Random Crash When Changing Scenes

[gavrilovmiroslav]

The application crashes with the following stack trace (not touching application code anywhere in it):

Update error: libraries/noble/Noble.lua:269: attempt to index a nil value (upvalue 'currentScene')
stack traceback:
	libraries/noble/Noble.lua:269: in field 'transitionMidpointHandler'
	libraries/noble/modules/Noble.Transition.lua:115: in field 'fn'
	libraries/noble/libraries/Sequence.lua:359: in local 'callTimeRange'
	libraries/noble/libraries/Sequence.lua:368: in method 'updateCallbacks'
	libraries/noble/libraries/Sequence.lua:81: in field 'update'
	libraries/noble/Noble.lua:311: in function <libraries/noble/Noble.lua:308>

The crash happens randomly, on scene transition using the Menu and Sequences.

Umm, this same error was reported previously and was thought to have been addressed by #66. Check out #69 and see if your issue is similar.

This might be a different issue entirely, either with the Sequence library or a new bug in the engine, or it could be the #66 didn't fully fix the underlying issue.

I supposed it also could be possible that you're using an older version of the engine?

I apologize for bumping a dead issue, but even in February 2026, I still have this error pop up rather consistently. I'm trying to submit my game to the Playdate Catalog soon and am anxious about doing so while the issue persists.

Was there any other investigation into what might be the cause of this?
