Unload Stream Level will not remove blueprint spawned objects

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

When using Unload Stream Level, any actors that are spawned by using blueprints are not removed. For example,

The game starts and loads stream level 1 from persistent level.
A blueprint spawns an actor into the level.

Then Unload stream level is used to remove level 1 and then level 2 is loaded.

When returning to level 1, there are now two actors spawned in the level. The previously spawned actor was not destroyed upon Unload Stream Level.

Hi Matthew119,

This was reported a while back and was logged as JIRA UE-40515. It was determined to be By Design by the developer. Spawned actors will always spawn to the persistent level.

Cheers,

TJ

It appears I am having this same bug on 4.15 as well.

this is a bug ? Will epic solve it?

This behaviour is causing me trouble too.
I am using Level Streaming to pre-load maps instead of extending a map/environment with new sections and in my case the current behaviour is un-helpful.

It would be great if there was a separate way to pre-load maps, to speed up location/level switches without using Level Streaming since it does not seem to be designed for that.
