    This error message appears if the Indirect Multiplier is not zero. However, the lighting looks much better with this setting at 1, than it does at zero. So, should I be using it or not?

    That field does work as intended - it allows you to specify the indirect contribution strength from a given light. The warning simply implies that Enlighten realtime GI does not support more indirect bounces from punctual lights - only from directional lights.

    So, if you have the need to boost your indirect, then by all means use it and disregard the warning. Just keep in mind that boosting indirect intensity will mean that your lighting setup will no longer be PBR compliant.
