Hello, There are a few types of foliage that cause the editor to crash when I move them or manipulate them. All the other foliage types I have work perfectly, I just have the issue with a few types. When I select the problem types and try to move them the editor freezes then crashes after a few seconds. The foliage files are there and do reside in explorer. Thanks for any help you can provide! ---

Hi oxygencube, - Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project? - What steps have you taken to reproduce this on your end? - Can you post your crash logs and callstack here? The logs can be found at \Unreal Projects\PROJECTNAME\saved\logs. - What foliage assets specifically are causing this to occur? ---

Hi , **Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project?** This seems to occur only on one project. **What steps have you taken to reproduce this on your end?** I load my map and try to move certain foliage types using the selection tool or indirectly using the sculpt tool. **Can you post your crash logs and callstack here?** [Log](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2071787/SQUAD/oxy_foliage.log) **What foliage assets specifically are causing this to occur?** Pine\_Med\_02 Where are the positions of the foliage instances stored? In the type or the map? It looks like there is a miscommunication of data somewhere. ---

Is the asset a custom asset or one you got from the learn tab/marketplace? ---

It is a custom asset. I have tried replacing it with a different asset and the problem persists. The asset is working well as a foliage asset in other levels. I have a firm belief that there is a problem with the array or location data. ---

The second crash (sculpting landscape) is a known issue, UE-28926. I’m focusing more on the foliage selection, which I have not been able to reproduce. Do you see this occur with basic assets, such as the Editor cube? ---

Everything is working correct with 98% of our other assets so I would imagine that this would work correct with a basic asset as well. I have tried removing all instances of that foliage asset and repopulating them with the proc. foliage tool and I still get a crash when I try to move them individually. If I place them using the basic foliage painter then I am able to move them. I have tried creating a new foliage type with a different custom mesh and still get the crash. I created a foliage type with the engine cube and was able to move the instance. Some meshes I am able to move one at a time but if I select multiple and try to move them I crash. I spawned new foliage using same types, assets, and spawner on new map and am able to move single and multiple instances, but still get a crash when trying to sculpt terrain. Can you explain to me where the position for foliage instances is stored? The level file? The foliage type? As I looked into the known bug: UE-28926 I think they are related. If sculpting the terrain with foliage causes crashes… maybe it is trying to move the instances and throwing an error. Thus if I try to move them by hand it throws the same error. Try generating a handful of different types of foliage using proc. foliage spawner or then move a bunch of them around. ---

Hi oxygencube, Thank you for the additional information. This was reproduced internally and we have entered a bug report, UE-29242, to be assessed by the development staff.
