Hello, I created an blank Unreal Engine application in 5.3 and added the 5.3\_v.3.0.6 release of the Leia plugin. The project builds and I can run the project in a new editor window. This all runs as expected.

When I try to run the project in standalone game or as a packaged build I get a black screen. When I delete the plugin the project returns to normal. This is without adding any Leia components to the scene.

When I add a widget blueprint to the HUD I can see the UI that I created but the rest of the level is black.

How can I fix this issue?
