Description
When I move out of my test region with PBR terrain materials, and then come back, the PBR terrain reverts to default.
Reproduction steps
- Go to a region where you can change the terrain
- Go to World -> Region/Estate -> Terrain
- Check the "PBR Metallic Roughness" box
- Change the first material to something obvious (I chose Brick). Press OK then Apply.
- Log out
- Log back in
- Cross to a neighbor region or teleport away.
- Return to the original region.
Result:
The PBR Material reverts back to default (grey)
Expected:
The PBR Material is still visible on the terrain.
