hi @Butt3rboiii

The problem may be the same as in this post

In the future textures will need to be Power of 2

HLOD will work better with Power of 2 saving memory

Quote from Resizing Textures  
The example of the **WRONG** way

> For example, a 4000x4000 texture with no alpha layer would  
> _ **require 64 megabytes** _ of memory. This would have to be loaded at once and will still display at 4000x4000 even if it was causing [aliasing](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/uefn/unreal-editor-for-fortnite-glossary#aliasing) on a small billboard, far away from the player. Texture sizes that are too large can crash devices that do not have enough memory.

The **RIGHT** way saving of 8 times in memory

> By contrast, a _ **4096x4096 version** _ of a texture that uses Default compression will **consume only 8 megabytes** , stream progressively, and produce less aliasing at a distance. Texture sizes that are too large will also increase its package size but will not cause the gameplay to crash.
