Object reference not set to an instance of an object error message

I've run into an issue recently with SP-Tarkov that's left me unable to play the game. I recently finished a raid on Customs, but after that, I started getting the error message, "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I have no clue what it means, or if it's referencing a conflict in a mod or not. All I do know is it happened after a raid in Customs, and so far, the only thing I can deduce is it has to do with a thermal optic conflicting somewhere. Can someone help me out with finding out what is happening here?

Based on your client logs it seems like either some files are missing from the mod ClearVision, or there is another mod conflicting with the bundles that ClearVision edits.

I would start by reinstalling CV to see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work, try running the game without CV.

If it starts working, you'll know that another mod is conflicting, and you'll have to narrow it down - or there is an issue with CV specifically. In which case you'll have to take it up with the mod author.

Hope this helps

That's a start and at least gives me a direction to go. What's weird is I made a new profile, updated it so I'm back to where I was, and so far, the only issue I've had wasn't from the ClearVision mod, but rather an insurance issue that kept hanging at the end of the raids. That was a minor inconvenience, but I fixed that myself. So far, this issue hasn't come up again, yet I'm not running into the same issue. I'm wondering if it was an item I picked up? May have to look into it later, but for now, I'm at least playing again.

Update:

The known error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" appeared again but only once in about 10 raids.

Maybe someone with a bit technical knowledge could have a look at the attached error log.

So i had the error and may have a possible solution:

I had the same issue with my save and the following mods active:

- BandanaOfProtection

- ClearVision

- ServerValueModifier

After some trial and error i found that the issue could be related to increasing the size of containers above the values of standard and then using the extra space for items.

So i increased the size of a lucky scav box from 14x14 to 15x15 and filled it up. As soon as it was filled the system threw the error after every raid. I then emptied the box and the error disappeared.

I changed the size back to standard 14x14 and filled it up again and the error did not appear again. I will monitor everything for a while but it really looks like its related to the change of container size.

What i also found is that the issue could be related to weapons that are folded and the space they take changes. So unfold you weapons.

Right, but what further confuses me is that the issue is also arising for those that aren't running mods. I can't figure out why that's happening.

Restarting the server fixed the problem for me

...Oh, holy shit, that actually worked...I feel like a proper dunce now for not doing that. XD
