Description

User reports hitting an assertion due to invalid FTickTaskManager state when game is attempting to unregister a tick function that was previously disabled dynamically.

Failed assertion is in FTickTaskLevel::RemoveTickFunction(), in the 'FTickFunction::ETickState::Enabled' case:

else
{
	verify(AllEnabledTickFunctions.Remove(TickFunction) == 1); // otherwise you changed TickState while the tick function was registered. Call SetTickFunctionEnable instead.
}
Steps to Reproduce
  1. Launch the editor and open the project contained in the attached archive (it's a 4.18 project, so choose to open a copy in later versions of the editor).
  2. Double-click the 'TickTestMap' asset to open it.
  3. PIE, and wait for the "Disabled Tick" message to appear in the log/console.
  4. Press ESC (or click Stop) to attempt to exit PIE. A crash will result due to a failed assertion:
