1. Open UE4Editor (any project)
2. Create two new levels
3. With Level1 as the current level, go to Window->Levels
4. Drag Level2 from content browser to Levels list to add it below Persistent Level
5. Open Level Blueprint for Level1 and add call to Open Level Node set to Level2.
6. Play in Editor and use call to Open Level

Result:
When used in blueprint Editor crashes with callstack shown. When used through code Editor hangs after call to Open Level is made.

Expected:
Open Level command jumps to the specified level name when called.
