Tested now with Affinity Store Version 1.9 and latest DxO Nik software on macOS 11.2 Big Sur, and viveza crashes both affinity photo and nik sftware when apply changes is clicked.

Correct. Viveza is the only plugin that crashes AP But all the others are working

After a few hours of hard work I finally got the Nik Collection suite up and running on Affinity Photo. 
Here are the different steps: I remind you that I am on MAC and the version of my OS X system was Mojave. 
I finally downloaded a trial version from DXO of the Nik Collection suite to check if it works but unfortunately it was a failure! As for the old free version of Google only a few modules worked but the 2 most important for me, Color Efex Pro 4 and Silver Efex Pro 2 did not work and made AP crash. 
I finally decided to install the latest version of OS X, "Big sur" and there, miracle, all the plugins of the DXO Nik Efex suite work! 

Finally, I uninstalled the trial version from DXO and installed my free version from Google and everything works fine too!

I am using Affinity Photo 1.9.0  on Mac mini M1,  BigSur 11.2, 16GB Memory, 1TB HD

The version of DxO Nik Collection I am using is Nik Collection 3 the 25th Anniversary Edition.  This is the latest version available.

I tested the Nik Collection apps that I normally use and this was the results I got.

Color Efex Pro 4:  No problem experienced

HDR Efex Pro 2: No problem experienced

Silver Efex Pro 2: No problem experienced

Viveza 2: Affinity Photo crashed when returning from edit (tried both 8 and 16 bit files with same results)

Define 2: No problem experienced

Analog Efex Pro 2: No problem experienced

When the crash occurred a crash report was created by the Mac OS.  I copied the contents of that crash report and put it in the document attached.  Now Affinity Photo did not produce a crash notification of any sort.  When I started Affinity Photo after the crash it started up and displayed the file that I was working on. Hope this report will contain some information that can help identify the cause of the problem.

Thanks a lot Marvin.

I hesitate to buy the new version since I read on this forum that there were as many problems with the DXO version as with the Google one

Someone is successfully using the Nik Collection plugin suite with the latest version of Affinity Photo  1.9.0. ?

Hello everyone and especially to MEB QA / SUPPORT. I downloaded and installed Affinity Photo yesterday and I am very happy with this fabulous software. Unfortunately I am very frustrated because my software or rather main plugin, Siver Efex Pro 2 does not work in my AP version 1.9.0 I installed the Nik Collection suite correctly but the only module that seems to work is Viveza as long as you convert the documents to 8 bits! For my 2 main modules, namely Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro I just have a red window! It's very annoying because Silver Efex is my daily working tool and I have been using it for over 10 years. My current version of Nik Collection is Google's. I am on iMac Retina 27 and mac OS Mojave. I would be so happy to find a solution otherwise I would have no choice but to keep using Photoshop Elements.
