[BUG] 4.12.1 Crash on Level Load

Hello,

from 4.7 up till 4.12.1 (I didn’t upgrade to 4.12), I didn’t have a problem with this but now the engine keeps crashing while loading a new level.

Tracing it down, it boils down to a scene, where my actor pushes open a gate and a new level loads.

The crash happens with “read access violation - this was nullptr” in SkeletalMeshComponent.cpp

method:

void USkeletalMeshComponent::ApplyAnimationCurvesToComponent(const TMap* InMaterialParameterCurves, const TMap* InAnimationMorphCurves)

Line:
if (SkeletalMesh && InAnimationMorphCurves && InAnimationMorphCurves->Num() > 0)

If I don’t load level, it doesn’t crash so it might be connected to level unloading.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thank you,

Jan

OK. The bug was elsewhere. The crash happens when I change animation Blueprint for a skeleton and don’t put a delay (!) Delay 0.1 fixed this. I have to come with a more clean solution (like catching when the change actually happened). So while this crash-wise is also new behavior, open level is innocent.
