Hello everyone!

I have met the strange behavior: if electra player is enabled and a scene contains something to play (e.g. a material with sampling from media player), start the engine with the flag -AttachPIX, run PIE, then the engine just fill freeze forever. All threads will stuck in FEvent::Wait:

It really annoys, because blocks the an opportunity to take a capture from a build.

Hi there,

This was caused by a PIX issue that could cause deadlock during resource destruction (see PIX 2509.25 patch notes here). To fix this, simply upgrade to the latest version of PIX.
