No Lumen in view modes

Hi
I don’t have Lumen in view modes also in the “Show” tab. How can I enable it?
Using UE5, Lumen in enabled

It’s part of the show menu

Oops, and part of Modes

Do you have it switched on in the project settings?

I guess no, how do I switch it in the project settings?

Look for global illumination method.

Ah you mean to switch on the Lumen. Yes it is switch on. I thought I have to switch on something else to see Lumen in View Mode.

Nope, that’s all.

Is it because it’s a ray tracing project? ( I notice that showing up in your view modes, and not mine ).

I don’t think so, because it doesn’t appear when I turn off ray tracing, also I have other projects without ray tracing where there is no Lumen in View Mode and in Show tab. :neutral_face: Even google didn’t help me.

Weird…

In your Lit Tab dropdown, the ‘Virtual Shadow Map’ item is missing as well. It does show up for me, even if I select the standard shadow map method. It should be active for new UE5 projects by default - I don’t have any migrated project to test.
No solution, but maybe it is helpful as a hint for problem determination.

Yes, that’s strange… Shadow method is set “virtual shadow maps”…
