Issue with Lobby - Unable to Create New Lobby After Playing a Match

Unity Engine

Hello,

I’m encountering a bug in my game where I’m unable to create a new lobby after playing a game. The issue seems to occur only when I’ve already played a match, as it works fine when I haven’t played any matches yet.

The error message I received is as follows:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Unity.Netcode.NetworkBehaviour.__endSendClientRpc (Unity.Netcode.FastBufferWriter& bufferWriter, System.UInt32 rpcMethodId, Unity.Netcode.ClientRpcParams clientRpcParams, Unity.Netcode.RpcDelivery rpcDelivery) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@1.4.0/Runtime/Core/NetworkBehaviour.cs:202)

UnityEngine.UnitySynchronizationContext.ExecuteTasks () (at <790a43858b4b404fbe02a2b7b4a0d9d6>:0)

Here is the code that triggers leaving the match:

public async void QuitToMainMenu()
{
    await MatchmakingService.LeaveLobby();
    NetworkManager.Singleton.Shutdown();
    SceneManager.LoadScene((int)SceneIndexes.TITLE_SCREEN);
}

I already tried a lot of things, but I’m lost.

I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. If you need any additional information or code snippets, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to provide them.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi @WesleydG , are you sure you subscribe/unsubscribe events properly (evenly) from LobbyManager.OnClientConnectedCallback between sessions? It seems like you’re calling a method on a destroyed object.

I fixed the issue. I subscribed to the OnClientConnectedCallback, but when the object got destroyed (Scene switch). I didn’t unsubscribe from the event.

Thanks for helping!

(I don’t know why I didn’t see that. I tried a lot of things :face_with_spiral_eyes:)
