Summary

When applying a physical material “snow” as the default physical material to a landscape, I don’t get all the cool things that the physical material does (like footprints, player footprint sfx) and also this issue I found has created lag for me (happens every 5 seconds - copying all actors to a new level seems to have fixed it a little though, but very strange). Halcyon has the project file for repro. Lastly, the snow that the physical material generates becomes black when looking at the sky.

Steps to Reproduce

Grab the project file “Mercenaries” (Halcyon has it)
Run live edit and run in the snow

Expected Result

Player footsteps should appear when running and you hear player footstep sfx

Observed Result

no footsteps, no sfx
