Static Lighting Breaks On Play

How has this never been fixed or is this a new bug? When I press play I expect my lighting to look the exact same as it does in the editor!

Changing my light nodes from Static to Stationary or Movable fixes this issue.

Why the hell is it broken? It’s not even a lighting or post process setting! Why does the Mobility of the light dictate whether or not it is broken?

This is where I figured out to change Mobility settings.

I just learned that using world space with a light function will break the light function as well.

It still doesn’t explain why Static also breaks it.

I guess I’ll look for an alternative to Light Functions unless there’s a way to calculate world space or object locations without the use of the world space node.
