I am also having this same issue. I'm running on Pop!_OS, 64 bit. I hope this gets a fix soon.

Can anyone confirm that the article https://godotengine.org/article/atlas-support-returns-godot-3-2 works for them, and what operating system/Godot version they're using? I assume this feature was tested and working at some point?

@Giwayume I'll try older versions in the weekend because it's not working for me on 3.2.1

I also might have time to look into the source code in a week or two.

I'm using Windows 64-bit. It looks like the feature works perfectly fine in 3.2, but not in 3.2.1. I REALLY hope this gets fixed, because it's unbelievable how easy it is to use.

I'm also having this problem 3.2.1 doesn't work. Using Windows 64-bit.

Could someone try to bisect the regression to see when it broke exactly? Also, try 3.2.1rc2 and 3.2.1rc1 to narrow the range of commits that need to be built to bisect the regression.

I think this was fixed in 3.2.2 beta already. Please try https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-3-2-2-beta-3

Duplicate of #36976 (please comment if your tests show otherwise).

I can confirm this is fixed on 3.2.2 beta 3

Will this fix texture array creation option from the same place as this failed too?

[asheraryam]

@chucklepie I didn't try that and I am not sure what you mean, but I guess you can download the beta from the website and make sure.

Import as atlas works in beta. What I meant by the texture array is I presumed the import option 'texture array' would create a sprite sheet out of selected graphics, but I guess not.

Doesn't help when you read the manual there is absolutely nothing on the 'import as...' options...

or here

It completely skips what any of the import as options are or what they do.
