4.18.2 1. Add r.LightPropagationVolume=1 to my console variables .ini and restart. 2. enable Emissive (Dynamic Area Light) in the material. 3. Add a directional light, enable Dynamic Indirect lighting, set Dynamic Shadow Distance StationaryLight to 10, and set intensity to .004 4. In World Settings, I check Force No Precomputed Lighting. 5. Add a post process volume and set to Infinite Extent (Unbound) I see the LPV section with parameters. I attempt to rebuild the lighting, and it fails. Solutions?
