Hi forum mods, it was initially working, but suddenly one day all my png images turned black during runtime, any suggestions would be helpful! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/9/95abb51708a29673cfd8f84e801276467d91cc36.jpeg) ---

Hi! I’m not able to replicate this issue, can you share the PNG file with me? ![Screenshot 2025-03-10 at 8.45.05 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/5/56ed7c02add610c32eff0e367e7f1097154ccae1.jpeg) ---

Hi, Our project has been having the same issue. I’ve attached the PNGs missing in the screenshot here, but it seems like all PNGs in the game are affected. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/5/5a3763bbacbfd6064f6a12614f12b83b4165653a.jpeg) ![recenter](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/7/7ef2d9dc0a6d86e98def996e83ff63037ea15abb.png) ![levelSelectForward](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/0/010919214105aebb6772614823d2eaf3f85dd0d9.png) ![levelNumberDisplay](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/c/c14727a1dadcd417da6e9788e1c3f58f34f67aec.png) ---

Can you try deleting the entities from the scene and re-adding them? Also, please make sure Live Sync is disabled. ---

I had to reimport the png and create a new entity, it works. However, when I add a second png image to the scene, the images become black again. ---

This is a known issue and the engineering team is looking into it. 🙂
