Using a Mac M1, Ventura 13.2.1 There's a bug in the export preview (.jpg/.png) which shows kind of a transparency in the file. The exported file is fine, no transparency, it's just the preview of Affinity 2 apps. It's not 2.1 Beta-specific, it happened in the Version 2.0, too.

Yes, the slow startup speed of all the V2 Affinity Apps bugs me since the launch of the products. 20 secs to even see the startup screen of the app. The second launch is way faster afterwards, about 5 secs to the startup screen. Maybe it's the verification check (over the internet) if the license is valid that slows down the startup process. I got the feeling that the Beta 2.1 apps are a little faster at startup. But only a few seconds. I love the apps, working with them is quick and snappy. I hope this gets sorted out, that would be awesome. macOS Ventura 13.2.1, Mac Mini M1 16GB

@catezan Yes. Exactly the same. First activation/purchase of the Universal License was done through Affinity Designer V2. Did not activate Publisher and Photo, also not on the iPad. I then purchased the Universal License through Affinity Photo V2. With a different CC. The registration went through flawlessly, I was able to activate all Apps (2 Macs, 1 Tablet). I'm now waiting for the refund of the first purchase by Apple.

Update: People in other threads with the activation problem suggest to klick on purchase. In some cases, the apps recognize the purchase and the license before purchase it the second time. It did not work for me. I went through with purchasing it again and could then activate all the apps (Mac and iPad). The V2 license then also appeared immediately in my Affinity Account. I then applied to Apple to refund the first purchase. That will take about 48 hours, says Apple. ( reportaproblem.apple.com ) Note: First purchase was made with AMEX, the second one with MC. Maybe AMEX has a problem, or the payment provider from Affinity has some issues with AMEX.

Same here. Interestingly, I was able to activate Designer V2, but not Photo V2 and Publisher V2. Payment is still pending, but I got a receipt from Apple for the payment. I don't see a license in my Affinity Store Account though.

Very well done. Congrats.
