Description

This buffer overrun is probably caused by the ExportParticleDataToBlueprint module does not respecting the GPUAllocation Fixed Size setting in the module.

In fact, out-of-range export data is not correct.

 Following workaround works.

const uint32 ReadbackInstanceCount = FMath::Min(*reinterpret_cast<uint32*>(Buffers[0].Key), MaxInstances);

 

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open attached repro project [Link Removed] on ue4.26
  2. Start PIE (If it doesn't come up, restart PIE several times)
  3. Engine crash (see call stack below)
