Question "Using more than 1 pixel lights on a mobile device may decrease performance"

I'm developing a URP project for mobile and I keep getting this warning message every time I build it:

I don't see anything related to pixel lights in the Quality settings menu. Any idea why I get this warning?

 

Click directly on one of the names, and see if more options pop up.

 

The warning is a little misleading when using the URP. It's technically correct, but the "setting" you're looking for is set in the URP asset that's assigned at the top of the Quality settings menu.


Find the pipeline asset(s) in your project view.


Then change the Additional Lights' "Per Object Limit" setting.

 

Thanks, bgolus! That's what I thought but since "Additional Lights" is disabled in my project I wasn't sure. I even tried setting "Per Object Limit" to 0 and disabling "Additional Lights" but I still get that warning. Either it's a bug or there's another setting that triggers the warning message.

 

Then it's probably a bug and really is complaining about the per pixel lights setting that's hidden and not being used.

 

Yes, looks like a bug. It seems to always happen when I change the quality settings to "High", regardless of the actual lighting settings. I reported it to Unity.

 

Yeah, apparently that problem existed in older versions of unity, since 2011. It's most likely a bug.
