Description

From licensee:

We've recently encountered an issue where BeginPlay was called on an Actor while the World is being torn down. This seems to stem from flushing level streaming while it has levels that need to be made visible.

Steps to Reproduce

To repro this, you need a world with a lot of level instances and you could add "ensure(!GetWorld()->bIsTearingDown)" to BeginPlay of some of the actors to help catch it:

  • Start PIE as Client. (Should be able to repro it in Standalone but I haven't tried it yet)
  • Run/fly around to cause level streaming to update.
  • End PIE or close the editor, without waiting in one place for too long so level streaming hasn't fully caught up yet.
