Summary
Whether in Editor and Private Version, server consistently crashes several minutes after Verse is used to create a temporary instance of material with a parameter, and assign it to a temporary prop.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Stability
Steps to Reproduce
-
In Editor, create a Material that has a Material Parameter node, e.g.
M_Testwith a parameter namedOpacity -
In Verse, create an instance of this material, e.g.
Material := M_Test_material { Opacity := 0.1 }
Do not store this instance on the device.
- Assign this material to temporary spawned prop
(Not sure if this is required to reproduce, haven’t tried without this):
Prop := SpawnProp(...) # Any asset
Prop.SetMaterial(Material)
Prop.Dispose()
- Run your game
- Wait 3-10 minutes (after material was used).

Additional Notes
If created Material instance is saved on the device (e.g. set Self.SavedMaterial = Material), then the crash does not happen.
I assume that crash might be related to server garbage collection (when material instance is collected), which would explain why timing is a bit random (3-10 minutes), and why it does not happen if material lifetime is extended by storing the instance.
