All my materials in my editor look black, as well as meshes that contain these materials whereas they look fine on another machine. I’ve tried reinstalling UE5.1 but that doesn’t seem to fix it.
Missing or corrupted assets: Make sure all assets required by your project are present and not corrupted. If any assets are missing, they should be re-imported into the project.
Incorrect renderer settings: Check the renderer settings in your Unreal Editor, specifically the “Rendering Mode” and “Shading Model” settings. Make sure the correct settings are selected for your project.
Incorrect lightmap resolution (Unlikely): Check the lightmap resolution for your materials and meshes. If the lightmap resolution is too low, it can cause materials to appear black. You can increase the lightmap resolution in the “Lighting” section of the Unreal Editor.
Incorrect material setup: If your materials are not set up correctly, they may appear black. Check the material graph, texture maps, and material properties to make sure everything is set up correctly.
Driver or hardware issues: If your graphics card drivers are outdated or there is an issue with your hardware, it could cause materials to appear black. Try updating your drivers or checking your hardware to resolve the issue.
