Landscape Layers in 5.7 is completly broken, there lot of issues with Landscape in 5.7.
There are bugs that still haven’t been fixed since 5.6, such as… : World Partition Landscape Auto Material Issue with 5.6 (Non-Nanite) - Development / World Creation - Epic Developer Community Forums
I’m really wondering what’s going on at Epic right now, because not fixing these issues urgently makes 5.7 practically unusable.
