Solutions for the new Skins causing the game to freeze
First, if you are using BlueStack, you may need to do some set-up. You have to open Multi-instance Manager, select Fresh Instance, click Android 11 Installed in the version selection, and use Android 11 to open the game after the download is complete.
Better to use Android 11 than Android 13. Because Android 13 is a beta version, so maybe not that stable
Or you can choose an easier way, just use MuMu simulator from the official website to get the latest version. Here is the site: https://www.mumuplayer.com/.
Then download Azur Lane on the emulator's Google Play, the skin issue should be solved.
For LDplayer, that would be a little more complex.
If you are using the latest LD9, you have to set the CPU to 8 cores in the advanced setting. After restarting the simulator, the issue will be solved.
As for LD5, if you are using 64-bit, you may not encounter skin issues.
But for 32-bit, it's quite similar to BlueStack. You also need to open Multi-instance Manager, but this time you have to choose Android 9.0 (64-bit) in the version selection. Then, use Android 9.0 to open the game and the skin issue should be solved as well.
