Niagara and Groom causes exception crash on Launch when using

Niagara and Groom causes exception crash on Launch when using

Description

Trying a Launch after every step shows that the problem occurs as soon as the GroomAssetSystem is added to Niagara. If the GroomAssetSystem is removed, the game launches fine (but the hair doesn't move since it doesn't have a particle system).

Steps to Reproduce

 

Download Project Sample.

[Link Removed]

  1. Test In PIE, observe the mannequin
  2. Exit PIE.
  3. Press Alt+Shift+P to Launch the project.

Result: Error message, please see full crash log.

Expected: Expected the game to run as it does when using PIE (Play in Editor)

 

  1. Create a new UE4 game, use the third person template, and in the next window leave these: blueprints game, desktop/console, high quality, raytracing disabled.
  2.  Open the config and set these: support compute skincache = true; tick animation on skeletal mesh init = false
  3.  Enable both groom plugins
  4. Import the included hair asset (set import to x rotation = 90, y rotation = 180)   [Link Removed]
  5. Place SK_Mannequin and hair in the scene and parent hair to SK_Mannequin's head bone (do not check the "bind groom to skeletal mesh" and leave the default material)
  6.  Add a Niagara particle system to hair's GroomComponent (inherited), and add GroomAssetSystem to Niagara system asset.
  7. Launch Game using Alt Shift P.

 

Result: Error message, please see full crash log.
