Suddenly the screen goes black

[oneadone]

yesterday, when i learned something about ENV. lighting mixer on youtube the screen suddenlly went all black when i tried the lighting mixer the second time.

before that, i toggled “support hardware ray tracing” & “use hardware ray tracing when available” in project settings. i thought it may be related to my graphics driver not being updated, but it still hasn’t been solved after the update.

today, i wanna try it again so i start a new project. but it is still black when i open it, as shown in the following screenshot.

version: UE 5.0.3/win 11/rtx 3050

thx for all the advice

It’s just a little bug in the editor to do with opening, closing and repositioning windows…
