GraphicDesigner Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hello all, I have an issue where my file crashes instantly upon loading. I am using Affinity Publisher Beta 1.8.0.523. Upon doing some research, I discovered this happens because of some bug with linked files as described over here. I tried solving the issue by renaming the rogue file. Now Affinity Publisher loads the file and shows me the "resource missing" prompt, but no matter which button I choose it just crashes. What can I do? I need to submit this project soon.

Did you not believe this warning in the download post? Quote As this is a 'Stability and General Testing' beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents.

What can I do? Are you able to upload the file to the forum? To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the document is saved in the beta it won't open in the (older) released version any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphicDesigner Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Looks like this is fixed on the latest beta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted January 28, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi @GraphicDesigner, Bit late here (even though it's fixed now), but did this file originate in 1.7.3 or was it created in the beta? Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
