Do you have a lot of high poly models in your level?

3

Yes, most likely some bad guy object hiding in your scene?
You can use the Statistics tool and switch to Primitive Stats - that will give you an overview on objects / triangle counts.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll have to start looking around

Quite a bit, I did lower the lightmap resolution all all meshes

Hi @ThunderWInteractive

Few things may cause this issue.
The first thing that I usually do are clean cache & validate - look for Cache at the top shelf on the Swarm Agent window, you will see the 2 options there.
Second, if you have a huge mesh that may cause a problem when baking (when I say huge, I mean really huge in dimension)
Third, make sure you use Lightmass Importance Volume

I hope that help.
Cheers

Thanks for the info, I cleaned and validated the cache. It takes about 20 minutes to Collect the Scene as well. Is a big open-world map. I am thinking I may need to build a swarm farm and see if that helps. In terms of huge meshes. the only big mesh would be the landscape if you could that as a mesh. But it has built lighting before. I guess it’s all down to detective work.

@Loki8Toki Okay, So I am having multiple issues here that I am hoping I can fix. so my building was stuck at %99 for 9 hours so I did cancel it. It takes about 20 minutes for it to “Collecting the Scene” After I start building. I am also now getting Build Lighting failed with no error message. I am currently verifying UE4 and then I’ll post a log

And also one more thing. I still get two errors when attempting to build
Here is the log
AgentLog_132973537827644551.zip (4.9 MB)

I also get this:

InstancedFoliageActor_0 The total lightmap size for this InstancedStaticMeshComponent is large, consider reducing the component’s lightmap resolution or number of mesh instances in this component

Hi @ThunderWInteractive

I would recommend first breaking the scene into sub-levels (level streaming) if you haven’t already.
Then, try baking each level separately so you can narrow the number of static meshes for the baking process - it should be faster (it also will help you find problematic static meshes faster).
Regarding the “InstancedFoliageActor_0 The total lightmap size…” - you should enter Lightmap Density mode (Alt + 0 or view mode => Optimization View modes => Lightmap Density) and check that you don’t have anything red/reddish, if you do you should lower its lightmap resolution.
Usually green is the best, but sometimes blue/blueish can be good too - it depends on the details that you need and how complex the mesh is.

Cheers
