Realtime GI is broken if LoadLevelAdditive is used

Global Illumination

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open A.unity scene, let it bake GI. Open B.unity scene, let it bake GI.
2. Open A.unity scene again.
3. Find World object and make sure that "Load Additive" checkbox on World script is not checked.
4. Run the scene. You will see that the Qube on the Quad has indirect lighting around.
5. Stop playback, check "Load Additive" checkbox and run the scene again.
6. Scene B is loaded additively to scene A and both qubes now don't have any GI.

    PS: I've gotten around this by tagging game objects I want to keep persistent as 'Don't Destroy on Load' via PlayMaker

    @mumasboy Yes, that's our core problem too, baked lightmaps not loading. We're not so worried about the Realtime GI as we are about the Baked GI. When I logged the Baked GI issue, Unity QA said it's probably linked to Realtime issue and so they are bundling them together for now.

    Am I right in assuming that people are seeing this happen with baked lightmaps as well? i.e. not just the realtime GI.

    Seems to me that the switching from Beast to Geomerics has caused more and wider problems than it supposedly fixes... especially seeing as the vast majority of users are producing games for mobile as so do not benefit from all the fancy new features. Shame Beast wasn't kept on as an alternative legacy system - I kind of liked it.

    Agreed! I am frustrated they released 5 without this working also. I demoed the realtime GI to a client and now have to switch scenes old school bottleneck style, stairways, double doors...

    This is also a massive issue for our game. Additive load has no real benefit without this working. But regardless of what method you choose to load the levels, having multiple lightmaps seems to be the core problem! We've spent hours coming as close as we can to having the lightmaps load and match correctly to the renderers - we managed to change the renderer index and scale successfully - only to find that the actual properties we need seem to be embedded in the Lightmap Snapshot file which we don't have access too! It is becoming very frustrating trying to work this out so that we can get on with developing our game. No-one from Unity seems to have any inkling that this is even a problem.
