Hey everyone!
Running into a frustrating issue with Blueprint-based Data Assets. They’re showing up as white/blank in the Content Browser every time I restart the editor.
If I open and save them, they display fine temporarily, but the problem comes right back after the next restart. The weird thing is that PIE and packaged builds work perfectly.
But im not sure if that could have a underlaying cause that could be more critical? It also only started to happen recently and the old data asset that are untouched load properly.
Things I’ve already tried: Clean installs of both UE 5.6 and 5.7 Fresh empty project with no plugins, PC restart, Cleared all caches (Saved, Intermediate, DDC), Disabled antivirus, Fixup redirectors, ect…
Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas? Thanks!
Apparently they’re used by objects (blueprints?) that load with the editor.
Your test asset isn’t used by anyone, so it doesn’t load automatically, and even its icon isn’t loaded (the default icon is used).
This works for any assets (as long as they are not specified as primary).
I have multiple project where data assets are used by other Blueprint and the issue remains. I just tested now with a fresh actor and set a var with asset data ref. The data asset stay blank when loading the project but get properly updated if i either save it, save the blueprint that reference it. The problem is that if the data asset show blank you can’t select it in the asset data var list. So it can be anoying if your working with a lot of asset data. (Ps: i only work with blueprints, no c++ involved)
Oh, I encountered a similar problem when I wanted to call a cast (it doesn’t show up in the node list until I load the required class manually), sometimes I didn’t even see standard macros in the node list (loop, gate, etc.).
Thank you! This fix the issue, at least i can set all the parent primary and get them to load. Its an odd bug and i dont understand why its happening on my machine and not on most other users?
