Problem with Directional Light

Hi everyone.

I've a little problem about Directional Light. Obviusly i've used a lot of time some directional lights but in this specific scene i can't understand the problem that i have. When i put a directional light and press PLAY, i can't see the light i saw in the editor but for example if i see to the ground i can see the "light" but if i look another time in the sky or in front of me the light disappear.

Sometimes when i walk around there is like a flash where the light appear and disappear more times.

Obviusly if i remove the directional light all works fine.

What's the problem? Something went wrong with the shadow of Directional light or something like that? :?:

Thanks in advance :)

    Do you have more than 4 lights in Forward rendering?
    that may be your problem if you do.

    I'm using Deferred Lighting also i put only one light on the scene and it's the directional light itself.

    "If i see on the ground,the directional light appear,if i see in front of me the directional light disappear"

    Too weird :O

    Edit: Ok the problem is for sure something with OVR camera because if i see with a normal camera or in the editor all work fine instead if i click on the OVR camera also in the editor and "move" the visual i see the light on the ground change with weird flash..

    Ok hm.. i hadn't already try the solution more simple..

    I've changed my OVR Character Prefab with the OVR character by default and all works fine. It's weird because on my prefabs i hadn't any scripts.

    Oh well.. now all works fine :D

    I've tried it with OVRCameraController and it worked just fine.

    If I remember correct, deferred rendering has issues with the Oculus integration. Specifically problems with dynamic lighting and shadowing. This may be related. It's recommended to us forward rendering.
