Description

Unreal’s default Construction Script has differing behavior during Play in Editor than Packaged builds. In Packaged Builds, all Construction Scripts are executed at run-time, which can create large frame 1 spikes while loading a level if there are a lot of placed actors with custom construction script setup.
