Editor Render View Turns White in 3D Perspective

[Leag]

I've noticed a bug: when switching to 3D perspective in the editor render view, the display turns completely white. It happens consistently.

Hmmmm, have you tried this in 0.9.2? It's available on the development branch.

[Leag]

Yeah, I tried it in 0.9.2, and unfortunately, the issue persists.

This is strange. What GPU do you have? The first thing I recommend doing is updating your graphics driver to the latest the vendor provides.

I'm using the Steam version of Ultra Engine with an NVIDIA RTX 3060, and my drivers are up to date. I believe the issue is related to viewport updating—it doesn't refresh automatically. For instance, when I receive a message, it remains there until I manually click or switch the viewport.

Okay, I might be able to order the same card and try it out on my machine.

Interesting. I also have a 3060 and I never got this. However, I don't religiously update my driver's like I should.

@Leag Is this Windows 10 or 11?

The bug tends to occur when I switch from top/back/left views to the 3D view. Moving the viewport manually seems to trigger the update, and the white background disappears. It seems like there might be an issue with updating or refreshing.

Windows 11

I just tried this too and get the same bug.  I tried the other 3 viewports as well.  Switching from their default view to another ortho view doesn't do it.   Even switching from ortho to perspective doesn't do it.   But if the viewport has been perspective at some point, switching to perspective again at some point makes the viewport white.  Actually in my case black but then white when I click inside it.

I have GTX 980 TI + Windows 10.

That actually sounds like it is probably some kind of logical error rather than a rendering issue, like maybe I left an extra camera active or something. The viewports actually each use several cameras to rendering the scene, grid, and selection outline, so it could be easy to make a small mistake there.

I tested the other three viewports as well, and switching to the 3D viewport doesn't turn them white. However, the issue seems to be exclusive to the 3D viewport—changing it to top/back/right/left, and then switching back to 3D, triggers the white background.

In the other 3 viewports did you try switching back and forth between 3D at least twice?  That did it for me.  Default -> 3D -> Front -> 3D = white.

Yeah, you're right. It indeed turns white when switching back and forth between 3D views. Default -> 3D -> Front -> 3D triggers the issue for me as well.
