Known Issues

• Dynamic light may not appear when you're holding molotov or pipe bomb. It's caused by custom survivor models that lack default attachment points, authors of such models may have removed or renamed attachments that are used by the addon.

• The game is crashing. Mostly, it's caused by addons that burden your game, in this case, decrease the value of parameter Limit in the file ../Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/dynamic_light/settings.txt, it will set the limit of the dynamic lights that the addon shall use.
