Chaos Emeralds item index is null

[demonipo]

Facing a bug for weeks now where the Chaos Emeralds are not appearing in game.

I'm currently doing this through r2modman and was using Thunderstore before, afraid the problem may be due to the mod managers.

Steps taken to try and fix the problem:
✅ Made a clean profile with only HedgehogUtils and the Sonic mod
✅ Confirmed all dependencies were installed
✅ Reset RoR2 installation on Steam
✅ Cleared mod cache
✅ Updated any mod possible and the game itself

Image has the box console log of the mods exclusively when starting the game up.

I haven't figured out how to get rid of that error with the Chaos Emeralds item index. I see it every time I open the game, but the Chaos Emeralds still work for me, so I know that's not the issue.

Just to be sure, are you remembering to turn on the Artifact of Chaos Emeralds? In case you missed, update 4.0.0 a while ago made the Chaos Emeralds spawning tied to an artifact instead of what character you're playing as. If it's a problem that's been happening for a while and it's not caused by other mods, this is the first possibility I can think of.

I am also having this issue. Went through the same steps as demonipo but with no luck, Also made sure the Artifact is on etc. Any chance you can take another look at it? Really enjoy your mods btw. :)
