Despite improvements made to PBR texture loading with Ray Tracing in the latest preview, this issue remains persistent in build 1.21.100.23
If ray tracing is enabled while inside a world, it triggers another bug that makes the world glossy.
Either that must be fixed, or this issue, otherwise enabling ray tracing is a convoluted mess requiring multiple steps just to get it working right.
Can confirm this is still an issue as of preview version 1.21.100.21.
