Automated Triage

Issue type	bug
Affected area	Landscape Loading System (RenderGroundSystem, World Entry)
Feature category	Primary — World & Navigation
Severity	SEV-2 → 1-high

Reasoning: This is a crash in a Primary category feature (World & Navigation). The null reference exception occurs during LoadLandscapeStartupOperation when loading terrain data, which is part of the critical path for entering the world. If this affects users during world access, it blocks core gameplay. Crashes in Primary features during world entry are classified as SEV-2.

Labels applied: bug, 1-high, sentry

Automated Triage

Issue type	bug
Affected area	Landscape/Terrain Rendering
Feature category	Primary - Stability & Crashes
Severity	SEV-2 → 1-high

Reasoning: This is a NullReferenceException crash in RenderGroundSystem.GetTerrainBounds() occurring during LoadLandscapeStartupOperation, which means it blocks users from properly initializing the landscape system during world entry. Crashes are classified as Primary → Stability & Crashes. Since it occurs during critical startup, it meets SEV-2 criteria (crash affecting world entry).
