This bug still persists in Engine Version 4.7.6

Is there an update on this?

I believe the problem is that upon import the Default material is the world grid and not the BASE MESH Materials.

Hey -

Thank you for the report. We are still working on this issue. Since the new Material Slots are a Editor Glitch and do not create performance issues for games, it has been backlogged for a while. I have added your report to our issue and have asked we look into increasing the priority of this issue, but I still do not have an exact time table for any fix.

Thank You Again -

Hey Eric,

It is good to hear it is just an editor glitch and does not affect performance. Most certainly should be backlogged. More important things to focus on that are engine specific. I appreciate your reply.

Regards

This still seems to be a problem in 4.9.2

Any suggestions on when it might be fixed, since it seems it has been a problem for one and a half year?

Hi Fjordhoj,

This is still backlogged. It’s not likely to be resolved soon due to other priorities. As previously mentioned this is just an editor glitch and does not affect performance.
