    I'm not sure what it means, but this is clearly my "task failed successfully" moment:

    Assertion failed on expression: 'SUCCEEDED(hr)'

    Might not help here since that seems to be a custom assert someone wrote, but e.g. when "index out of bound" errors awkwardly point to the wrong line of code, make sure to "Enable Debugger" with the golden bug at the bottom-right corner of the screen:

    Nothing to do with Unity but when I worked in web Javascript I always thought it was funny when I get the error message "Null is Null or not an object".

    SUCCEEDED is a macro from Windows API that you use to check whether the call you made has succeeded. I agree with you, there should be an error message with it. Unfortunately, there are ~35 Assert(SUCCEEDED(hr)) in the core, so I can't tell you exactly what happened. If you can reproduce it, we would appreciate a bug report.
