Failed executing external process for Bake Visibility job

Questions & Answers
1

Since this morning, I have the error "Failed executing external process for ‘Bake Visibility’ job when I try to bake my lightmaps. We do not use any real time lights in this project and I did not change any of my settings for baking today. We updated for the 5.2.1p2 on Monday.

My meshes are all in static and I use a variety of lights.
My computer runs on Windows 8.1 and I have 16 Gb of ram.

I already tried to clear the cache numbers of times. I also tried to allocate more memory and also I try with a customed location.

I really do not know what is going on and it is really problematic. :frowning:

Is any of you already got that issue? What could be the cause of this situation?

Update:
I discovered that I get this problem when I duplicate a mesh from my scene. However, I do not always get the error. Sometimes, my bake does complete itself and the maps are applied but the end result is weird. It is like there is not lights at all. As if my bake did not work in the end. But I do not get any error message.

Yep. Happens every other bake attempt, and usually - but not always - results in parts of the level not being lit, as if some lights are ignored. Very annoying (as is pretty much anything regarding Enlighten).

The solution to me was go to Window/Lighting. Then in the right panel you can see an option for baked gi. You must active the checkbox. To me it worked.
