if I get time I will attempt to make a isolation sample in the next few days
what I’m doing is swapping out the foliage with actors at begin play, a technique I found off youtube - but isn’t ideal for my multiplayer environment so I was going to phase out this technique anyway.
this technique had 0 issues in 4.8-4.11, and its only the dedicated server that’s failing to start correctly - my single player windows and android client start up no problem.
