When using Capsule Indirect Shadows for Skeletal meshes who have their ILCQ set to Volume, and loading a SubLevel with it's actors not within the current camera's view, the indirect lighting is black.
If you keep the Skeletal Meshes in view and toggle the Sublevel's visibility, then the indirect lighting is fixed and works as expected.
Occurs in both 4.14.3 and 4.15.1 binary versions of the engine.
1. Open attached project.
2. While keeping the Skeletal meshes in your view, toggle the 'Test' sublevel visibility off and on.
3. Now look away from the meshes and toggle the sublevel again.
Outcome The Skeletal mesh using the Capsule Indirect shadows and ILCQ Volume settings applied renders black as if there were no indirect lighting.
Expected For the indirect lighting to load and be visible like the other skeletal meshes in the test project.
