Rising up some of the log categories to ‘All’ gives unexpected results when I try to package a project, you can find more description below.

When I change log categories in `DefaultEngine.ini` to:

```auto
[Core.Log]
LogCheckComponents=All
LogCheckSubobjects=All

```

I receive project packaging errors:

```auto

```

Also the same errors are met in the editor console:

 ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/1/f/71f20a0131dbe0d73efc86083fc3125b9fd0e372.png)  
It seems that `AActor::CheckActorComponents() const` is producing such error inside the following checks scope:

```cpp
UObject* Archetype = Inner->GetArchetype();
if (Archetype != Inner->GetClass()->GetDefaultObject())
{
	if (Archetype != GetClass()->GetDefaultSubobjectByName(Inner->GetFName()))
	{
		UE_LOG(LogCheckComponents, Error, TEXT("SerializedComponent archetype is not the CDO nor a default subobject of my class. Me = %s, Component = %s, Archetype = %s"), *this->GetFullName(), *Inner->GetFullName(), *Archetype->GetFullName());
		bResult = false;
	}
}

```

Any suggestions how can I resolve this issue, and stay at necessary log level?, cause this happens with any `BP` with parent `Actor` class which I placed into the level.
