Ok thanks for trying.

Thanks, it is uploaded. The purpose of this file is unusual as it's not an art project but rather more of an information and timeline ordering board. Hopefully it's salvageable, I'll definitely be making my own periodic backups of it from now on.

I've been working this way since Photo and Designer V1 launched without issue, I guess my luck ran out.

Hi Dan, one of my .afdesign files "appears to be corrupted", hoping you can help fix it? I can upload to your dropbox just let me know the link, and some other possibly helpful info is below, let me know if you need anything else. Affinity Designer version 2.0.0.1640 Microsoft Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.22000 I don't believe any images are linked, all imbedded but I'm not 100% sure on that. The file was on a server while working on it and while open I accidentally clicked to open it again, nothing happened aside from the taskbar icon lighting up. Then I decided to close and reopen Designer and when I tried to load the file I got the "Failed to open document...file appears to be corrupted." error. I have backup set to every 300 seconds and the file was open for a long time but upon reopening Designer I was not prompted for any recover files.

Yea I have Dell, Nvidia, and Windows all trying to handle updates and tripping over each other. After Walt suggested the GPU I looked for a driver update with GeForce Experience but nothing, then I checked Windows but nothing. Dell typically checks for me but it wasn't offering up any so I forced it to check and some finally came through and then sure enough after that Windows and Nvidia had updates too. I went through each of the three until I made sure there were no updates left for any of them but I was still having the problem, so only after disabling acceleration in Photo was I able to get it working. If you're curious the Nvidia driver I'm on is 466.11.

Thanks Walt, it was hardware acceleration. I turned that off and am all good now.

I go to Filter > Noise > Denoise - then the denoise adjustment window pops up and my image goes all deep fried and scrambled. Sometimes when I try to change adjustments it will crash. It is reproduceable, the colors go berserk every time but it does not crash every time. It happens with new documents. I attached the crash.dmp, log.txt, video, and an image it happens with.
