Not seeing this discussed anywhere on the internet - Black texture bug in Forge?

So I’m trying to finish my map but every time I use the Halo block out kit (forget the name) and use the regular pieces (not the MP ones) all my pieces turn black? Like the textures completely disappear and I can’t see anything to continue working on it. Has anyone else had this issue?

Granted, I’m playing on my laptop with all the settings as low as they can go. So maybe I have to up the texture quality? It’s extremely annoying:

I’ve seen the black textures on my Xbox One X trying to forge with rocks. Sometimes it pops in though after awhile. I’m not sure what’s going on with it either.

It appears to happen after a chain of texture changes to a selected prop. I’ve had this happen to at least one item from every drop down menu that can be colored, and almost nothing but waiting fixes it.

Deleting the prop and redoing it works, but this is more than annoying.

What I haven’t tried is: hit duplicate with the color-corupted prop and see if either prop is returned to the desired color/design.

I play on an xbox one s and i have this problem too. About 1/3 of my objects have that weird black color/texture on them. It really messes with my experience as i cant see what my stuff LOOKS like.
343?

Also having this issue. Sometimes everything gets fixed when scrolling thru the forge menu but then breaks again.

I’m having this same glitch with all the objects on the map turning black but it happens no matter what objects i add. I have not found a fix yet so I’m just going to wait for 343 to fix it ig.

I’ve had this issue as well where the majority of the textures on the assets turn black, duplicating one then deleting it fixes the problem for about a minute then it’ll reappear. Kind of annoying when trying to build up my map and I can’t see anything because everything’s turned black.

Same thing happen to me on PC with RTX 3080…

Yeah I’ve got the same issue, I’m not sure why it happens but they sometimes it would switch back and forth really quick. It’s a pretty annoying bug.

Ive also had a issue where ive placed the tarped crates and the tarp is not rendering as well some peices wont even load in when im looking through my object list they are just blacked out shapes

I had the issue a couple of days a go. The walkway across the canyon ( 2 of them ). Both of them went a really shiney Black! I had to change it back to my orig. color!

Peace! :fist_right: :fist_left:

Same problem. Happens in every forge session. On xbox one. Maybe an upgrade to a newer console would help? If I delete a random object then undo that fixes the black rendering issue for seconds or sometimes a minute or two but it’s pretty constant and has made forging unworkable for me. That’s just one of many bugs I’ve found.

Damn, no updates on this, huh? I just loaded into my map after doing a lot of work on it yesterday and now half the textures are black. I tried exiting and reloading and that did not fix it.
