User reported encountering a deadlock between GameThread and AsyncLoadingThread and provided two callstacks.
I've been running into a deadlock intermittently with a custom blueprint console command that causes a freeze.
The command involves spawning objects and getting data from TSoftObjectPtrs to some DataAssets. This involves a LoadSynchronous() on the TSoftObjectPtr.
The deadlock seems to occur from the GameThread acquiring the lock for FUObjectArray->ObjObjectsCritical, and then getting to FAsyncLoadingThread::FlushLoading(int) where it begins to wait. Meanwhile, the FAsyncLoadingThread attempts to lock ObjObjectsCritical with FUObjectArray::LockInternalArray, therefore getting stuck where FAsyncLoadingThread is waiting to lock ObjObjectsCritical while the GameThread is waiting for FAsyncLoadingThread to finish.
