Greets.

I have a 3GHz system with 1.5GB RAM and 256MB Gfx card. I make 1 large prefab room, put in 3 lights and RUN it, and it take FOREVER to compile it [240] take quite a long time, and [270] takes ages!

My specs are more than 3 times the required specs - and this immense amount of time just to see my first room (without anything else) is a bit mad. Please make an efficient compiler for the next patch.

Regards.

Are you compiling it with "Full Shadow Lightmaps"?

The compiling time is nothing more than in inconvenience for the developer, which is not really all that bad as you do not need to compile the lights until the last compile. The load time between levels however is horrendous and affects the user. Takes 3 mins to change a small level. I shudder to think about a large one.
