Affinity photo 1.7 was working great. I received the 1.8 update and now my program will not open. It crashes constantly. I've email Affinity but little help has been given. The program opens the logo, opens the background of the app but that's all, it never completes and crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this before I decide to uninstall and reinstall the original affinity software I purchase.

Hi guys!

After the update (1.8) I was able to start the Photo App 2-3 times.
But now it crashes at every attempt to start.
I have tried at least 100 times!!

The same problem affects the Designer and Publisher app.
But after 5-10 attempts these Apps are working.

I also tried to deinstall and reinstall all Apps but the problem still exists. I also tried the Windows build in Reset and Repair function.

Bought and installed via the Windows Store.

Also the 1.7 Versions of all 3 Apps crashes quite often at start.

At the moment, working with these Apps is unfortunately not possible.  

System Info:
Older Version of HP Z400 Workstation
Windows 10 Pro 64bit Version 1909 with the latest updates.
Intel Xeon 3,07 GHz

Hi Mark,

thanks for your quick reply.

Here are the reports (32) as a zip file, as well as the reports for the Designer and Publisher App.

Because the apps are installed via the Windows Store the reports were very hard to find.

I found the files in this location:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto_xxx_xxx\LocalCache\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0 (Store)\CrashReports\reports

maybe this helps someone else who is searching for them.

These are both the 1.8.1 beta crashes (similar to the other crash in 1.8.1, I can't see anything useful). Do you have a crash report for 1.8.0?

Thanks, I've taken a look, but unfortunately like the other reports in this thread, I can't locate the source of the crash. I have a feeling it's related to loading specific fonts, so we may need to get in touch (tomorrow when tech support are back in the office) with regards to getting a list of your installed fonts etc.

I have the same issue. 1.7 runs ok 99% of time. 1.8 ran a couple of times and now does not startup at all. I've save d the dump directy and attached it here.  Reinstalled 1.7 and its fine, excpet fo rthe constant noticiations that a new version is available.

Great program when it runs.

Hi!

As Mark mentioned, it could be a font problem, so I made some screenshots of the installed fonts on my PC. I guess most of them came with some software like the Lexmark printer driver or LibreOffice, … …

After nschalls post I also deleted all fonts I definitely don´t use.
(The red ones in the screenshot) I deleted even more like Asian, Arabic, … Fonts which came with Adobe. Also somewhere around 20 Noto Fonts. (I guess they came with Google Chrome) Unfortunately, not all of the deleted can be seen in the screenshot.

I also used Extensis Suitcase Fusion 6 for my Type1 Fonts.
But for 2-3 years, after a bigger Windows 10 update, it hasn´t worked as expected. So I deinstalled Suitcase Fusion to check if it causes any problems with Affinity.

I also use a second Typemanager www.fontba.se for all the other fonts.

After all those trial an error, the problem still exists. All three Affinity apps crash seconds after I start them. I can´t even open them.

At the start I see the Welcome Screen and the message “Schriften werden geladen…” (reading fonts…) and seconds after this font message disappears, the apps crash.

Interesting fact:

After I deleted the fonts which are marked red in the screenshot all Affinity apps worked as expected. But after a reboot of the system the problem still occurs and working is not possible.

Hi guys!

Here are some new Crash Reports.

These are all made after I deinstalled Suitcase Fusion and all the fonts.

Maybe they differ from the reports before.

I can't get anything useful from these crash dumps. Could you try installing the latest beta and seeing if you still get the crash? If so, can you upload a dump from that?

It may be worth making a new post in the beta forum if so.

Your post was split into it's own thread (this one). 

I saw your first post (last Friday) to the forum needed approval, and rather than add it to the original thread, I split it into it;s own independent thread here, in case the cause was different. 

As you see it got replies including one from Mark the head of Windows development.

Unfortunately I did not appreciate that when users have their posts split into new threads (like yours was) that those users did not automatically follow that new thread, so I doubt you received any of the notifications or replies. Sorry this was my fault. I have now added your name to the "Follow" list for this thread manually

Having the same issue - 

All worked fine until updating to v1.8 (Using Affinity Photo only; Windows 10 Pro with all the latest updates)
