Gibberish UI when opening Spine

BlueJayJitsu · 3 مارس 2023

Hey!
I was working in Spine yesterday perfectly fine. I've used the software for years and never had this issue.
I'm on a Macbook pro 2021 with a silicon chip.
This morning when I opened Spine it showed a random grey page of sparse gibberish instead of the software. I think it's TRYING to run as when I clicked where the "new project" button usually is (which appeared to be an odd small ascii man) it opened to a sparce, gibberish ui , with the ability to zoom in/zoom out of what i'd assume is the normal canvas, and has drop down (incomprehensible) menus in the top left. I think the software is there but just not graphically correct to the point of being unusable.

I've removed and reinstalled the software and restarted my Mac, it allowed me to input my license code into the new install without a problem, but then continued to show the same issue.
Other animation/design softwares have been opening smoothly, but it's still possible that this may be my end.

Thanks!

Could you also share your log when this happens? It can be found here:

BlueJayJitsu I believe tha cause is the color management setting:

It should be disabled by default, but I guess you enabled it on for some reason. Enabling it breaks the UI like this on my Mac PC using M1 chip:

To fix this, open Finder, choose Go to Folder via Go on the menu bar, and enter the following:
~/Library/Application Support/Spine/settings/

Then, delete start-1.json to reset to the default settings.

IIRC this is Apple's bug. We could disable the setting on the M1/2, but that's a little unfortunate for the versions where it's disabled if they fix it later.
