I am having an issue where my foliage textures/colors are all washed out when I have Vulkan set to default instead of DirectX12. Heres a picture of the tree beforehand, and the tree after, just in the asset viewer.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Edit:  
The tree doesn’t look washed out in vulkan if I turn Nanite off though, forgot to add that.

Can confirm, that issue still exists in 5.3.2, on both Linux and Windows (when using Vulkan).

@Ulrich.Thummler’s workaround helps - thanks a lot, you’re a great magician! 🧙
