I have a room with 10 wall light entities placed on the walls.I placed a static light in front of every light with a small light range.When I do a test level of the game every light shows up and lightmaps the level.When I build the game to an .exe only two lights lightmap the scene.Is this another bug.

I've just tried it and the lighting looks ok for me both in the test and exe versions. What settings did you use on the Build Game Dialog?

I used Soft Lightmaps
High Textures
1x Pixel Shader & Dynamic lights

I used full lightmapping
High Textures
No pixel Shader and No Dynamic lights.

Do you think the problem is using full lightmapping?

The problem does seem to be with full lightmapping as I tried it with soft lightmapping and it worked just fine.Does anyone know why this is.

perhaps full mapping is looks better and is more reliable.

You could use soft for testing, and then whn your ready to make the final release, or a beta release, turn full mapping on, and go find something else to do

Solved the problem. Try lowering the lights down a little bit, I think they were getting interfered with by the platforms on the second layer. I moved them down and the lights worked.
