> ⚠ Important: Please include the version number of the game in the title! (for example: [0.16.11.0] Broken Feature). > **The latest version is [0.16.11.0]** The radii and IES projection cones for dynamic lights are not consistent and do not persist between reloads, the distance from world origin doesn’t appear to have any bearing on it, this was tested in Smooth Dirt with the items being placed a mere few thousand units away from world origin Please see below for screenshots and videos of this issue being documented # Steps to Reproduce Please list how this bug can be reproduced, if possible. Pictures would be much appreciated! 1. Open condo (Smooth Dirt in my case) 2. Set to night time 3. Place two Light Panels (8,000 Units each) some distance apart 4. Set the Light Panels IES Style to Wings 5. Angle one of the two Light Panels at 45° (Set Orientation to 0.38) 6. Place a Spacelight (5,000 Units each) about x1.5 to x2 the distance away, with default values - do not change them 7. Observe the strength and radii of the dynamic lights, documenting with a screenshot if necessary 8. Quit and reload ## What I expected to happen - Radii, strength, and IES to be consistent and persist between reloads - Items to retain their assigned properties (colour, light radius, etc.) between reloads - Properties to be networked consistently to clients, regardless of the method used (eg. Dragging with Gizmo arrows, adjusting value sliders in Item Properties, clicking in the Colour Wheel, or manually typing values in to Gizmos and Item Properties followed by pressing Enter) # What happened The issue the bug caused. # Issues that may be related > [@\[0.16.11.0\] Condo Lighting Desync](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/0-16-11-0-condo-lighting-desync/47983): > > warning Important: Please include the version number of the game in the title!

I’m posting because the last update said it had fixed the “item scale rounding desync issue” - I assumed it was referring to this, but it still happens, and has for at least a year. It is especially noticeable at lower scale values. This makes building tiny rooms a real hassle, as if you want to set an object to a small scale, you have far fewer options. It also means many doors are broken, especially smaller ones - because … * * * # Notes / Media Other misc. notes about the bug.

This is now fixed in the next hot fix.
