Around three months ago, all my projects that used to be working fine suddenly start throwing the runtime error:
Cannot convert null to 'bool' because it is a non-nullable value type (Open Stacktrace)
This is really frustrating because nothing was done and yet it changed from working to broken just overnight. I am already reducing my code to the bare minimum but this is still happening. Does anyone have similar experience?

Hey there! This should have never worked as you are not returning whether the indicator is ready from the Update function. We're aware it worked earlier in the year but not sure how =)
Fix is just add "return self.IsReady" to the end of your Update method.
