Affinity crash when i try to open a dokument or create a new one


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the forums @FETTESfrettchen,

  • What OS, Mac or Windows?
  • What Graphics Card are you using?

Since there's been problems with the new Hardware Acceleration, OpenCL Compute, I'm guessing it may be your problem.

  • Go to Preferences>Performance, then down at the bottom there's a box beside the Hardware Acceleration Option.
  • It's enabled (checked) by default. Uncheck it.
  • Restart Designer, see if that corrected your problems.

Without knowing what OS you're using, I'm not sure on which forum to refer you to download a Beta version. They have fixed some of the Hardware Acceleration issues in the Beta version. The Beta versions can run alongside the retail versions, so you do not need to uninstall it. Here's where you can find the Beta Forums. Select the appropriate one.

I am using windows 10 Pro. my hardware is a thinkpad W520, with intel i7-2860QM CPU, 16GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Nvidia Quadro 1000M. i can´t enable Hardware Acceleration but i fixed the Problem - i changed the renderer GPU to Microsoft Basic Render Driver - since that it is working.
