Crash on play if a BP manipulates a InstancedStaticMeshComponent by using a ClearInstances node followed by an AddInstance node.
This is a blocker for the licensee.
This is a regression:
Working in 4.16.2-35114769
Not working in 4.17.0 Preview 1-3528061
Crash reporter: [Link Removed]
Crash reporter callstack links to [Link Removed] as well (https://jira.it.epicgames.net/browse/UE-46263); however, the repo in this JIRA will reproduce after the fix for [Link Removed] went in.
Licensee Description:
We noticed a 100% render thread crash (Unknown RHI vertex element type) since we upgrade to 4.17 preview 1
The crash is caused by ClearInstances followed by AddInstance on the InstancedStaticMeshComponent.
I've attached a sample project so you can investigate.
Currently this is a blocker for us so please advise how to fix it, thanks!
Results: The editor will crash immediately on play
