Animation Issue when updated Unity Package to latest 4.2 runtime from git

BarraCade

Hi all the had to download the latest package on a new install and it seems to not reset the skeleton when Setting a new animation in unity.
When going from run to idle for example, it will take the last frame of run as the starting point from where idle will pose, resulting in hilarious but alarming gameplay. we have the previous install and will need to figure out how to export and import the last working package. but hopefully you can fix it before our release.

affected packages: spine-unity-runtime v 4.2.94
spine-csharp-runtime v 4.2.33
last known working packages: spine-unity-runtime v 4.2.88
spine-csharp-runtime v 4.2.31
The pic below all players are "running" but two just came from "fallen" animation

thanks for your time on this any help is appreciated.

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with the latest Spine-Unity runtime where the skeleton does not reset properly when switching animations, causing the new animation to start from the last frame of the previous animation. This can lead to unexpected and incorrect poses during gameplay. To address this, you might want to try reverting to the last known working versions of the Spine-Unity and Spine-CSharp runtimes, which are 4.2.88 and 4.2.31 respectively. You can download these versions from the Spine Unity Download page. Additionally, ensure that your animation setup in Unity is correctly configured to reset the skeleton when changing animations, possibly by using the AnimationState methods to clear tracks or set animations with the appropriate mix settings.

Dearest Spinebot, you cant download those particular packages from that link, it only seems to have the latest 4.2 if you have a link where I could get them that would indeed solve our issue. I can confirm I have tried resetting the Animation State and are not mixing any animations when having these issues.

BarraCade Unfortunately, it's hard to figure out what the problem is from the screenshot and description, so could you please create a minimal Unity project that can reproduce the problem and email it to us?: contact@esotericsoftware.com
Please include the URL of this forum thread in the email so we know the context. Then we can take a look at what's wrong.

Regarding how to download an older version of the spine-unity and spine-csharp runtime, as each new package is released, the old package becomes unavailable, so you need to use the Unity Package Manager to install older versions. For information on how to install via the Unity Package Manager, please see the following section of the documentation:

Note that if you are using optional features, such as Timeline or Universal Render Pipeline (URP) support, and they were installed via Unitypackage, they will also need to be reinstalled via the Unity Package Manager. (Otherwise, the references will be incorrect and you will get an error.)
