Description

Crash occurs in FGPUBaseSkinVertexFactory::FShaderDataType::UpdateBoneData() on RenderThread2 at the following line:

check(NumBones <= MaxGPUSkinBones);

The problem seems to be a race condition on the return value from BoneMap.Num() which is assigned to NumBones.

If is replaced with a wait loop such as

while(NumBones > MaxGPUSkinBones)

{ FPlatformProcess::Sleep(0.5f); NumBones = BoneMap.Num(); }

The value will eventually become correct and proceed as expected, demonstrating that BoneMap.Num() is may not be valid at the start of the function, but will become valid at some point.

Steps to Reproduce

The repro steps are unclear, but addressing the thread safety of the BoneMap should be sufficient to resolve the issue.
This event repros for the original reporter "50% of the time on PSVR" [but not on PC].
