Hello. I have 3 light sources in my scene (stationary sky light, stationary directional light, static point light). When I’m trying to build lightning with that scene

I’m getting this:

Seems like my point light is just dissapearing. If I want to return it I should move point light a little or change intensity. Why does it happening? I don’t think it’s problem with lightmaps, because I’m not getting any warnings about it after build.

Most likely Lumen is enabled, which disables lightmaps (and by extension, static lights)

Nope, lumen is disabled and everything works fine in few other levels.
