deferlow: no such object

First time encountering a problem such as this. I have six deferlow objects in my patch which also has a node.script running. The deferlow objects are not instantiating on load of the patch nor if I add one in edit mode. I'm only able to add a deferlow object if doing so in a new patcher, regardless whether my problematic patch is open or not.
