Description

PxShapes are created with a ref count of 1, and it is up to the caller to decrement this once the shape has been attached to an actor. There are a handful of places in the code in which this doesn't happen, leading to memory leaks.

Steps to Reproduce
  • Add the following in TermGamePhys() in PhysLevel.cpp, after if (GPhysXSDK != NULL) {
    uint32 shapes = GPhysXSDK->getNbShapes();
    UE_LOG(LogPhysics, Warning, TEXT("Physics was terminated with %d shapes remaining"), shapes);
  • create a new blank c++ project with no starter content
  • run development editor
  • create a landscape object with the default settings
  • shutdown UE4
    -> LogPhysics:Warning: Physics was terminated with 384 shapes remaining
    expect 0 shapes remaining
