From licensee:
The issue here starts in FVoxelizeMeshMerging::ProxyLOD() where the FlattenMaterial created using FMaterialUtilities::CreateFlattenMaterialWithSettings() returns an empty struct. I don't see any validations done in subsequent code which checks for the FlattenMaterial struct being valid.
Later in the same function, provided the simplified mesh can GenerateUVs, we get bProxyGenerationSuccess being left as true, which then leads to calling a ProcessComplete delegate leading to pipelining this set of data in FProxyGenerationProcessor::ProxyGenerationComplete().
This data is later used in FMaterialUtilities::CreateFlattenMaterialInstance() where the FlattenMaterial struct, which is still essentially empty, is used without any validations. This leads to a crash with unsafe access where an Empty array's zeroth element is directly getting accessed.
Create a World Partitioned map with an HLOD Layer whose Layer Type is set to Simplified. Under ProxySettings > MaterialSettings > TextureSizingType, set it to TextureSizingType_AutomaticFromMeshDrawDistance. Ensure you have meshes in the world where the simplified mesh CAN generate UVs (as in the attached project).
