I'm in the pyramid that forces me into two parties. When I try to change parties, I get told "Game has encountered a bug. Please report it" with TypeError: Cannot read property "isAlive" of null at: and then it lists a bunch of sections like "at Game_Party.Game_Unit.isAllDead (rpg_objects.js:4729:17). It says Press F5 to restart game, and the issue persists.

You're talking about Esto Yensa, where you're supposed to find a Rodenian Leystone after having obtained the Astral Key, right? I think I encountered the same bug when fooling around. If I'm right, the bug only occurs when you visit Esto Yensa too soon, that means after obtaining the Astral Key, but before triggering the dialogue (was it Mizuda in Marshtown?) that steers you towards Esto Yensa and Osteinchyl to obtain the Rodenian Leystones. If you visit Esto Yensa too soon, you can simply walk in (without a cutscene taking place), and then the bug occurs when trying to switch parties. If you do things in order though, a cutscene will be shown when you enter Esto Yensa, and you will actually be prompted to select two different parties before proceeding. Hopefully, you didn't encounter the bug despite doing everything in order and selecting two parties, because then I don't know how to avoid this bug. Also, I obtained Esto Yensa's Rodenian Leystone first (before the one in Osteinchyl), which might or might not make a difference, but at least I was able to switch parties inside Esto Yensa and to complete the dungeon without any further issues.

OH, lol. good catch, I see why; The doors check for the key, NOT if the quest stage has gone active, so it's just a game breaking sequence break

I found something more interesting, however it happened in v1.09 so idk if that persist in v.1.12 (I must start over again a new save to try the new patches).
When I finished Esto Yensa with Vahn's team as last one, for some reason the Vera's sprite persist, even when changed to her. ALSO it unlocked some missing characters for no reason! Got another funny interaction in Branch Castle similar to Esto Yensa but that counts as spoiler.

(First time posting on itch.io, sorry if the image is too big, idk how to strech it :c)

Yeah, this is the bug I was talking about in another thread here recently XD, as it is now, you can avoid it by crossing the threshold to trigger party reunion with vera and not vahn...tho I wasn't aware it also unlocked characters... is it Adder and or Lyric? it could have been due to how the additional characters are checked for(base game uses seperate pages, with my moded version I condensed it into a single if/else tree lol)

I'm running v1.1.12 and get that error. I completed Osteinchyl, went to Esto Yensa, got the cut scene, picked my parties, went in. The crash happens when I try to switch between parties, every time.

Squ33q33 days ago

Yep, that's what I"m doing. I got the key, I did the OTHER dungeon, now I chose my two parties, and when I press the button to switch between them, game locks.

I'm not sure if this is it or not, but I went back, and if I switched parties while NOT on a save marker, I was able to switch parties and complete the pyramid.

If it wasn't "being on the save marker and switching parties" that was causing it, then it has to do with party composition when you split up the teams. I forget the split when I was getting the crash, but the split when I didn't get the crash was:

Team 1: Vahn, Oalston, Siegfried, Nombasu

Team 2: Vera, Elina, Darius, Ami

I also entered the cutscene at the pyramid that leads to the party split/selection, with Vera as my party leader.

No change in version - originally experienced the crash on 1.12, and didn't get the crash on 1.12 and got through the level, and now onto the merged world.

Just adding to the list to confirm this bug. I'm also stuck in progressing any further in the game until this is resolved.

I as well :p.

so at this point are there two dungeons you can do at the same time esto/pyramid and another dungeon? If this is the case has the error been triggered when choosing the pyramid second and would it be safer to do pyramid first then other dungeon which is what? Haven't made it that far trying to get ahead of it. Any pre emptive tips would be appreciated

It seems the bug only occurs when you visit/complete Osteinchyl first (and then Esto Yensa - the pyramid). If you advance the story far enough and visit/complete Esto Yensa first (so that a cutscene is played when you enter Esto Yensa), you should be fine.

it’s not just from doing Esto Yensa 2nd - it’s happening to me after getting the cut scene trying to do it 1st

Rabbo500015 days ago

But… strangest thing… just reloaded my save - picked random teams and it worked and now I can switch parties…

I also saw it switch Vahn’s sprite with the selected character when the first teammate I picked was the lead of my active party going in…

so now my best guess is that it’s something to do with state of the active party going into the location combined with how you select your team…

This is a game breaking bug, also happened to me. Since RPG Maker MV is essentialy JavaScript, I've figured out how to solve this with the help of Gemini, but it involves loading code workarounds on Terminal to prevent the game to breaking when switching parties. It happens because group 2 has characters with "null" value and then the Yanfly's Plugin responsible for this breaks. So it basically involves loading one code sequence to prevent the game from breaking, then another code injection to clean the NULL characters on group 2. Then, another code to manually add the characters that were supposed to be in the party. After cleaning the values, I had only Vera and Nobumasa. Darius and Elina were supposed to be in group 2. Unfortunately, this manual addition of characters involves finding the Actor ID of your character, and this can bring some spoilers and also allows you add characters that weren't supposed to be there... After adding, there is also a fourth code injection that will prevent the game from breakign again (If I fix and switch, and then try to switch back the game breaks).

I've fixed this only as a way to escape this ~~damnd~~ungeon.
