Facing Black shader (Texture missing) issue, after migrating Levels in UE 5.5.4

[VishalDarkunde]

Hello, Guyz

I am facing Black shader (Texure missing error) while migrating level into freshly build scene in UE 5.5.4, has any one face the similar issue and has some solution to it.

Steps i am doing.

1. Opening my build scene Level which is build in UE 5.5.4
2. Right click on the level >> assetAction >> Migrate
3. Asset Report window will appear >>> Click ok >>> content folder path selected of freshly Build scene under UE 5.5.4 version >>> ok.
4. now after opening the freshly build scene file and open the same level which was migrated, is now showing a black shader issue, not a single asset in the level is showing textures.

Hello @VishalDarkunde!

This issue has popped up from time to time across the community. Since you recently migrated your level, it could mean the materials and/or textures failed to hook up to their targets. Let’s try the following:

• Open the migrated level, and make sure that shaders have fully compiled (Window > Developer Tools > Shader Compile Stats)
• Check one mesh in the Details panel, and confirm what material is set. If it’s “DefaultMaterial”, you a broken references there
• Re-run the migration, but this time point it to a fresh folder inside Content (for example, Content/MigratedTest/). This will avoid conflicts with existing folders
• After the new migration is complete, delete folders /Saved and /DerivedDataCache in the target project, re-open, and let shaders rebuild again
• If elements are still black, open one of the migrated materials, then re-assign a texture manually to confirm textures came across correctly

I’m encountering an issue since I moved to Unreal Engine 5.5 (and higher) where textures and materials sometimes appear completely black. This affects both the previews in the Content Browser and the materials applied to meshes in the scene, causing the entire mesh to appear black. Strangely, the issue resolves itself temporarily when I manually open the texture in the editor, after which everything looks normal. Additional Information: Current Engine version: 5.5.1 The issue occurs sporadical…

Objects turn black at random. Opening the material corrects it?

When in unreal Engine, the engine will lock up randomly while moving, and when it does, random objects lose their textures and become black. To correct the black textures i simply open the texture in the content viewer and it goes back to normal. how do i get the objects to not turn black in the first place? UE 5.5.1 (On 5.5.0 UE had the word “PREVIEW” written across every texture, but this seems to have been fixed in 5.5.1, however now i have the new issue of stuff turning black?) See vide…
