All of my installed raster brushes (including Affinity's default raster brushes) have disappeared from Affinity designer v2 and Photo v2. If I try to import them I get an error message "Error Importing Brushes". When I upgraded to the version 2 Affinity Programs, I uninstalled the version 1 Programs.The brushes displayed properly when I updated to version 2.0.3 but now (a few weeks later) they have vanished and I am unable to import them. I have noticed that IPad users have experienced this problem but I haven't been able to find a thread with the problem on desktop or laptop. I am running Affinity Designer 2.0.3 and Affinity Photo 2.0.3 on an Acer Nitro 5 laptop (Windows 11). Hardware Acceleration: On. Tablet: Wacom Intuos BT M (Model# CTL6100WL). Please advise a solution to this issue or if you need additional information from me.

Hi I have both versions of Affinity and have quite a few brush packs , from affinity and from true grit etc and up to today they all worked perfect. Today Affinity 2 crashed and went off and when I started it back up the pixel brushes had totally disappeared. I have uninstalled/installed the program 3 times , the vector brushes are there but the pixel ones are not. Even when I go to my account to download the ones I got from there they show downloading then nothing is there , when I try to import them it shows a message "error importing brushes "! there isnt any brushes in photo either !I haven't a clue what's wrong or what to do ! have you got any ideas what it could be, the vector brushes are working and importing but the pixel brushes are not importing or downloading from the Affinity site either
