Laravel 5.2 APP_DEBUG=false causes failed form request validation to 500 error

I have a 5.2 app that whenever form request validation fails, if the app_debug=false, it spits out the 500 error page instead of just returning the validation as usual.

Even weirder, it logs nothing in the laravel logs or the apache error logs. If I set app_debug=true then it works as it should. Seriously stumped on this one.

Solved it. Another dev had modified our error handler prior to updating to 5.2, so it was checking for a 500 error blade template to render if app_debug=false. I just checked the 5.2 default error handler render function (App/Exceptions/Handler.php > render function) and modified ours to be similar.
