Thanks for reporting this. I believe it's related to this issue.

Right now, if you're using the components (RivePanel and RiveWidget) you'll need to have domain+scene reloading enabled.

We're looking into potential workarounds for a future update.

This issue should be addressed from this canary version upwards: v0.3.8-canary.2

And will be included in the next official release (v0.3.8).
