Description

When a SkeletalMeshComponent is restarted by calling in order of 
 SetSimulatePhysics and SetComponentTickEnabled, the TickComponent and EndPhysicsTick are executed simultaneously. As a result, the RequiredBones array is written and read at the same time.

See callstack for datail.

The cause is that the HighPriority flag of the PrimaryComponentTick is set at the TickComponent. The workaround is to pre-set this flag in RegisterComponentTickFunctions or similar.

void USkeletalMeshComponent::RegisterComponentTickFunctions(bool bRegister)
{
	Super::RegisterComponentTickFunctions(bRegister);

//workaround
	bool bDoHiPri = CVarHiPriSkinnedMeshesTicks.GetValueOnGameThread() > 0;
	if (PrimaryComponentTick.bHighPriority != bDoHiPri)
	{
		PrimaryComponentTick.SetPriorityIncludingPrerequisites(bDoHiPri);
	}
//workaround ends
	UpdateEndPhysicsTickRegisteredState();
	UpdateClothTickRegisteredState();
}

 

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Compile and launch attached project on 4.27 engine. [Link Removed]
  2. Start PIE and wait a while

Result:

Assertion failed occurs with log:

Assertion failed: (Index >= 0) & (Index < ArrayNum) [File:D:\dev\UnrealEngine-4.27.2\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Containers/Array.h] [Line: 703] 
Array index out of bounds: 11 from an array of size 68
