Scene switching issues after AC upgrade to v1.77.1

[Unity 2021.3.22f1 - AC v1.77.1]

Hi Chris!

First of all, thanks for the huge update, having the freedom to ditch walls when in Direct control mode is fantastic and the new Editor UI improvements are a great leap forward in terms of QOL!

That said, I am having similar issues as other people who recently posted: 1, 2

Basically, when switching scenes, the scene in which I switch to, feels like it takes longer to calculate all the OnStart logic.

I can see changes happening on the screen, like:

• Player waiting to be correctly placed on the correct PlayerStart marker
• Sprites turning either on or off
• Camera being replaced

Also, if I'm walking using Direct control, it looks like the Player is active before any of the above, because I can easily end up in another scene by just having the directional axis pointing any direction.

To provide as much context as possible:

• I have updated Unity first (2021.3.21f1 -> 2021.3.22f1) then AC (v1.76.3 -> v1.77.1)
• I'm not getting any significant information from the console log (also, no errors)
• I am loading scenes asynchronously and using Addressables
• I tried NOT loading scenes asynchronously and WITHOUT using Addressables
• I tried making a build (but only with asynchronous loading and Addressables active)

Since I saw this post talking about it, I'll also add that I am using PixelCrusher's Dialogue System. I'm not getting any null\missing reference warnings nor errors, but I don't know if it's only because I have already updated AC to v1.77.1.

Regardless, I tried the solution posted by DS' developer to move the RememberDialogueSystem component to the PersistentEngine but nothing really changed.

I'm not sure a repro project would be of any significant help, because this happens in all scenes, but I'll try providing one if that's the case.

Thanks a lot in advance, as always!

Yes, please provide if you can via PM. If it occurs in all scenes, you're welcome to send over a stripped-down project - just so long as it includes steps that I can follow to reproduce the issues. Thanks.
