No matter how i import into Unreal 5, My thumbnails are broken(No Picture) Many Times it seems that the materials are not coming in correct, even from Megascans… This also seems to be freezing up my editors when i try to open almost anything.
Any advice?
Hi there, check you inport file size it may be too big. I sometimes find this can cause some of these problems that you are having. Not sure if you are using FBX but make sure you import settings are right. EG inport materials and textures are on. Make sure you don’t have to many faces on your models. Also make sure you hard ware is updated. Not having thumbnails can mean that the models are doing someting in the background and that might be what is causing the lag. Hope that helped. One last thing make sure your file is not is not damaged. If so re-export it from your software.
Thank you for the reply, Im having the issue even after a reinstall of Unreal 5, Nothing is in project yet, Try to export from megascans, No thumbnails, if i right click on it, it will sometimes update with the picture, often causing a crash if i do to many thumbnails, It is also crashing a lot when i try to export from megascans, Unreal 5 will just crash. Im having no issues with Unreal 4.27
In the UE5 editor, select the entire folder containing your assets and select ‘Validate Assets in Folder’. This is a workaround I use and is better than other workaround I’ve seen, which are to open all of the assets. That could take a long time.
Hopefully this issue gets addressed.

Thanks for this tip! A shame you have to re-validate every time you open your project though. But at least I can work with this
