Well, be careful with Directional Lights not to use to many of them & also set the lights channels accordingly.

Make sure the angle (movement section in the properties actor) are NOT the same as another one that as a higher brightness value or else you won't see any difference after baking & will consume more resources for nothing.

If you use a specific channel in the Directional light, make sure the assets (BSP+SM) have that specific lighting channel activated.

Hope it help smile

One cause could be if you changed the sky dome and did not turn off cast shadows on this mesh. Good luck with hunting it down.

Are you working in additive mode or subtractive? Iirc directional light actors will not work in subtractive mode.

Hmm, thanks for the advice guys. I'll check the lighting channels and the mesh properties when I get home. There is only 1 directional light in the whole map (the sun) and it is additive.
