When spawning an actor using the Spawn Actor From Class node that has a Set Replicates node in the construction script, the editor crashes upon attempting to run a dedicated server with 2 players.
Found in 4.10.4. Reproduced in 4.11 Preview 6 and Main CL 2884405.

1. Open the editor
2. Create a new actor blueprint
3. Give the blueprint a boolean variable that is public and expose on spawn.
4. In the construction script, put a Set Replicates node and connect your boolean variable to the In Replicates pin. (See Screenshot)
5. Compile & Save
6. In the level blueprint, place a Switch Has Authority->Spawn Actor From Class (Spawn the actor you created in step 2). Ensure to set your boolean variable to true on the Spawn Actor From Class node. (See Screenshot)
7. Compile
8. Hit the arrow next to the Play button and set number of players to 2
9. Set Run Dedicated Server to true.
10. Press Play
Result: Editor Crashes
Expected: No crash would occur.
