Global Illumination

-

Steps to reproduce:

2. Open 'Testbed' scene
3. Wait for the baking to complete
4. Play the scene
5. Press Enter to make it skip to the wave
6. Wait for enemies to kill the player
7. Restart the game by clicking the button
8. Quit play mode
9. The scene is now completely black

Note: Does not happen if baked GI is used instead of realtime GI.

    In Unity 5.2.0f3, if you call DynamicGI.UpdateEnvironment() after scene has loaded in the editor, this will fix the missing GI.
    I have implemented this workaround in a persistent (DontDestoyOnLoad) MonoBehaviour:

    void OnLevelWasLoaded(int level) {
    #if UNITY_EDITOR && (UNITY_5_0 || UNITY_5_1 || UNITY_5_2_0)
    if (UnityEditor.Lightmapping.giWorkflowMode == UnityEditor.Lightmapping.GIWorkflowMode.Iterative) {
    DynamicGI.UpdateEnvironment();
    }
    #endif
    }

    I found a quick fix. *Disregard previous post it was useless.

    Go to the Hierarchy Dialog,
    Select the Environment.
    In the Inspector click the enable / disable check box in upper right hand corner.
    Cut it off then back on.
    The scene should reload.

    Go to the Windows Tab,
    Select Lighting,
    Switch ambient GI from real time to baked.

    Finally, wait for the bake to complete,
    save scene and play...

    I can confirm that this issue occurs every single time. However, it can be solved by deactivating the black renderers, waiting for a few seconds, and reactivating them.

    I had this issue as well through the SpaceShooter tutorial. When the gameController restart the scene with Application.loadLevel command, the scene is reloaded as I wish, but the lighting were missing.

    I have been having this same issue! I was following the SurvivalShooter tutorial and, as a new user, I found this particularly frustrating. I kept on with the tutorial and it eventually reset back to normal after playtesting a few times.
