UWorld::SetTimeUntilNextGarbageCollection

Updates the timer (as a one-off) that is used to trigger garbage collection; this should only be used for things like performance tests, using it recklessly can dramatically increase memory usage and cost of the eventual GC.

Linux

Deprecated

Use GEngine->SetTimeUntilNextGarbageCollection instead.

Remarks

Updates the timer (as a one-off) that is used to trigger garbage collection; this should only be used for things like performance tests, using it recklessly can dramatically increase memory usage and cost of the eventual GC.

Note: Things that force a GC will still force a GC after using this method (and they will also reset the timer)
