[Cannot communicate with other Affinity apps since 2.2.0 update]

Partial Success! Here is a list of steps/troubleshooting I've done. Maybe it will work for you too! Jump to the end if you just want the partial solution.

 

Computer: 

• AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor           

• GPU 6700xt

• 

 

• No Obvious Task Manager Process

• No Rules for firewall, 

• Default Firewall built into Win 10 Pro

• Asus router (maybe)

 

Troubleshooting:

• Have Installed using both the EXE and MSI versions

• Did check the Ransom Rules and it was not activated on my system. I did activate and afterwards 

saw that security block an AMD process but no Affinity product

• Control + Click to start, cleared user data, deactivated and still not working

• 

• Windows 10 was just reinstalled and I installed Affinity with V2

• Went into C:\Users\{youruser}\AppData\Roaming   and located the AFFINITY folder and erased it. Success! 

 

I did have to reactivate the license and probably all my settings are gone but Photo 2 at least seems to be working. It’s also late and I will  reinstall the rest of the apps tomorrow.

Has anyone been able to solve this issue without having to do a full reset or turn into a firewall security expert?

I tried updating t o the  new version 2.3 and the same results.  I'm pretty frustrated now. Any advice is more than welcomed.

Hi Everyone, 

I'm also getting the same message. I've tried both methods of installation, the exe and msix methods both failed. I'm not a firewall expert. I use the built in firewall that comes with win10 pro, default settings. V2 was working before I reset my win10 OS, so it's not my router either. I did install V1 of the apps and they work, but with V2 I can't even get to the screen to activate any of the V2 apps.

Any next step would be greatly appreciated,

thanx
