Did 5.2.1 change SetOverlayMaterial? Getting error since update...

If the object you are setting the overlay on has been changed in some ways, you might need to reset it first.

I don’t know if you are using bp or c++, but this is what I have. It runs a lot of checks, but essentially ensures I will never have a crash. Should also be easy to replicate in BP.

void ADungeonBuilding::Highlight(const bool Highlight)
{
	if (Highlight)
	{
		if (OverlayMat->IsValidLowLevel())
		{
			if (!IsValid(BuildingMesh))
			{
				TArray<UStaticMeshComponent*> StaticMeshItems;
				GetComponents(StaticMeshItems);

				if (!StaticMeshItems.IsEmpty())
				{
					BuildingMesh = StaticMeshItems[0];
					BuildingMesh->SetIsReplicated(true);
				}
				else
				{
					UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("DungeonBuilding::Highlight -> No mesh was found!"));
					return;
				}

			}

			BuildingMesh->SetOverlayMaterial(OverlayMat);
		}
		else
		{
			UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("DungeonBuilding::Highlight -> No overlay material was found!"));
		}
	}
	else
	{
		if (IsValid(BuildingMesh))
		{
			if (EmptyOverlayMat->IsValidLowLevel())
			{
				BuildingMesh->SetOverlayMaterial(EmptyOverlayMat);
			}
			else
			{
				UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("DungeonBuilding::Highlight -> No EmptyOverlayMat found on deselect! (1)"));
			}
		}
		else
		{
			BuildingMesh = GetComponentByClass<UStaticMeshComponent>();
			if (IsValid(BuildingMesh))
			{
				BuildingMesh->SetIsReplicated(true);

				if (EmptyOverlayMat->IsValidLowLevel())
				{
					BuildingMesh->SetOverlayMaterial(EmptyOverlayMat);
				}
				else
				{
					UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("DungeonBuilding::Highlight -> No EmptyOverlayMat found on deselect! (2)"));
				}
			}
			else
			{
				UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("DungeonBuilding::Highlight -> No mesh found on deselect!"));
			}
		}
		
	}
}
