SteamAudio throws NullReferenceException on startup sometimes and prevents engine initialization.

[moonman-apollo]

Describe the bug?

The loading bar keeps getting stuck due to some Exception being thrown by the Twitch API not loading properly on my machine.

To Reproduce

This is a fresh Resonite install being started from Steam in both Screen and VR mode. I have kept it open for many minutes to check if it resolves. It did not.

Expected behavior

Resonite starting past the load screen

Screenshots

Resonite Version Number

What headset if any do you use?

I wanna say correlation does not imply causation because I get that twitch lib error every time and my game also gets past the loading screen without issue every time. In this case I'd also recommend sending the Player.log file (located in AppData/LocalLow/Yellow Dog Man Studios/Resonite) since that might have some additional information about this issue

Good point Here's the most recent player log. Player.log

Hmm- I see in your Player.log that SteamAudio is throwing a NullReferenceException continually. I suspect that is our smoking gun to figuring out this issue, @Frooxius @moonman-apollo.

I've also had this occur- but have not found any particular conditions under which it reliably occurs- it just seems as though it randomly happens sometimes.

Updated the title to be more descriptive of what I believe this issue is likely related to.
