Occlusion culling is not working on point lights? UE5 bug?

Maybe not a perfect solution but it might help performance

You can use Max Distance for your lights as well. This is a feature used quite a bit in Fortnite where we can have a lot of lights. Set the Max Distance that they are visible from the camera. They will pop off outside of this distance. Use the Max Fade Distance to have them fade out so it’s not as noticeable too. **Min Screen Radius for Lights ** sets a minimum radius that lights must affect on the screen to still be visible before they are culled. If the light gets small enough they are culled…

Culling a light is more complex as you have to check if it’s shadow is visible even if the light is off screen.

You could probably attach it to an actor and have that drive it’s visibility via “Use Attach Parent Bounds”
