Description
Reflection probes become almost irresponsive or extremely slow to update while editing EEP. ( Haze setting simply slows down probes).
Instant repro:
- Open personal lightning on a region with a default eep with RPA > 0 (PBR) tweak values specially Haze setting, which makes it easy to notice, move the slider to the max and back.
Same or similar happens after long sessions, default region probes just become somewhat irresponsive.
The only fix is to log out and back in... or go make a coffee and wait for the viewer to decide to update all of them.
Edit:
This is another landmark from a buddy @ Venus Tattoos (angelo.venus)... there it is really easy to notice default reflection probes fighting each other. (Place the camera inside the building around the center area, and rotate around, will also notice some sort of flickering... similar to another ticket with a large mesh building.)

Research direction
Reproduce the reflection-probe slowdown by opening Personal Lighting on a region with a default EEP and changing the Haze slider, then compare it with the long-session behavior. Use the Sintaire landmark to observe probes fighting or flickering while moving the camera. Done means probes update responsively during EEP editing and after long sessions without logging out or waiting for a delayed refresh.
