Editor crashes with "GetManagerFromContext: pointer to object of manager 'PlayerSettings' is NULL (table index 0)" error when launching a project with a corrupted library

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the “user’s attached project”
2. Observe the "{{GetManagerFromContext: pointer to object of manager 'PlayerSettings' is NULL (table index 0)}}" error and the Editor crash

Reproducible with versions: 2021.3.50f1, 2022.1.0a1, 2022.3.60f1, 6000.0.45f1, 6000.1.0b13, 6000.2.0a8

Reproducible on: macOS 15.1.1 (M1 Max), Windows 11 (by user)
Not reproducible on: no other environment tested

First few lines of StackTrace:

Note: Editor still crashes after rebuilding the corrupted library when it is detected, or deleting the Library folder manually and opening the Editor

  1. Resolution Note:

    The error happens because the QualitySettings.asset file (inside the ProjectSettings/ folder) has been renamed to be "ProjectSettings.asset".

    The ProjectSettings.asset asset should contain a "PlayerSettings" object and not a "QualitySettings" object. As such, when the system tries to load up the file, it fails.

    Deleting the "ProjectSettings/ProjectSettings.asset" file will force Unity to create a new one. Alternatively, copying an existing one from another project (assuming it doesn't have the same issue) should also fix the particular issue.
