Going to UE5.6 broke my landscape a couple different ways, most of which I found a fix to, but there is still a section of my landscape that doesn’t appear, and I can’t find a reason. When I paint it, it reappears until I save and then disappears again:

I’ve been using a free auto material from the store that I’ve customized to my needs, and it worked perfectly before going to 5.6, would love any insights! Might just go back to 5.5 if I can’t fix it.

Never found a fix for this but I just ended up copying the height map and using it to create a fresh landscape, had to repaint it all over again but the new one works so oh well.
