I have recently started a tile based game. So far so good, I implemented Box2D and added rigid bodies for the tiles. Then I added Box2D Lights. This is where the problem arose. This is a screenshot of the issue: Image.

As you can see half the screen is rendered, and the other half is not, although the shadows are still created by the bodies. This is definitely a problem with Box2D lights, because if I disable them the problem disappears. As far as I can see Box2D lights decides to stop some textures from being rendered, probably because it thinks that they are off screen.

My Question is, does anyone know what this is or how to solve it? I believe that this is a bug, and if anyone knows more help would be appreciated!

My light rendering code is as follows

// Game stuff is rendered here. This part works fine.

// ...

// Render lights
rayHandler.setCombinedMatrix(PixelEngineers.camera);
rayHandler.updateAndRender();

Alright, my fault, solved this by rendering the lights AFTER the batch had been ended. // Game stuff is rendered here. This part works fine.

// ...

batch.end()

// Render lights rayHandler.setCombinedMatrix(PixelEngineers.camera); rayHandler.updateAndRender(); `
