In build, when I exit the game with Application.Quit, I get the following error:

```csharp

```

There are a few more like this, probably coming from any LocalizeStringEvent that was active in the scene at the time of closing.

I’m seeing another (possibly related?) error coming from OnDestroy as well.

```csharp

```

Any thoughts on this? I noticed that the game crashed after quitting, but I think that might have been due to something else. Still, would be nice to clean up the error logs, even if doesn’t affect the user because the game is already closed.

Unity 2022.3.6 / Localization 1.4.4.

Okay, so they confirmed the bug: [Unity Issue Tracker - Crash at &quot;UnityEngine.Object:FindObjectsOfType&quot; when quitting the Player](https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/crash-at-unityengine-dot-object-findobjectsoftype-when-quitting-the-player)

In the meantime though, is there any way to fix this on my end? I tried deleting the Addressables cache and doing a new build. It’s still crashing on quit. The Addressables Analyzer doesn’t show any fixable problems, either.
