Moving to the Publisher Public Beta forum.

Both. The latest beta was released as a stable patch.

It does run without --no-dwm-warning on Windows 7. You only need that if you disable the DWM (which is permanently enabled from Windows 8, with no way of disabling).

Yes, that looks like the correct link.

Try to be polite and respectful to other forum users please. @toltec was only trying to help you. I'm going to close this thread, as there is no helpful discussion to be had here - as others have already mentioned, Microsoft is responsible for the updates on their store.

We (think we) have a fix for this, but it arrived too late for the 1.6.5 patch. Instead it should be available in 1.7.

This is exactly the same as the beta 123 (hence the identical build numbers).

There is an official update to 1.6.5 this morning, is that what you're thinking of?

Is there anything in %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports ? If so, can you attach it to this post?

Moving to Suggestions forum.

Has this just occurred in the latest Photo customer beta (1.6.5.123)?

No, we've used them for the last 6 years :-)

Those services use edge providers to place the content close to where you live (e.g. the content will be mirrored to servers close to your location). We host the files on Amazon AWS, but only located on the east coast of USA (Virginia). If you're having a problem with the download, it won't be a problem with Amazon AWS, it will be with your ISP trying to reach the content in the USA.

FYI, the exact same discussion is being had in the Windows forum:

Moving to Questions forum.

We have this fixed, and will be available in a future patch.

1.6.5.123 is now available.

Great news! Hopefully we've solved the issue now.

Very complicated :-) It's something we're actively talking about here, but it would require re-writing the UI completely from scratch (we don't share any UI between iPad and Desktop apps).

@dominik, it's only really an issue for the beta testing, as official releases will always have the 3rd number increase (i.e. the next release will be 1.6.6).

@rubs / @digital, try the latest beta, out today

1.6.5.119 is now available.
