Weird Video error

I recently updates my video card drivers (2060 ti) to the latest Nov.9th ones. Then at night I deleted a folder in unreal engine, and I hit fix up re-directors and it went for about 2 min and then said fixed up. My texture pooling stream was too high (because Ue4 had the old textures cached) so I restarted to fix the issue. Then when I looked at my project it was all messed up Screen capture - d99c00c0014d2b8479131259d5ef6c7f - Gyazo (Click to view video) I am scared that it has just messed up my 4 year project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Btw my project files (Textures, models, maps, code) are all still there just the visuals are messed up or hidden.

Firstly, if you haven’t done this in four years, you need to start NOW. Backup your project. Seriously. It takes a little bit of time to learn, but it is so ridiculously important. You don’t want to lose everything you achieved for four years, yes? Perforce is free for solo developers and is an amazing tool for version control as well and it works super well with UE4.

Now, I noticed you are in unlit mode… that’s probably your problem as unlit mode looks hecka weird when you first see it. Go to the tab at the top that says “unlit,” click it and switch to “lit.” You can also press F3 I think.


If this isn’t what you are talking about, then I would try the following:

  1. Restart your computer and UE4 (sounds stupid but this has fixed glitches for me); hopefully you already tried this
  2. Backup your project now if it isn’t already backed up
  3. Uninstall your current engine version and reinstall the engine through epic games launcher

Thank you mmmmGoodDinner, I have been backing it up but the backup was about 1 month old at the time, I figured that if their was an easy fix I would take it instead of pushing the deadline back even more. I fixed it by using the backups dir’s everything but the actual content. It worked great but now that I know I can just uninstall and reinstall the engine that is a much better solution. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to respond. Cheers, BiTz
