Do mobile devices get Future lighting?

Hey! So for awhile now I’ve had an issue with my homestore. We use future lighting, and for me on my PC the lighting looks great. But our mobile users, no matter what their graphics settings are, appear to be stuck using shadowmap. I tested this myself and messed with the graphics settings on my phone, and still got the same result. Here is the link to the homestore. And here are some pictures.

This is mobile on my iPhone 8+ with full graphics. I tried messing with the graphics settings and it all looked the same.

To me it just looks like mobile users don’t get future lighting. I even programmed a script that attempts to enable Future for mobile users, but it doesn’t seem to work either. Anyone know anything about this?

try making the mobile graphic setting to high?

That’s what the picture I showed is, the graphics were at max.

Due to it’s unoptimised nature, I don’t think so. Phones do not have near the same specs as the minimum required PC specs to even get 30FPS with future lighting enabled.

I figured, is there anything I can do to even out the lighting? I know many games use future and it looks good on mobile as well as PC, any idea how to do that?

I know there are some ways to make Shadowmap look as if it’s Future lighting, and that’s by messing with the lighting settings (I have an extremely basic knowledge of how to actually do this, and you may need to look up tutorials on DevForum or YouTube). Personally though, I think your homestore looks great even without the Future lighting technology.

I’ll look into it, thanks for the help.

You could try a client side script which checks if the game is on future or shadowmap, then adjust the lighting settings accordingly

There should be Future lightning on devices like the iPad Pro or an iPhone 11 or 12, but on older devices I doubt they can handle it.

Hey! Sorry for the bump. But good news! Future graphics are now finally out on mobile devices!

Not sure if it’s out on mobile, as it was taken on IPad.

Does not appear to work for Android devices, Roblox is like always forgetting android users…

Sorry android users, but your devices don’t have the right specs.

Some android devices have high specs, they should, at least, allow user to get future lightning on max graphics

The high specs on some android phone for example:

8gb RAM
Qualcomm snapdragon (the last ones)

I have some good news, they’re going to add it in mid 2023.

Yeah, 6 month bump…
