Beta 2 Bug: Light Rays have issues when going from Advanced to Basic to Advanced

Toggling the Lighting causes issues. It breaks the light rays and it also causes the screen to go white at times. If you need a screen shot let me know.

    switching between the two lighting modes kills a lot of the shader stuff, my console keeps telling me about recompile errors and such, i'll post some samples here next time it gives me some

    Might want to start a new thread so it doesn't get missed.

    Yeah, going from Advanced->Basic and back and forth has issues right now. If you can give me a screenshot that would help in the case of the LightRays in particular. If you need this to work *right now* you can simply set the LightRays up to disable when you switch.

    What your seeing in beta4 is PostEffects that are not working properly with BL still running and giving you weird effects.

    In the next release the PostEffect objects will properly disable themselves if the engine state doesn't meet all the requirements it has and it will do so without leaving a bunch of errors in the console.
