Hi folks:

Just getting back into UE5 after doing a couple of VR projects a few years ago in UE4. I’ve been working on a test project to try out using some of my mocap data with metahumans. My project had a crash yesterday, and when I get into the project, or even try to create new projects from the third person templates, My level scene screen window is completely black (including when I play the level):

I can open windows from the content drawer and see them just fine:

I tried some of the fixes here on this post, but they didn’t help (I suspect because I’m on Ubuntu 22.04 linux and the Nvidia drivers are a different beast):

My whole screen went black when I opened my project Rendering

When I opened my Unreal project, my screen which normally shows my scene where I build was pitch black. I couldn’t see anything from my game. The whole screen was black and I fear that I won’t be able to get my game back even though I saved. This has happened to me before, causing me to create a new project which was this one. Is there a fix so that I can get my screen back to normal and continue working? I will attach an image. [281608-screen-shot-2019-07-05-at-90032-pm-2.jpg]

Any ideas of what is going on/how to fix it?

Thanks, Michael
