Bug: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'stage')

[Brandon-Perry]

Current Behavior

If I make a Pixi component and use it in my NextJS app, it causes this error to appear:
Unhandled Runtime Error
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'stage')

This will happen even if Stage is the only Pixie React component.

I've made sure that it as a client component and I've also tried using dynamic imports. Neither worked.

I tried reproducing it in a code sandbox, but there it actually worked! It's the exact same code, so I don't know what the issue is.

Expected Behavior

It not to immediately crash

Steps to Reproduce

https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/pixinext-issue-spxnsl
Note that this works

Steps for my local version that didn't work:

• Run npx create-next-app@latest in dir
• Select default options
• Install latest versions of Pixi and React Pixi
• Create any Pixi component and place it in app/page.tsx. Make sure it's a client component (add 'use client' to top of page)
• Run npm run dev
• Failure?

Environment

• @pixi/react version: 7.1.1
• pixi.js version: 7.3.3
• React version: 18.0.0
• ReactDOM version: 18.0.0
