I recently attempted to upgrade a project that’s been happily using an older version of this plugin (4.2.8) to the beta, but ran into some breaking issues. This is a “large open world” type of game that generates the navmesh at runtime, using a series of UpdateGraph calls on two RecastGraphs.
While smaller pieces of the world can work, if I try to generate the entire thing I eventually get this exception, which stops the process:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

(after this I also get a lot of “Please do not wait for other work items to be completed inside work items” spam)
This is on Unity 2020.3.25f1.
