How to fix "lighting needs to be rebuilt" warning in Unreal Engine 5?

Hi everyone,

I’m getting the message “Lighting needs to be rebuilt for X objects” in Unreal Engine 5 every time I load my level. I tried building lighting again using the Build button, but the warning still comes back.

  • I’m using Lumen (dynamic lighting)
  • No static lights in the scene
  • Using Nanite meshes
  • Lighting method: Deferred

Is there a way to permanently remove this warning when using dynamic lighting only?

Thanks in advance!

Go into the world settings and try ‘force no precomputed lighting’ and see if that does the trick.
