Having this exact same issue and you’re the only other person I’ve been able to find who is also experiencing it. If I quickly hover over the tabs with my cursor as soon as my project opens, it’ll show me the drop menu briefly then begin to flicker. If stop hovering my cursor, then hover again, it’ll just show me a mirrored image of my viewport where the dropdown is suppose to be, just like in your image. Happens with older projects and new blank ones.
Here’s a list of things I already attempted:
- Updating and rolling back drivers
- Disabling any kind of overlay or capture software
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Unreal
- Disabling Multi-Plane Overlay(MPO)
- Restoring NVIDIA program settings for Unreal
- Forced Unreal to launch into DirectX 11
- Ensured G-Sync is disabled
- Lower monitor refresh rate
- Test with just 1 monitor
- Toggled Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling
Hardware Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D & RTX 4070 Ti Super
I’m not the most savvy with this sort of stuff but I’ll update if anything changes
Update: More of a bandaid fix but I found that forcing Unreal to launch in Vulkan rather than DX12/11 seemed to make the issue go away.
You can do this by right-clicking on your unreal engine desktop shortcut: select Properties > select the Shorcut tab at the top > next to Target: will be a box that contains the file path for your unreal editor > at the end of this file path put a space then -vulkan
It should look something like this “C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.8\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor.exe” -vulkan
I’m still going to try and find a more concrete fix so I can operate in the vanilla DX12. If you or anyone else manages to find a solution I’d greatly appreciate an update!
