Summary
Since a recent update to Fortnite, all my foliage elements (especially rocks) exhibit a significant black flicker in the viewport and in-game. This issue is specific to elements placed in Foliage mode.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite
What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
World Building
Steps to Reproduce
Open UEFN on PC.
Select the Foliage tool.
Add a custom Static Mesh to the foliage palette.
Paint the rocks onto the landscape.
Observe the rocks in the viewport or launch a game session.
Expected Result
The rocks placed with the Foliage tool should render correctly and smoothly, exactly like a single Static Mesh placed manually in the scene.
Observed Result
The foliage instances violently flicker and flash black. Important note: The exact same Static Mesh renders perfectly without any bugs when placed individually; the black flickering ONLY occurs when it is painted as Instanced Foliage.

Additional Notes
I’m absolutely certain this bug appeared after an update because the display was perfect before and I haven’t touched anything since. Could you please take a look at it please ?
