Hi,
We have a scene composed of procedural content (meshes placed at run-time) along with a sky light and directional light for dynamic lighting. Scene also includes a sphere reflection capture.
When r.DistanceFieldGI=1 is added to the project’s ConsoleVariables.ini file, the instance crashes upon loading the main level.
The error:
Fatal error: [File:D:\Build\++UE4+Release-4.12+Compile\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Windows\D3D11RHI\Private\D3D11Util.cpp] [Line: 176]

This crash occurs on both a NVidia GTX 980M, a NVidia GTX 980 and a Radeon R9 390 under the latest drivers.
Any help or fixes appreciated. Thanks.
Additional note: setting the shadow scalability setting to High resolves it. Setting it to Epic crashes.
