NullReference error popping up in tutorial

[Pooj]

I just got the game and have been trying to get into the tutorial, but everytime I do a error pops up at the bottom left of the screen saying something about a NullReference object. The loading bar in the middle of the screen also says "No State". Anyone solution to this?

[Racheloblade]

I have the same problem.

Same problem here, no tutorials loading. Impossible to learn how to play

Same problem here.

Maybe it's the same problem that prevented me from starting a new game on Mars just now.

Try adding "--nodiscord" under Properties -> General -> Launch options.

[OnryouGaSuki]

No effect with --nodiscord param

same error here, just new to the game, impossible to play tutorials :(

[Lance Lake]

Same. I came back from a long pause on playing and wanted to load up the tutorials to play again, but this is now blocking me.

Confirm.

If you are new to the game, I recommend the 'Cows are evil' youtube channel. He will provide you a better overview of how to start and survive.

I had this problem - as well as other manifestations of the same. Solution? Exit discord before launching. No discord, no problem! There's something in the game's discord integration that's causing it to crash in multiple circumstances, and in multiple annoying ways, but they all come from the same root.

Same problems without discord...

[cn_flasher]

yes, don't have discord installed at all, still tutorials not launching. Please check your solution before advising.

Worked for me, but a null reference exception is a very generic error - could mean lots of things. The game leaves a log file behind when it crashes though - AppData\LocalLow\Rocketwerkz\rocketstation\Player.log. Something in there might shed light on it.

No clue though what might fix it, if any (other than some code fix from developer.)

Feels like it tries to load some kind of save file for tutorial and fails.

Hoping Devs will catch on to this and let us know the work around!

Same here
