1.9 Constant Black Screen When Editing Image


Recommended Posts

Since upgrading to Affinity Photo 1.9 on Windows 10 20H2, it has become completely unusable. If I open an image or create a new blank canvas, as soon as I interact with the image at all (even just mousing over it), the screen will go black for a few seconds, come back again, then go black again over and over. I turned off hardware acceleration (I have an Nvidia 2080 with the latest drivers installed), but it makes no difference. I downloaded the beta and the problem persists. I have the Windows Store version - is there any way to roll back? I can't use the program at all now.

Before rolling back (if even possible) go into Preferences > Performance and switch the Renderer to Warp (keep hardware acceleration off)

Does that make a difference?

Yes, actually that solved the issue. Thank you so much for the suggestion. Any idea why it does not work with the nvidia renderer?

No sorry, that may be one for the support staff to figure out

Normally graphic card problems are due to graphic card driver issues
