Sorry you are having trouble!

The forum will automatically remove your license information when you post logs.

The Slow file system access log messages mean you are using a network drive that is very slow.

It's surprising you run out of memory. You might consider other ways to arrange your project, for example to create attachments/skins at runtime:
Runtime Skins - Spine Runtimes Guide: Creating attachments

You can change the max memory Spine can use by passing a command line parameter when Spine is started. For example:

Spine.exe -Xmx4096m

That gives Spine a maximum of 4GB. You can replace 4096 with the number of megabytes you want to allow Spine to use. For example for 16GB use -Xmx16384m (16 * 1024 = 16384).

Thanks for your help Nate, might if i ask where to put that command line parameter ? im dump at tech

[Nate]

You can run Spine from the command prompt, or it may be easier for you to modify your Spine shortcut. Find the Spine entry on your start menu, right click, properties, for Target add the parameter, eg:

C:\Program Files\Spine\Spine.exe -Xmx16384m

Thank you for your help Nate, im able to solve my problem and export the file, save me from the deadline you're the best

[Nate]

Great! Glad it worked out.

[Ahmed Hamdy]

Hi, Nate
I want to ask you how I increase spine space? if you can write steps, please?

Spine.exe -Xmx4096m

[Nate]

@Ahmed, what OS are you using?

[Ahmed Hamdy]

@Nate
Edition: Windows 11 Pro
Version: 21H2

[Nate]

Open Command Prompt and run:

cd C:\Program Files\Spine
Spine.exe -Xmx4096m

Or you can change your Spine shortcut to add the argument. On your start menu, right click Properties, set the Target to:

C:\Program Files\Spine\Spine.exe -Xmx4096m

[Ahmed Hamdy]

Thank you for your help Nate

Hi Nate, is there a way to do it on a Mac? We've tried using terminal but it doesn't work.

[Nate]

Yes, it should work like this:

/Applications/Spine.app/Contents/MacOS/Spine -Xmx4096m

[AsiaOsmo]

Spine doesn't seem to be a java application on Mac, and it doesn't recognize the Xmx parameter

[Nate]

Spine uses Java internally, it doesn't use the system Java and it's launched with it's own launcher, not by running Java.

I'm away from the office and don't have access to a Mac at the moment, but it should work. Can you show the terminal with the command and the result you get?

What version of the Spine launcher (not editor) are you using? You can see it in the first line of your spine.log.
