    Testing Track in Private MP session - No Lights

    Just tried a test of my track in a private session and all point lights were gone except 2 dynamic (directional) lights.
    This had happened before but exiting MP and going back in worked and lights appeared. This time it did not. (several times)
    I've been told that the track will be ok once uploaded to TC. But i would like to test lighting also before i do, as a lot are triggered.

    Does anyone have some info on this? Can anyone confirm an upload will fix the issue and it will not happen in MP. Is it only in the test?

    Thanks for the report. I'll check with the engineers.

    Question, is it a X-Supercross track or a Trials track?

    It is a X-Supercross multiplayer track.

    i should have added this happened only after playing in public online play and then switching to test my track.
    i remember having tested before directly and the lighting working, but i'll test again.

    * just did a test with another 2 players. mytrack then an uploaded track in the main list then mine again.

    result.
    on my ps4 mytracks lighting worked but not on others who were already playing trials.
    then we played normal uploaded XS track seemed ok.
    then mine again, but this time lighting for me was off and for others.

    so seems playing uploaded track then mine, which isnt uploaded, is were it loses the lights.

    hope this helps.

    * tested with another track of mine with a test point light added was ok - so just affecting my new track.

    How it should look


    after playing apples and rainbows - atmosphere consistently appears like this after this track


    after playing another track.


    reloading track into editor then going straight to MP private session fixes it. until you load another track.

    Can be reproduced easily by creating a new track with these settings. a little fog influence i think.
    Different tracks have different effects.



    its possible the lights are there but get washed out if low.
    seems to be enough of a change to not be noticed in a bright track.
    in mine the shadows are completely gone.

    TEST TRACK UPLOADED. - "Lighting Test" Error persists after upload.
    Track is fine played through TC but lighting is broken when played after another track in a MP session.

    ** seems to be affecting other tracks that are dark

    light intensity = 3



    in some tests lights appear to be there but washed out.
    Also see above i uploaded a test track with similar settings.

    TEST TRACK UPLOADED. - name "Lighting Test"

    Error persists after upload.

    ive managed to find settings now that dont change in MP.
    running tests now to find out which setting is causing this.

    i think i've tracked this down to "sun intensity" in environment settings.
    mine was set at 0 zero. if i change to 2 the track looks the same in mp test private session.

    hope this helps.
