DerPanzerGraf Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Happy Christmas... Just bought Affinity Photo after getting sick of PS and realising Affinity looks to do most things and just a little better and the pricing is perfection... Any way, I'm trying to install and nothing... Program goes to launch and then false starts... Thus far I have: Turned off all Anti-virus Set compatibility to Windows 8 Set compatibility to Windows XP I've tried these setting and launched both as Admin and not... Version number 1.8.5 All my drivers are up to date, and I'm running a: Nvidia 2080Ti 32GB RAM Ryzen 3800X Windows 10 64 bit I've also attached my DxDiag... Cheers for any help... $70 desktop icon is kinda a bummer... DxDiag.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerPanzerGraf Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Figured it out... BUUUUUUUT... Seems like something that should be changed... I sorted it by setting all my display settings to defaults... Go into your "colour management" and the "advanced" tab set it like this... I have no idea why this would work... Buuuuuut, also it seems silly as this is the only time I've ever heard of this being a thing in over 30 years of computering... Nevertheless... So far I am loving the program and it is everything photoshop should have been... On that note... Your program just seems to do everything just a little better... I am very impressed... Again over 30 years of computering... Love it! But... Yeah... The above seems... Odd... Maybe if a Dev has a full rundown of why this is a thing? I'm a "Know how it works, or why it doesn't" kinda person... Cheers! Chris B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Windows 20H2 changed the display profile to a virtual one, and the Affinity applications were not prepared for that. It's fixed in the 1.9 beta, and will be part of the 1.9 retail release when it's made available.
