We are experiencing a persistent crash in Physx code when spawning multiple actors in this version of Unreal. It also happens sometimes when moving actors as well. To be more specific we are spawning lots of characters controlled by AIControllers. Slowly adding characters over time, instead of spawning them in one big chunk just means the crash takes longer to happen. We’ve experimented with turning off as much collision as we can on our character, but it doesn’t seem to improve our chances of not encountering the crash.
Below is a paste of the callstack we get on windows. I couldn’t figure out how to format it correctly, sorry.
Access violation - code c0000005 (first/second chance not available)
