Lightmap baking improvements Clay John changed the logic for baking direct lighting in LightmapGI to spread it over multiple frames, avoiding a spike of computation that can lead the OS to trigger TDR , resulting in a crash of the GPU context ( GH-102257 ). Export: Disable Metal and Vulkan renderers in simulator builds.

has an entirely new rendering architecture, which is divided into modern and compatibility backends. The modern one does rendering via RenderingDevice (which is implemented in drivers such as Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and more in the future). Rendering is significantly more efficient in Godot 4.0, Low level rendering access.

The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. Lightmapping is a very cheap operation, so it should run fine even on low end mobile. How does it look? How do I use it? Tweaking Options.
