Light Baking takes ~5 hour or more
Hi, When i bakeing my light it takes min. 5 hours.Each change i am waiting this time because i cant see results before finish.Is there another way to see how my game will look after bake without wait ?
How can i make it faster ? I have 3770k i7,ssd + 16gb ram and gtx980.Should i change my hardware or something else for fast result ?

We have the same problem and this is what we did:
A better graphics card.
When just testing lighting (not at the end of the project):
Set the default params lower
Set the Baked Resolution lower
Final Gather will increase Bake Time and scales depending how high the Count is
Turn off Precomputed Realtime GI
Set Directional Mode to non-directional
When doing the final bake at the end of the project, crank these settings up and be prepared to wait. Sorry, Enlighten is just slow. I believe 5.5 will add a better baking system but until then, you must wait
