[1554] Portals built into worlds sometimes give "object reference" error and then break
IgbarVonSquid
The error can't be reproduced with 100% guarantee, nor have I found anything that seems to cause it, though I think it happens most often with The Black Cat? It seems to happen with both public and private worlds, empty and busy worlds, if the portal has a custom name or not doesn't seem to matter, etc.
However, I can get it to happen most often from this test world, which may suggest that the world the portal is in has some affect on whether it will break or not:
Sometimes the error pops up but then it loads you into the world anyway. But if it doesn't load, the portal is then "frozen" and can't be entered anymore unless you rejoin the instance.
Reproduction steps:
- Join test world
- Walk into portal. if the error doesn't pop up, let it load the world, then join it again and try again until it happens (Yes, it HAS to be the Black Cat because I think it happens most often with this world)
Output log is attached, with the relevant error at 2025.01.23 03:59:10. In this session I booted into a new instance directly using the VRC Quick Launcher. Walked into the portal, loaded into the Black Cat, pressed Go Home to go back to my home world, then made a new instance of the test world, joined it, and walked into the portal. This time it gave the error and didn't send me to The Black Cat.
