Spine-Godot runtime exception when changing scenes (SEHException)

julia_grem

Hello! I'm using the Spine 4.2 godot editor binaries (Godot 4.4.1 mono). My game is often crashing at runtime when switching scenes, with this exception:

E 0:00:08:408   GD.cs:366 @ void Godot.GD.PushError(string): Unhandled exception
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.

Is there something I need to do to safely clean up Spine nodes before switching scenes?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

To address the SEHException when changing scenes in your Godot project using the Spine-Godot runtime, ensure that you are properly disposing of any Spine-related objects before switching scenes. This includes manually calling the Dispose method on any Spine nodes or objects that may not be automatically cleaned up by the garbage collector. Additionally, ensure that you are not holding onto references to Spine objects that are no longer needed, as this can prevent them from being disposed of correctly. It may also be helpful to review your scene transition logic to ensure that all resources are being properly released.

Thanks Spinebot, I'll give it a try!
