Hello there!
First off I have to say that I digged trough houndreds of pages and found nothing (except of a fact, that it might be UE4 bug that is not resolved - yet no workaround can be found).
Game works without ANY problems in editor and both - debug/development versions. Issue occurs only with Shipping version.
We are using around 20 textures of scanned files (only one displayed at a time). Unreal randomly turns some of them into white blanks. Every time different textures are displayed correctly, so they are packed in a build. What is worse, when we save the game and load it - for a while all images are working correctly. After a while, when more textures are available, random “blanking” starts again.
From our debug appears that these specific textures are becoming nulls for UMG, while on 3D mesh in front of our player we can see texture very clearly working…
Just to prove that it’s not related to our game mechanic we made simple test. We put all 20 textures into canvas (no mechanic related, simple drag and drop images from content browser). Played for a few minutes, turned hud on and bang - random images got white. Every time we restart the game different images are blanked.
Any idea? We are close to remove this feature from our game, will appreciate any help
Regards,
Artur
PS- was testing with texture compression/streaming/import settings for a week
