Summary

NVSDK_NGX_VULKAN is cycling around 5 billion and causing UEFN to freeze every 5 seconds.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Open a map.
  • Start a session.
  • Alternate between game view and editor a couple of times.
  • After 20 minutes or so, you will notice editor starts to freeze every 5 seconds.

Expected Result

Editor runs smoothly without freeze.

Observed Result

I noticed this before update 29.00. My UEFN started to freeze after a couple of minutes of editing. I thought it was the project size, but a coworker removed a lot of buildings and the editor kept freezing.

Platform(s)

windows

Additional Notes

I ran Process Explorer to see what threads were running at UEFN process and could saw NVSDK_NGX_VULKAN had reached more than 5 billion cycles in around 20 minutes. I suspect it can be the cause of that behavior.
