Summary
Using Unreal engine 5.7.
2d texture arrays have a button to “Convert to Virtual Texture”. This button doesn’t do anything.
You can preload each index with a virtual texture. But viewport visualizers reveal that using a 2d texture array disables virtual texture streaming for any textures inside that array.

Steps to Reproduce
Create a 2d texture array. Try to convert it into a virtual texture array. (You can’t).
Populate the array with virtual textures. Assign the array to a material. Put the material on a cube in your world. Check the Stack count viewport visualizer.
Expected Result
Being able to create 2d Virtual textures arrays that stream textures is the expected result.
Observed Result
2d texture arrays aren’t compatible with texture streaming.
