Halo 4 Forge Lighing Glitch

Well, I ran into a huge problem with my map today. When I tried to add the last few pieces to my map, the lighting goes all wonky. After trying for hours to fix it, I looked it up online. Turns out its a common glitch. There is a hidden 'dynamic lighting budget' in forge. Someone went through all the trouble of testing out each piece and gave them a value on how much of your budget it takes up. So try to use the least expensive items when forging.

Here is link to post on Forgehub.

Did 343 not even test this or what...

So what does the map look like when the dynamic lighting fails?

Everything within so many yards is super dark, and everything mid to far off is SUPER BRIGHT. It moves with you like a dark cloud in a solid white room.

Wow, I feel as though i am bound to run into this issue once i go about forging some zombie maps. One would think that 343i would have at least accounted for this shortcoming with a visible dynamic lighting budget. On another note, what is this project of yours wheels?

I'm making a new Trident which is vastly different and I've been running into this lighting glitch. Turns out I've pretty much used all the objects which contribute to the lighting glitch. Opps.
