Plugin Crashes on Load

Freshly setup Windows 11, I'm seeing this error each time and the game closes.

Fatal error. 0xC0000005

On my linux installation of FF14 and IINACT/Browsingway this does not occur. This is because in Wine, we don't even activate it. See TextToSpeechProvider.cs:15,

How can I satisfy this dependency?

Hello, have you found a fix for this ?
Having the same issue and reading a bit their discord, seems like it is a Microsoft bug when trying to access text to speech provider
Bit sad MS is preventing us to use such a useful plugin lmao

This is 100% a Microsoft bug, but I will leave this open just because I wanted to move the TTS backend anyways, and that would indirectly fix this (or crash the other plugin that then handles Windows TTS)

[Latihas]

Perhaps we can try adding a settings checkbox to let users choose whether to prioritize the Google API for TTS. In my version, I also used a lazy loading approach to prevent premature crashes.
Here's a similar issue I met: Latihas/IINACTEx#4
Here's my code: https://github.com/Latihas/IINACTEx/blob/cn/IINACT/TextToSpeechProvider.cs
Edge TTS and LatihasTTS are engines for Chinese, replace it with Google API may help.
