Verse class/device instances breaking

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Verse

Summary

Something breaks all the verse class instances/references. Once it happens you can’t revert it and you just need to replace all verse devices and reconfigure them all.

This time my issue started when I had a Script error 9000 due to a linker loop, I reverted the changes I made (which was just a few lines, nothing to do with class naming or anything). After reverting this change I fell into the bug report issue.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create linker loop error
  2. Try to build (fail)
  3. Revert error cause
  4. Try to build (causes bug report issue)

Expected Result

Class instances don’t break.

Observed Result

Class instances all break and require devices to be re-configured.

Platform(s)

windows

Additional Notes

Other ways can cause this issue, such as moving class files around (even though the classes still exist).

Closing and opening UEFN seems to fix the class reference errors, however all the devices now have their references cleared.
