Imported textures are now displayed at a lower resolution

[LosesoIcanwin]

Summary

Since the latest update, all imported textures on our island are displayed at a much lower resolution than it was imported in, even though the LOD bias is still set to 0. Multiple meshes using imported textures now appear much blurrier and less detailed because of this.

This forum post showcases the same issue:

Imported textures forced to lower resolution — non-zero Combined LOD Bias applied despite asset LOD Bias set to 0

Summary Imported textures are displayed at a much lower resolution than imported. A non-zero Combined LOD Bias is applied even though the asset LOD Bias is 0 and no Maximum Texture Size is set.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Assets

Steps to Reproduce

1. Import a texture into a uefn project. Any texture size should show a difference between the imported resolution and the displayed resolution, but it should probably be imported no lower than 1024 preferably

2. Open the texture through the content drawer and make sure the lod bias is set to 0

3. Observe the info panel at the top right and compare the “Imported” and “Displayed” resolution scale

Expected Result

Because the LOD bias is set to 0, both the “Imported” and “Displayed” resolution scales should be the same.

Observed Result

Even though the LOD bias is set to 0, the “Displayed” resolution scale appears much lower than the “Imported” resolution scale. Also if you look at the texture image it appears much blurrier. If you also apply the texture to a mesh, it appears blurrier than it should be.
