Description

Performing a hot reload on a project that contains an FStringAssetReference inside a struct results in a crash. This was reported to work fine in 4.6.1, but I was unable to verify that is the case.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new basic code project. Name the project TestHotReload.
  2. Unzip the attached Source folder.
    • Inside are Source and Content folders.
  3. Place the Source and Content folders into the new project so that they overwrite any existing source or content.
  4. Build the project in Visual Studio.
  5. Open the project in the Editor.
  6. Set the Global_sing asset as a game singleton
    • Edit -> Project Settings -> Engine -> General Settings -> Default Classes -> Game Singleton Class
  7. With the Editor still open, open the TestHotReloadGameMode.h file in Visual Studio.
  8. Uncomment the last line in the file: bool td;
  9. Click the Compile button in the Editor.

RESULT:
The Editor crashes while hot reloading.

EXPECTED:
The hot reload completes successfully.
