Hello, I was creating a landscape, I made moutains rivers and lake and I was about to add textures to my landscape. I was in the material folder and when I got back to my level viewport it was black.The viewport is black for all my others Unreal projects. I have deleted and downloaded UE5, restarted my pc, even made the last update for my GPU. Does anyone know how to solve this ? ---
