Error: Cannot read property 'vb' of null when opening a scene in Cocos Creator 3.8.2

I’m encountering the following error when opening a scene in Cocos Creator 3.8.2:
Error: Cannot read property ‘vb’ of null
and the screen freezes after that…

I have checked all references to SpriteFrames in the nodes of this scene, and none of them are null. Despite this, the error persists.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? What could be causing it, and how can I resolve it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
