Anyone having trouble with spine 1.8.27 opening old files?

davejab81

I'm mixing new characters in a scene with characters that were made and rigged in an older version (I don't know which, at least 5 months). Anyway, I was just thinking about how nice Spine is and it never crashes, and sure enough, I got yesterdays update to 1.8.27 and now all my projects have been steadily crashing. Some seemingly at random, some after pressing a button feature (but never the same button) and now I can't even open my most recent file. I only lost a couple hours of work but I'm worried the problem will just keep repeating itself.

My money is on something in the software update, or my mixing older characters with new ones. Anyone else having this problem, or something similar? Crash log is shown below. Thanks.

Not sure if Nate has been able to reproduce this one yet. We'll hopefully be able to fix it soon! If Nate needs it would you be able to send one of the old project files ?

The crash is because a skeleton has a slot and the bone for it can't be found. That is all the information that can be gleaned from the crash log. How that occurred is hard to guess, we really need to be able to see the crash ourselves. Ideally you can send the project that crashes and the steps to take to cause the crash. Any chance of that?
