Hi I just downloaded the latest version 4.11 so I made a scene created a terrain applied some tessellated landscape material painted some foliage but when I sculpt the terrain where some foliage where painted it always crashes, sculpting the terrain works fine in the area where there are no foliage only in painted area.

Hi ,

- what specific sculpting tool were you using on the landscape or does this occur with any tool?
- What size landscape are you using?
- Are you spawning the foliage using a procedural foliage volume or painting using the foliage paint tool?

I was able to reproduce this on my end and have entered a bug report, UE-29052, to be assessed by the development staff.

We are running into this crash on 4.11.1 as well, and it has become a blocker for us. Are there any workarounds? Any chance the fix makes it into the next hotfix? Thanks!

Hi JohnRoger,

While there aren’t any known workarounds, this has already been fixed internally. I do not have a specific timeframe of when it will be made publicly available, but you can keep an eye out for hotfix and release notes in the [Announcements and Releases][1] section of the forums.
