Perspective view black in all viewmodes (in all levels )

Hi,

I moved my question here from bug report.
My complete project went black, and I can’t really find a solution.
The viewport is completely black, and doesn’t show anything (not even the grid).
If I package the same thing happens.

The only way I can see anything is to use the orthographic views, in
the perspective view all viewmodes went black.

I didn’t change anything before this problem occured, I believe it happened when I put the editor in the background.
I rebuild the lighting, restarted the editor and restarted my PC. New video drivers were installed yesterday or the day before.

Does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

EDIT:
My project works again. I didn’t do anything at all to repair it, it just started like it should again.
My guess is it was a bug, so maybe this can be reported?

Thanks!

Hi BdeJong,

Glad to hear you are up and running again. There have been some issue related to Nvidia drivers. If you experience this issue again, please report it on this thread at which point I’ll ask you for some additional information about your system in order to be able to submit an official bug report.

Thanks!

Hi ,

In order to help us troubleshoot your issue, please provide your DXDIAG: (Windows Start Button>(search “dxdiag”)>Launch dxdiag>select “Save all information”>attach text file to your post.)

Also if you are using an Nvidia GPU, please make sure you are running the latest drivers 10/25/2015

Here it is ty for your help.
I read this post about 5-6 hours ago tryed to update the drivers but i still had the problem.

Looking at your dxdiag, your system’s Card name is: “Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000” which is below the recommended GPU specs located here: Häufig gestellte Fragen - Unreal Engine

You may still be able to use the engine, but there have been a few issues related to that specific card.

Right click on your desktop to and select your Nvidia Control Panel, then Select “Manage 3D Settings” > Program Settings > Add > Unreal Engine as shown here:

Hi ,

Thanks for providing screenshots of the issue. Now that you’ve added Unreal Engine with your Nvidia control panel, can you send another DXDiag while you have the editor running. This will show us if your Nvidia card is actually running while the editor is open. (This is something easy you can do before trying to reinstall Windows.)

Lucky i just managed to make bootable usb but didnt format my pc XD.
Maybe im the problem coz i just saw that with light i can see the object but its strange that i cant see it without lights.

Yes, you must have a light present to see anything in your level. It hadn’t occurred to me that you did not have a light present. So, make sure you always have a light source in your level and if you continue to have problems, you can post on this thread.

Thanks

Than why in this case there is no light and i can still see the objects but when i save it and open it again i cant see the elements.

If you start a new level without any lights your view port will default to unlit mode as shown here:

just go to viewport—> viewmode—> unlit. problem solved :slight_smile:

I don’t have the option to add Unreal Engine to my Nvidia 3d settings. My GPU is a GTX 1050 Ti

I also just had my perspective window go black, even though I can see my work in the other views…
Thanks for any help!

Hey,

I know it been a long time, but already I have this problem… On all the maps of my project, the perspective view is black, exept the sun…
At first my computer was working slowly. So I restarted it, and that bug appear…

Help me please ;(

Thanks!

I have the same issue. I have a GE force RTX 2060. I shut the computer down as usual last night. Started it up today and the view port is black.

Only one view port has this issue.
When I go into Orthograpic mode everything is visible.
I am using UE4 4.26.2

Any idea’s?

Issue solved.

Select your mesh and press the ‘F’ key to center it that will bring everything back (it did for me), not sure why this is as I did not zoom out at all.
