I’m loving this extension! The only problem is that when the lights are off, the FPS jumps from 60 to 1 on hardware ☹ Any reason why? EDIT: When I turn the lights off in my game (which I can do at press of button) the FPS jumps to 1, and when I turn it back on, it goes back to 60 ---

It requires a very fast CPU! Your computer can handle it but it’s a little tougher on hardware. ---

larger lights seem to be taking up higher amounts of CPU, with just 2 at a band width of 40 a drop to 7 fps
