MOTDRequest crash on loading a level

[shiftycats]

Describe the bug The game sometimes crashes after loading a map in Practice mode. The crash log suggests that somewhere in the UI code there's an actor instance stored inside an object, which is known to cause troubles.

To Reproduce

1. Set the game to run in windowed mode (might be optional).
2. Launch DarkestHourDev.bat and immediately minimize it.
3. Wait for the game load in the background.
4. Go to Practice menu and launch Target Range.
5. Keep the game window on top while the map is loading.
