How to reproduce:
1. Open the “ReproProject“ project
2. Navigate to the “File/Build Profiles“ window
3. Build and Run
4. In the Player using the “WASD“ keys move the Camera horizontally
5. Observe the “Player.log“ and the Player

Expected result: No errors and no screen-tearing artifact
Actual result: “Unable to add Renderer to the Scene after Culling.“ and “NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object“ errors spammed and screen-tearing artifact

Reproducible with: 6000.0.23f1
Could not test with: 2021.3.44f1, 2022.3.50f1 (Could not resolve the Build failing issue)

Reproducible on: macOS 14.6.1 (Intel), Windows 10, Windows 11 (Original Reporter)
Not reproducible on: No other environments tested

Workaround 1: Disable the “light_florescent_office_ceiling_spot_01” and/or “cuffed_overhead_pose_04”

Workaround 2: Comment out lines 67 and 68 in the “LightLodSettings.cs” script

Notes:
- To test the project might need to delete the Library folder otherwise the build fails (only important when un-zipping the project for the first time)
- The Development build instead of the screen tearing artifact will create a complete Player screen blackout artifact
- According to the reporter it does happen in the Editor, but rarely, the CQA was not able to reproduce in the Editor
- More information and full errors in the comments
- A light “LOD” system is present which changes the light shadow settings based on distance, this is creating the issue
- Seems that the issue is coming from the “HDAdditionalLightData.SetShadowUpdateMode” method in the “LightLodSettings.cs” script
