I encountered a problem where Spine cannot start. After trying multiple times, it is possible to open it. However, after using it for a while, there may be a crash issue. Here is my error log, please help me check it

HanJ I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble. This is only an issue with older versions, but in the past, there was a problem where the program would not start correctly if there were Chinese characters in the path. Could you try changing all the paths to English and see if you can start the editor?

After removing the Chinese path, a new error log appeared

HanJ Thank you for the additional information. Just to confirm, are you able to start the latest stable version (Spine 4.2) successfully?

We have received similar reports from other users in China, so it's possible that this is an issue related to your PC's language settings. Unfortunately, we cannot fix older versions, so even if we determine that the issue is caused by a bug in version 3.8, we will not be able to resolve the problem. In such cases, you may need to upgrade your Spine project's version.
