I'll have to do some digging with the pixi-spine dudes to get an answer to that i think, can't see anything from a glance. I'll maybe just put a message to them directly to see if they can take a look at this thread or something. Since you got our provided spine file working using spine-ts then yeah it seems the issue is with PIXI somewhere. I sent the file to another developer who works with spine and PIXI and he said he is seeing the same problem so it's definitely not just an issue with our environment. Thanks for investigating that; I'll try get back to you with some more info or let you know if we manage to find something on PIXI's side.
Hey - think we managed to clear it up over with the pixi-spine guys.
Thanks again for the help, can check out the conversation over at github if you're interested.
