[CrashReport] ULevel::GetWorldSettings - UMaterialFunctionThumbnailRenderer::Draw

[CrashReport] ULevel::GetWorldSettings - UMaterialFunctionThumbnailRenderer::Draw

Description

This is a common crash that has occurred since at least 4.16.

The callstack is nearly identical to [Link Removed], which appears to be fixed in 4.18; and [Link Removed], which has not. The difference is that this callstack specifically references UMaterialFunctionThumbnailRenderer::Draw.

User Descriptions

  • I was in the materials editor. I had bit mask selected through the Left Click Search menu. To select the Bit Mask, I went to press "Enter"; on the numberpad, but accidently hit either the "3" key, or the "."
  • I cloned out a speed tree color variation node in a material.
  • Died when i tried to dublica lerp with ctrl-W. I am running with 4gb ram, might be why. Google chrome running in the background taking up 1gig ram

Steps to Reproduce

I believe this was fixed.
