Bright Light in "Grid Map"?

Hello! (Sorry, but my English isnt good) i Have a Proplem!

In the Map "Grid map" is a bright light (near the 3 ramps). And when i pass by the light the game are slowly and laggy (only at the light). And i cant delete the light? How can i fix this? Sorry for my bad english im german . I hope you can unterstand it, or you know what i mean^^.

 

I get it too, I believe it's a Torque3D bug.

 

Heres is a screenshot from the light.

 

Got the same thing. Looked in the editor, but came up with nothing.

 

Same is happening to me. Strangely enough, the light has begun to appear on some user made maps as well, such as Allegheny, and I know it wasn't there before.

 

I see it in most maps. In the editor the bright light is made by an object called "spotlight". I tried to delete it, but the more I press delete the brighter it gets lol.

 

The lighting on grid, pure is very strange too.
I set the time of day to roughly sunset and on some parts of the map it is black as night and elsewhere it's bright as day, in addition to the random spotlight.

 

I had it before the 11th's update, but now it just comes and goes.

 

Maybe it has t do with the fact Torque doesn't yet understand how to rotate cars? I noticed it only showed up on Puregrid when I switch a car to another car (Via the "E" menu). If I spawn in a car with the editor it doesn't happen, only when switching the cars, so maybe it's an artifact from the previous vehicle?

 

hi @ all!

This is my first post and my first serious problem. I used the world editor to remove all of the spotlights on the "Grid map", hopefully the Map stops to lag this bad!
So far it works good, even with 2 other cars on the map, but today the game starts to freeze when i use the ramps!? Can someone help me plz? Even with the original saved file from the map?
Or is there a option in the world editor to set the map on its initial point?

thanking you in anticipation!

 

If you run the updater it will restore grid map to its default settings, also for the lag, have you tired lowering the graphics settings?

 

Thx for that tip with the updater! it seems that the "Grid Map" is now free from this spot lights after the update, or is it just a illusion? The graphic setting are almost all at normal and it runs now pretty fine! Tomorrow i will try it with some other cars!

 

No problem. The spotlight issue may re-occur its a bug in the engine as far as I know, reloading a map or restarting the game can often fix it.

 

Just tested the map with two other cars (no AI just the cars) and the map still freeze? I can play about 15 minutes then it freeze! I have changed nothing on the map except for the two cars? Maybe i crashed to often in a already destroyed car and my Computer is unable to manage this much on derformation? I guess it still get´s off topic, sry...

 

hows it going. I had this issue as well and it seems to show up when spawning cars. I went into the editor and selected the spotlight and moved it in the Z-axis way below the map so the cone wasn't hitting anything visible. The lag associated with it immediately went away. I hope this helps

 

thank you for that, but i prefer to change nothing on the map and wait till the next update to correct this isuee
at the last couple of times, there was no freeze at all, although i spawned 2 other cars on the map, if got no plan why it works now? (with lag problems because of the lights)

 

I did this but it will just come back when A: after an update, or B: sometimes it will randomly come back. So hopefully this will be addressed and fixed in a future update...

 

at least the guys at beamng are trying to fix it but it is very annoying

 

Any progress or workaround updates for this issue? I still get it and can't get rid of it ! Selecting the hidden spotlight and moving it down underneath the level did not work for me, it still there when spawning a new vehicle.
