Hi guys, long time lurker first time posting!
We’re having a problem with building the lighting in our level since 4.25. It seems to get stuck when computing the light from the Sun&Sky. We have tried removing the saved data and letting unreal rebuild the folder, reducing light emission and bounce settings, turning off shadows on large amounts of objects and so on. The overdraw and lighting complexity maps are all green, there is a single light source from the sun&sky. The landscape is pretty large but nothing compared to a modern game. Even with all these changes were not getting beyond 0.00% in 4-5 hours of light building so something must be broken. The full log created by SwarmAgent is below:

Please help. We plan on adding many more objects to this open world and cant have build times like this.
