My materials textures are disappearing on application, and other related issues

So i’ve opened a new project to try and display this on a clean surface. In the below link Is just the project space with a bunch of material samples and maps. The important one to note is Default Virtual Texture in the second row furthest right.

Attempting to click the arrow for using the selected asset always results in a freeze

Attached are my computer specs but TLDR

Ryzen 5 2600 @3.4ghz

Nvidia 1070 8gb of vram

RAM ~16gb

Harddrive ~512GB SSD

Urgh now its freezing nonstop. I think i’m gonna try and install 4.23.2 to see if its just the version thats going wonky.
