Point light not previewing and shown in game mode despite switching to Movable (Mac M1 Max)

[Olivetum]

Hi. I’ve just switched from Unity to Unreal and had a really nice experience but yesterday UE 5.1 stopped previewing my point and rectangle lights (Spot light works just fine), both in editor and gameplay. No matter if I switch them to movable mode and I cannot build my lightning (stuck at 0%).

Only thing I can gat is ‘Preview’ text when switched to Stationary.

There is already patchfix for this. Take a look to this thread

Point Lights not working in 5.1

When I add a Point Light to my scene it doesn’t turn on, all I see is the word “Preview” but no illumination. If I enabled “Distance Field Shadows” then it illuminates (albeit with no shadows, even after building). I have Built everything etc, but still nothing without enabling Distance Field Shadows. I have tried starting with a fresh project (eg ThirdPerson) and still same. I have also tried switching between Lumen and Screen Space illumination, no change. I am running 5.1 on macOS. Any ide…

Thanks a lot. This Quick Fix solved the problem.
