We have the same issue:

Visual bugs, verse texture block

We are seeing the same thing. We have a single texture_block that is used for a countdown. When we change the image every second using SetImage, we see a white flash for a frame or two before seeing the actual texture image. Other Verse UI texture_blocks also have this white flash the first time they are shown. It seems like after a Verse texture is loaded into memory, aka shown in the UI for the first time, we no longer see white flashes when changing to that texture. But, if we remove the…

Did you ever find a work around? Surely theres no way you posted about this in september and nothing has been done on epics side…

My work around is to hide the SetImage change, but that only covers up the white flash, there is still a slight blink of it being hidden.

NoWhiteFlashChangeImage(TB:texture_block, Img:texture)<suspends>:void=
{
    # Hide texture_block
    TB.SetVisibility(widget_visibility.Hidden)
    # wait a frame
    Sleep(0.0)
    # change image
    TB.SetImage(Img)
    # wait a frame
    Sleep(0.0)
    # show texture_block
    TB.SetVisibility(widget_visibility.Visible)
}

And yes Epic can take forever on some bugs. There are many bugs that have been repeatedly reported for months that are still not fixed. Its a matter of priority for Epic, so major bugs will get addressed first, but unfortunately smaller bugs get pushed down the road or forgotten.
