[Fixed 69931] Unable to properly enter any scene (and some not at all) [scene] unavailable

Title: Unable to properly enter any scene from overworld
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? yes

Details: When entering Ardoris, the map begins to load but after 50% shows the error: :
[ERROR] The network connection to a required network service [scene] is unavailable
and then loads Novia instead. When entering other scenes (Castle Atos or East Perennial Trail) I spawn in space below the map and to the SE off the map edge and fall in a loop forever. I have verified files in STEAM and it is still occcuring. Behaviour began after R96 update.

Steps to Reproduce: logon at overworld, attempt to enter a scene (Ardoris, Castle Atos, East Perennial Trail)

User Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz (12) System RAM: 16312
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 GPU RAM: 8088
SotA.Win.64.1488.Date.11.21.21
Area: Novia_R1_Swamp02_Road
Area Display Name: East Perennial Trail
Loc: (403.0, -572.0, -358.3)
Debug: Tm92aWFfUjFfU3dhbXAwMl9Sb2FkfHwoNDAyLjk4NCwgLTU3Mi4wMTYsIC0zNTguMzAxKXwoMCwgLTAuNjM2LCAwLCAtMC43NzIpfC00OS4yODQ3M3wtNDMuNzk5NTd8NDA=

 

Addendum:

Any POT or game City I attempt to enter produces the "[ERROR] The network connection to a required network service [scene] is unavailable" and returns me to Novia (but outside my previous location vs the location I was entering from)

Any scene I enter spawns me floating in space off the map and I fall in a loop (under and off to the side of the map) forever. /stuck does not help - it respawns in the same way. The only way to get out of it is to quit and restart the game

 

more data; I just tried logging on with secondary character. Successfully spawned in Ardoris town map (where character last logged off prior to r96)

However when I left Ardoris via the gate, I spawned outside Fortus End on Novia map. None of the towns had enter pop ups, just name plates. So I wandered around and got sucked into a plaims encounter, which spawned me below/off the map in a perpetual fall. This. time /stuck actually respawned me on the plains encounter. When I left the edge of that encounter, I respawned outside Ardoris on Novia overland at
loc [326.826,13.289,-394.336]

Neither towns nor scenes have pop up options to enter (just name plates) and PoTs have no popups or name plates at all.

the only scenes I can enter are wandering monster scenes and my character spawns at strange location (ex. loc [60.588,36.386,-15.311] in the Plains road encounter (on hill near stone henge vs at gate)

 

more oddness: “exit to menu” in options spawns at a black screen with music, sfx and some ui visible on it (but no character visible)

only “quit” will work.

 

I had this issue too - type /debug before entering the scene and you should see a lot of error spew?

The fix - was @Alley Oop summoned me into her POT. My bug link was here:

Hey @Chris - maybe take a look at this?

 

yes was getting lots of errors in /debug:

console - nullReferenceException: Object refernce not set to an instance of an object

console: NullReference

etc

some were lua related even though I was using /unload lua once the game started.

I just quit and deleted “ocxtools” from my lua folder, then restarted and now I am entering Ardoris and I seem to be spawning properly.

 

ok this might be a LUA issue - however in my case I wasn’t using OCXtools but using SotA info — I did a /luaunload each time but that didn’t help: i then went and deleted my lua folder with no success — adding @DavidDC
