L5.2 "No supported encrypter found."

I've started to get this on all my local 5.2 installations on Laravel Homestead; "No supported encrypter found. The cipher and / or key length are invalid.", all of which worked previously.

My APP_KEY is set to a 32 char string, my cipher is set as AES-256-CBC and downgrading to Laravel 5.1 seems to fix the issue, however I'd like to find a solution and not avoid the problem.

Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone help me with this issue?

Tried, doesn't solve anything; the key is there and the correct length.

Ended up just reinstalling Homestead, installing mcrypt didn't do anything (It was already installed).
