This script is the only mention of server storage

the problem here isn’t that the game hasn’t been loaded yet. As previously seen on the screenshot, the BillboardGui dissapears whenever he joins the game so there must be something going on with the scripts.

Instead of putting it inside of the ServerStorage, maybe put it directly into the “NameTagScript”.
change the line with the following:

local nameTag = script:WaitForChild("PlayerStats")

local nameTag = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerStats")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	repeat task.wait() until plr.CharacterAdded
	workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name).Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
	
	local nameTagClone = nameTag:Clone()
	nameTagClone.Frame.Name.Text = plr.Name
	nameTagClone.Parent = workspace[plr.Name].Head
end)

entire script

I mean you can try shifting the code around i guess

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	repeat task.wait() until plr.CharacterAdded
	workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name).Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
	
	local nameTagClone = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerStats"):Clone()
	nameTagClone.Frame.Name.Text = plr.Name
	nameTagClone.Parent = workspace[plr.Name].Head
end)

do the search method i showed you before and look for scripts that use :Destroy or :Remove

I just tested in my own studio with no errors, something is clearly changing the UI.

You sure you turned on archivable?

It should be turned on for the UI Object
I got an error only when i turned it off.

also this doesn’t seem correct. This is better;

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		char.Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
	
		local nameTagClone = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerStats"):Clone()
		nameTagClone.Frame.Name.Text = plr.Name
		nameTagClone.Parent = char:WaitForChild("Head")
	end)
end)

I had no idea archivable had to be on.

I also didn’t know what it does
