Materials I downloaded from Fab turn black in shadowed areas.

Materials I downloaded from Fab turn black in shadowed areas. Materials that previously worked fine suddenly turned black. When I create a new material using the textures from the same material, it works without issues, and materials from the starter pack also have no problems. The issue only occurs with materials downloaded from Fab. Even when I download a new material and test it, I encounter the same problem.

Version: 5.4.4


Is there no one to provide an answer???

Greetings @Designs0

Does this issue only happen to materials that lack direct lighting? (Shaded) If so, I’m wondering if it could be with the ambient occlusion. (Also is this a VR project/plugins?)

Settings>Engine Scalability Settings>I set all the settings to Epic. This resolved the issue.

The issue was difficult to identify because I didn’t notice any problems when I initially changed these settings. A few days later, when I realized the issue, it took me quite a while to figure it out. If the problem had appeared immediately after making the changes, I would have reverted the settings right away.

Right on. At least you got it resolved. Have a great week!
