[Mod Issue]RPG HUD Neat 45 Produces thousands of Stale Component Refs

[Silentdarkness1]

So, i've noticed a problem with RPG HUD Neat 45 that may or may not be causing epic lag when insane for long periods. The log file shows that there are literally thousands of stale component references, most of them linked to the sanitybadge.lua file. I know it's the mod because it's not there if I remove the mod.

 

I talked with kiopho, and he...has absolutely no idea. So, i'm asking here instead.

 

Any ideas as to why this is?

What's a stale component reference, what's the error message and what's the mod's code that is causing the issue?

I was hoping you might know what a stale component reference is.

 

It's a...thing.

 

The game doesn't crash, but it will lag out eventually if you remain insane for long periods of time. As for the code that is causing the issue, all I know is that it's tied to sanitybadge.lua.

Here's the badge.lua file from the mod folder, if that helps at all.
