I’m having the same issue as you – even in the Material Editor, the Virtual Texture Thumbnail isn’t displaying properly.

Same issue here. The only things that comes close to a solution is to reimport with a new file; but this is way too time consuming project wide. Makes 5.6 pretty much unusable in my case.

In my case, this bug is affecting the associated materials and preventing the virtual textures from displaying properly.

I am having this issue too. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. Right now Unreal Engine 5.6 is useless to me… and this has clearly been an issue for a few months now. Is there any fix yet for this that anyone knows about plesae?

Thanks in advance!

Hopefully, we can get a fix in 5.6.1, but there’s no other information available out there.

5.6.1. installed and the issue persists. Thought I was going crazy.

Opening the asset refreshes the other thumbnails and overwrites

WOOOSH!

Ah. That is frustrating! :face_exhaling:
