Why Leadwerks 5 shows nothing in the viewers?

[Russell]

Hello team,

Leadwerks finally updated to version 5 on Steam today.

But when I opened it to familiarize myself with the tool, nothing loads/shows in the viewers.

I've tried "verifying file integrity in Steam" and uninstalling and reinstalling Leadwerks, but nothing works for me.

This situation applies to both new projects and imported projects.

Is there anything I can try to get it working?

Many thanks.

Team, I've done more testing...

If I create a blank project or a first-person shooter project, the viewers work fine in Leadwerks 5.

But if I try to import a project, like my FotoMuseo 3D game (made on Leadwerks 4.6), it doesn't work in the new Leadwerks 5.

So I used the Betas tab to temporarily revert to Leadwerks version 4.6.

I don't know if it's possible to import projects from previous versions of Leadwerks without encountering errors or losing data. Is it possible? Or do I need to take some preliminary steps to convert the project previously?

Leadwerks 5 can load model, texture, and map files from Leadwerks 4, but the API and shaders have changed a lot and it can't load a full Leadwerks 4 project.

If you need 4.6 it's still available:
