Hello, I’m not 100% on what the issue is, but this is where I most likely think the issue lies at this point.
I have a tether based on a bunch of a bunch of capsules attached with physical constraints created dynamically. the tether can merge, split and resize the capsules to minimize the resolution without minimizing quality. Anyways, it seems to me that when we destroy components (usually constraints), we get an array out of bounds error from UnbindEdgesFromNodes. Since I’m seeing Chaos, and the crash usually occurs at random while I’m moving the tether, I would guess there is some conflict or race condition in the physics thread.
I tried disabling the Merge and split functions, and well.. the crash is because of performance issues rather than chaos at least.. Can’t tell for sure if it means that the issue lies in the destruction/edit part, but it might indicate so since I got further than average.
I understood this to be that Chaos has marked the physical constraint for destruction, then I override/remove the reference from my tether array. If I do so, it probably creates a race condition whether chaos or garbage collection is getting to the component first. I tried to create a scheduler list so that I can postpone the destruction one tick to let Chaos complete the BreakConstraints() first, but the issue is still there.
I’m a bit lost what this could be. Does anyone have any experience with this? Left the first few lines of the Callstack here in case it helps.
