BSOD on save for new and already existing files
aaaaaaaaa posted a topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Hello, I've come across an issue in which Publisher seems to be crashing Windows upon trying to save a document. I'm guessing that it's due to some update that Microsoft released over the weekend as everything was fine last week and nothing else that I know of had changed. To reproduce: Open Publisher Create a new document or open an existing document Attempt to save After choosing a location and name and pressing the save button, Windows crashes. The BSOD claims that cldflt.sys failed, giving a stop code of SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. The file does end up getting created, but trying to open it afterwards gives a "file type not supported" error. The bug happened every time I tried to save, regardless of whether the file being saved was already in existence or new. A little poking around on the web suggested that uninstalling cloud services might help, so I tried removing OneDrive and sync services with Google. This did nothing. In the end, the only thing I was able to do to get everything working again was to roll back to a backup from before this weekend's OS updates happened. The provided file is what was produced from one occurrence of the issue. Thanks, Dan. Test.afpub -
Just FYI, I rebooted my Windows 10 laptop this morning to finish installing Windows update KB4517389, and after that I experienced several Windows failures, BSOD when using the menus in the Affinity applications. Once in Photo (don't remember what menu I item I clicked) and twice in Publisher using Text > Show Special Characters. The failures pointed to ddflt.sys (or, perhaps, cldflt.sys) After removing that update things are working smoothly again. I understand that it is most likely an error in that Windows Update, and not in the Affinity Applications. I am not finding anything via Google (yet) about errors in that update.

We've had users report that when trying to launch our apps on Windows they're getting a Blue Screen of Death message relating to cldflt.sys. This is also affecting other apps including Microsoft's Visual Studio as reported on the Microsoft Developer Forums. This BSOD error started appearing after Microsoft released the Windows 10 KB4517389 update. Microsoft released a Windows 10 update on 10/12/19 (KB4530684) which includes the below fix. Please download and install this update and try opening the Affinity app again to see if your issue is resolved. Addresses an issue that might cause error 0x3B in cldflt.sys on some devices.

It seems my BSOD post has sparked a lively discussion resulting in a lot of thoughtful input. Even with my limited knowledge, I can see what a complex issue this is with no easy solutions . Meanwhile back at the ranch, attached is my BSOD report from today. I also include an image of what I was doing in AP, putting together a presentation of how to identify old Art Nouveau tiles, I managed to do the one slide before the crash. Because of the deadline, nothing for it but to go back to Photoshop, I have just completed fifteen more slides with no problem.

Hi @Richard H, Welcome to the Affinity Forums Sorry to see you're having trouble & our apologies for the delayed response here! As Walt previously confirmed: The Affinity applications aren't able to directly cause a BSOD error - however it's certainly possible the app is using hardware/software that other apps aren't using, which triggers the issue within Windows. I'd recommend also using Windows Reliability Monitor as this may contain more information as to the cause of this, however the error messages/event viewer screenshots provided do seem to point to a potential hardware issue. It may be the internal iGPU within your Intel CPU causing this issue, so please make sure these drivers are also up to date, alongside your Nvidia drivers. Equally, please check for any BIOS updates from the manufacturer, as these can also reduce BSOD errors. I hope this helps!

Are you getting anything from the Windows Event Log around the time of the BSOD? That may provide more information about what's going on. I'm not sure exactly what effect switching to WARP has. It does some processing using software, not the GPU, but I don't know the details of what that means. Obviously the GPU must still be involved somewhere in getting the image on to the screen. Probably not, but you may have some hardware, firmware, or overclocking issue that you aren't finding with your other applications. The list of what can cause that BSOD error is pretty long: https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/clock-watchdog-timeout-error-fixed/

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. The .dmp file seems to indicate a problem in libraster.dll which is (I think) part of the Affinity application. However, the Affinity applications cannot directly cause BSOD errors, as they run with application privileges, and BSODs indicate that something running with elevated (System) privileges has had a fault. When you get a BSOD it generally either means you have a hardware issue, or more likely (with the Affinity applications) a GPU Driver issue. Have you checked to see if your GPU drivers are up-to-date?

Affinity Photo keeps crashing on Windows 11
Komatös replied to ceesrijken's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Hi, @shaprackand welcome to the forums. If the laptop produces a BSOD, it is not due to Affinity Photo but to another device driver, another software component running in the background or even a hardware problem. It would be interesting to know the error code that is displayed when a BSOD occurs. -
Hi Kaltzboy, The Affinity applications aren't able to cause a BSOD, as they are user-mode applications. Only kernel-mode applications (i.e. drivers) are capable of that. I would recommend trying the solutions provided by Hens in most cases this can be caused by a GPU driver so perhaps ensure that you have reinstalled the latest version and if the BSOD still persists perhaps try rolling back to an older driver. Thanks C

Hi, Seems it is quite easy to produce a BSOD with the latest NVIDIA drivers as in this thread I reported earlier for the Production Version: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/43230-ap-15269-bsod-after-update-nvidia-driver-38476/ In this case it was resizing a transparent layer beyond the bounds of the image (i.e. a frame) and changing the blend mode. The image is 500MB+ if you want. Again no problem with the Intel GPU as the base.

