absolutely, I sent it to the email Andy provided.

I am experiencing this issue with a few color formats. CMYK in Print(Press Ready) The same cream colored white happens with every cmyk color profile, but not with rgb here. Grey/8 & Grey/16 both profiles are cream colored as well Lab/16 all profiles are the same as above, cream for white With my monitor, I'm using the native color mode (Samsung Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM) instead of Adobe RGB or sRGB IEC61966 to get actual white. Also, my onboard video is disabled in the bios.

On trying to reorder and configure the right sidebar panels to my liking, I have found that the drag and drop is pretty temperamental, in that sometimes it will think I want to add a tab to a panel when I would like a new panel, or vice versa. So this makes it tough to configure the sidebar the way that I would ideally like it to be, however because of this behavior I have been able to consistently crash Designer for trying to move/order panels. I think that part of the reason is that I collapsed the panels and tried to move multi-tab ones, but also I noticed that trying to reorder a panel to be at the top is hard. I would assume that more tolerance for how and where to place these tabs/panels would probably help with the behavior a little.

Thanks much, I can confirm that on my system it is now working. win10x64 pro nvidia gtx 770

Yes I do have those folders, and I've attached the crash reports. reports.zip

Same issue, but on Win 10 x64. location is: C:\Program Files\Serif\Affinity Designer Public Beta

The Problem: Affinity Designer will not open. I was able to install the package without any error messages, the only thing it asked for was c++ but no error was thrown. On launching Designer I get the splash screen, but then the program crashes and wont load into the environment. Troubleshooting: redownloaded c++ manually, no help changed compatability of the .exe to win7, no help System: Win 10 x64 Pro nVidia GTX 770, running driver 368.39
