Recommended Posts

thank you for your answer but I am not competent enough to solve the problem on my own I bought a product and it does not work so like any after-sales service you have to provide troubleshooting - currently when I open affinity I have a black screen and nothing happens
thank you

Please check my link above and see whether you have any of the applications installed (e.g. Duet Display). I can't look at your machine and do that for you.

What happens when you click on the Create button in the bottom right? It should open a new document with the size you have selected. OR you can just double-click on the document size you have selected.

This sounds like you have some software installed on your system which is breaking the rendering of the UI. I've seen this before with Duet Display.

Try starting the application with the --no-hw-ui command line parameter to see if this solves the problem.

Hi @benjack,

My sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, unfortunately as this was originally posted into the bugs section of the forums, our QA team had to re-assign the 'ticket' to the Technical support team and this has caused a slightly longer response time for this post, my apologies.

Please do try the above suggestions recommended by Mark and let us know how this goes, as we're happy to help resolving this issue for you.

Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.

If you require urgent assistance, please create a new thread and a member of our team will be sure to assist asap.

Many thanks :)

HW spec (or name/model of your computer) ? OS and update version ? Drivers? does affinity need some version of redistribute (c++)? exporting dxdiag? screenshot of your running apps from system tray or windows task manager -> processes?

In system tray if some app is there from motherboard, sound card, ssd drive or something try to exit/quit/close all you can

The OP has been using the product for more than a year, so it’s much too late for that!

Thank you for the screenshots. Please also tell us your system specs, otherwise there is little chance of identifying the cause of the problem.
