JSON error with InputSystem integration
I have this show-stopper when I include the global string variable InputRebind in the ControlsReader gameobject.
There's no error when the variable is only entered in the ControlsReader prefab. But obviously it won't save runtime rebindings if the gameobject is not linked. (Latest AC, U2022.1.20)

What's your Input System package version?
I've made a slight adjustment to the ControlsReader script. Re-download and re-import the file (others can be ignored) from the package - does the issue persist?
Thanks. Yes, the JSON error persists, pointing to lines 219-22 in the file:
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty (saveVariable.TextValue))
{
actions.LoadBindingOverridesFromJson (saveVariable.TextValue);
}
Input System version is 1.4.4 which came out just a week ago(?). Should I revert to 1.4.3 or older?
And now there's also this:
OK I tried everything, this is clearly a bug. It may be 1.4.4 related -- but wouldn't like to revert to 1.4.3 if I can help it, as the upcoming U2022.2 will auto-update to 1.4.4 anyway.
Replace line 217:
with:
That looks like an issue with Input System, since the Controls script the errors reference is generated by the Controls input asset. You may want to try deleting the script file, and re-generating it within the input asset window.
Same error persists with new line. Though it points to line 221 only.
Regenerating the Controls.cs did solve the other issue.
Can you share the error in full - stacktrace included?
I can't recreate such an issue. If you check "Show realtime values?" in the Variables Manager, what is the value of the String variable you're linking to at the time the error shows?
I tried with an empty project, and it works. So once again it's a local interference, will need to clean my project.
In fact, further investigation suggests that using anything more recent than the LTS is really problematic with AC, especially if UCC (and the integration) is also present.
The 2022 tech stream is ridiculously broken, and Opsive's stuff, for instance, is really sensitive to these discrepancies.
If you have encountered an issue with AC and a particular Unity version, please share details.
