bRequireCurrentFrameData

When this option is disabled, we use the previous frame's data for the skeletal mesh and can often issue the simulation early.

bool bRequireCurrentFrameData

Remarks

When this option is disabled, we use the previous frame's data for the skeletal mesh and can often issue the simulation early. This greatly reduces overhead and allows the game thread to run faster, but comes at a tradeoff if the dependencies might leave gaps or other visual artifacts.
