scrutinizer Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Affinity Designer crashes when I open my recent documents or create new ones, and fails to open with saved preferences. Crash log attached. macOS 10.14 (Mojave) on MacBook Pro 9,1 Core i7 nVidia 650M. Additionally, running it causes fans to go bonkers. Affinity Designer 1.9 is OK.

Staff Gabe Posted March 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi @scrutinizer, Try this: Go to ~\Library\Application Support\ and rename the 'Affinity Designer' folder to 'Affinity Designer Old'. See if that's any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrutinizer Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 No dice. I removed all support files one by one: at first, it crashed twice upon launch, then at some point it launched as expected but hung when I began tweaking the UI settings. I sampled it during the hang and attaching 2 files: sampling and spindump.

Staff Gabe Posted March 2, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 2, 2021 We've just put a new 1.9.2 beta build on the forums. Can you give that a go please? https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/15-designer-beta-on-mac/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrutinizer Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 This one doesn't crash or hang in Mojave. Never used betas so waiting patiently for the release version.

scrutinizer Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Using my knowledge of regular expressions I unearthed, with Terminal, all Affinity Design files strewn all over the system and deleted all of them except for the application itself and its Containers folder with my preferences. After I restarted Designer no longer hangs and crashes on start, save for random irregular crashes.
