All spice is doing is opening a file handle via CreateFileA/W on the COM port. When the process dies, all file handles would be cleaned up by the OS, even if spice somehow doesn't end up closing them (e.g., if the game crashes, or if the user forcibly terminates)

Maybe double check if the old game process is fully closed. You can also use things like Process Explorer to see who is holding a handle open on the COM port.

Other than that, it seems unlikely this is a bug in spice.
