Our project plays correctly in the editor and stand alone and when we cook it with fully nativized blueprints it succeeds with 0 errors and 0 warnings. Unfortunately playing the built game crashes with the following stack:

It seems to be an issue with a table being loaded from C++ that contains an actor that contains a widget component. Luckily we were able to make a pretty simple test project that reproduces the issue. It did not happen in 4.16. The test project to show this issue off got to be 500 mb so here is a 3rd party url.
