Updated 23 November 2024
Lighting in levels with the Classic/GOTY pack selected will break if another level is loaded beforehand (2016 levels only).
Status: No current update at this time. There has been significant progress in reverse engineering the format used for Glacier's cached box reflections (the culprit of this bug). The tool to generate new BOXC files themselves to fix this issue is complete. However, the generation of accurate images themselves is still being worked on, and as such is not currently possible. Stay tuned for future progress.
There is an extremely rare bug that can occur on some NVIDIA graphics cards which causes massive bloom propagation (typically on surface reflections).
Status: Cannot fix. This is on NVIDIA's end. This seems to only affect a small handful of players and is not reproducible even with NVIDIA card. Check the current stickied post for possible solution/workaround steps.
The mod fails to deploy / is incompatible when also used with Freelancer Variations.
Status: Fixed in 2.6.1. Users have reported it to be fixed as of the 2.6.1 update. I will still keep an eye on this but for the time being I will consider this issue fixed (for now).
Lighting Ultimate (as well as all of my mods) is free, and will always be free. I will never charge for any of my mods.
