Custom lighting is broken since last version

Summary

Latest Fortnite update broke custom world lighting in creative maps, i.e disabling Time of day manager and setting up lighting on your own.

When spawning/respawning into the wold it takes a few seconds for actual environment to be properly lit, the world is darker for a few seconds, then lights up correctly. happens in every spawn/respawn. Really breaks fast pace game loops where you reload/reboot the player.