Affinity Designer (Windows) Crashes on Export
Dan C replied to Garret Rain's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
That's certainly an interesting development - I can confirm the Affinity apps are not capable of directly causing a BSOD, so this is a good indication of the issue causing the crashing, but confirms it's not the Affinity app itself at fault. The majority of information online for this stop code shown refer to System Files or drivers - both of which we've already checked above. Therefore can you please restart the machine in Safe Mode, then try these steps once more for me? -
Affinity Designer (Windows) Crashes on Export
Dan C replied to Garret Rain's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Thanks for confirming that for me - it's very likely the crashing in Designer upon export is caused by the same issue that triggers the BSOD, but we can certainly double check for you. Firstly, can you please open Windows Run (Windows Key + R) then paste the following string and press OK: %AppData%\Affinity\Designer\1.0\CrashReports\reports In the window that opens, please select the 3 most recently created .DMP files, then upload these to your reply here. Secondly, we're aware of the latest Windows updates causing crashing in WPF apps, including Affinity - please check the following FAQ for more information and steps on how to remove this update to stop the crashing - Many thanks in advance! -
Affinity Designer Crashes When Opening Any File
LuggageGuy replied to tarms's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Similar problem here. Both Designer and Photo are opening to the app, then immediately closing. By app, I mean it's they are getting past the splash screen, and look ready for me to start working. I don't even get to click on any menus before they close out. No error messages. Reinstalled Photo, no change Tried to run from .exe as Admin. No change. Attached .dmp files for both. Modified dates are not recent. I have been having a problem of the whole computer randomly shutting off with a BSOD. Dell is shipping a new part (memory, if I recall corectly) The behaviour of Photo and Designer is new. Rest of apps on the machine are working.

Installation corrupted after exporting file
jseawater replied to jseawater's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
I will try that, I updated bios a few months ago, it is possible it is just a coincidence that I was exporting a file when the BSoD occurred, My system is the first graphics focused machine I have had so it bit of a mashup of parts, I am running a HP z220 work station with 32GB ram intel i7-3770 & dual Nvidia GeForce GT 710. This is one of the first times actually loading the machine properly as I just upgraded from an older Dell gaming rig,(same time as I updated bios) I had some stability issues where the machine would complete crash & BSoD randomly when I first got it, do you think they may be related? Thank for the advice though. -
Installation corrupted after exporting file
Chris B replied to jseawater's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Hey jseawater, If you got the blue screen (BSoD) then that suggests a catastrophic hardware or driver failure somewhere. Affinity is not capable of actually causing a BSoD. I'd recommend removing your graphics drivers and installing fresh ones - do not simply check for updates and install those. -
Thanks for the instructions. I already tried all following steps, did not help. - uninstalled the OneDrive - restart, test, BSOD - installed OneDrive from the Store - restart, test, BSOD - uninstalled OneDrive from the Store - restart, test, BSOD - installed OneDrive for Business, on the Outlook 365 package - restart, test, BSOD My laptop is on a hosted business environment, so I may not have found all possible cloud systems. I'd rather not touch on the Sharepoint... Complete system reinstall would take two days (due to some of the special work related software), so that is not an option. I have already spent too much time on trying to solve this issue, it is smarter to wait for updates that fix the issue or use the expensive alternative that does not break my workflow.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my various messages. I ran the sfc scan as suggested. In fact I had to run it twice, because the window closes by itself when the scan finishes (which I think is odd), so if you aren't watching it you don't know what happened. Anyway, the second time I sat and watched and it reached 100% without any error messages. As to the bugcheck, almost all those I ever remember seeing were due to an attempt to address an illegal location. Presumably the error must occur in the execution of system code (as you suggest, a driver or service), otherwise the application could crash and not the whole O/S. However, as the bugcheck occurred whilst Affinity was in a blocked state, and the blockage occurred twice when attempting "Refine" on the same area of the same image, I would still put money on a bug in Affinity. Presumably it makes a system call with illegal parameters which are not checked ? (If I remember, the European Space Agency crashed their first Ariane 5 launch by not checking the range of an input parameter.) I guess the most sensible thing for me to do is to wait and see if I get a BSOD in any other circumstances before digging deeper, although it would be interesting for someone from Affinity to try to replicate what I did as I sent the jpeg and details of what provokes the problem. Irrespective of the BSOD, the fact that Affinity blocked twice at the same point surely indicates that there is a bug in their code, especially as I was not the first person the see a problem like this? Schönes wochenende, David M.

Of cause I disagree, since software always runs on hardware and as you should know better, a piece of software (an app/program) can be the root cause for a BSOD. So it doen't matter if you write "indirectly" or not, there are plenty of examples how a software can do so, either intentionally or due to programming faults. And since in such cases the software is the cause and origin there is no indirectly, as the machine (the hardware) woudln't crash otherwise when running a well programmed/ behaving software.
