Westerwälder Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Google übersetzer After downloading and installing Photo 1.9.2, Affinity Photo freezes when opening one or more jpg files. Even after the Open CL acceleration is turned off! I installed 1.9.1 again, everything works again! The request to download at the start is annoying! Nach dem Download und Installieren von Photo 1.9.2 friert Affinity Photo ein wenn ein oder Mehrere Jpg Dateien geöffnet werden. Auch nach dem Open CL Beschleunigung abgestellt ist! Habe wieder 1.9.1 installiert alles geht wieder! Lästig ist die Auforderung zum Download beim Start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anisah Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I am experiencing the exact same problem. Downloaded the v 1.9.2 update, installed it and now Afiinity Photo will not even start. Get a message each time I try that it has stopped working. This is the same with both JPEG and RAW files. Any ideas, or do I have to reinstall v 1.9.1 and keep that? The update looks useful, but only if it can be used. I also agree with the OP that the reminder that there is an update available can be quite annoying.

anisah Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 PS I have attempted to repair the update by reinstalling, but this has made no difference which might suggest that there is an additional problem with the release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anisah Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Unfortunately the suggestions do not help. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and have never experienced any problems with updates not working - for program. All drivers are as up to date as possible and there are no problems with the system. I have reinstalled v 1.9.1 and it works perfectly. Westerwälder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerwälder Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 @Komatös An den Jpg und an den Dateien kann es nicht liegen denn alle anderen Programme arbeiten mit den Dateien, es muss wieder mal ein Fehler in Affinity Photo 1.9.2. ---- sein. Denn unter 1.9.1.979 funktioniert es ja. Hier ist wohl bei Affinity wieder ein Fehler. Ich mag dieses Programm aber diese Fehler in den Updates sind ganz einfach nicht gut!

Komatös Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 @Friedhelm Benner Moin Moin, dann hier mal direkt auf deutsch. Also ich nutze auch Windows 10 Pro x64 und habe keine derartigen Fehler. Bitte öffne einmal die "Eingabeaufforderung" oder Windows PowerShell. Die erreichst Du indem Du mit der rechten Maustaste auf das Windowssymbol klickst. Dann startest Du die Eingabeaufforderung oder PowerShell als Administrator. Gebe nun den Befehl sfc /scannow ein.

Staff Gabe Posted March 31, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi all, We are aware of a Windows 7 issue and crashing on startup. For the meantime I suggest you roll back to 1.9.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anisah Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Gabe - Thank you for your comment much appreciated. There are still a lot of people like myself who are using Windows 7 as they don't like the idea of Microsoft telling us what to download and when with updates, etc. Neither do I like the spyware built into Windows 10, so, until such time as Microsoft lets me run my computer the way I like, I will continue with Windows 7. I buy an operating system from them - it does not give them permission to tell me how to do things. Hope you can find a way to fix the glitch with Windows 7 as I am very fond of Affinity Photo. Having changed from Adobe Photoshop I would not go back as I can do so much more and get the results I want with AP. Great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted April 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 1, 2021 @anisah Looks like this is caused by an out-of-date Windows 7 installation. Make sure you've got all updates available through Windows Update installed and it will not crash. @Friedhelm Benner No need to create a new thread as the Windows 7 issue is sorted here. Please just update this post using the template in that link. PaulAffinity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westerwälder Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 @Gabe I wrote the first post here, I don't have Win 7, the computer has never seen Win 7! I never wrote about Win 7! Everything has worked so far, so this is a bug in Photo Ich habe den ersten Beitrag hier geschrieben, ich habe kein Win 7 der Rechner hat noch nie Win 7 gesehen! Ich habe nie von Win 7 geschrieben!

anisah Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hi Gabe - thank you for the response, but it is very unhelpful. Firstly the "Tech Specs", on the Serif Affinity Photo website state that this is what is required: " Windows® 7 (Service Pack 1; Aero enabled)", which is the OS that I am using. No mention is made of other updates or any other requirements, save those of the computer hardware, which my system far exceeds. If what you say is accurate, this is very misleading To not state which specific additional updates are required is most unhelpful and is likely to affect many more users than just myself, and is likely to deter others. Secondly why should v1.9.1 work extremely well without the updates, then, all of a sudden, with no warning, v1.9.2, which is a useful, but not major update, not work without ALL updates? This would appear to be illogical and requires further explanation. There are many users, like myself, who do not want to download all updates to a system that is already bloatware and also for the well known reason that very many of the updates are for the benefit of the manufacturer rather than the user. Even the security updates can be side-stepped by the use of a very effective antivirus program and a good quality third party firewall - these being much safer than the built in Microsoft alternatives. It would be appreciated if you would provide further explanation as to the points made above, especially which specific updates are now required for the program to operate, as, according to the technical specifications my computer system far exceeds the published requirements.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted April 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 1, 2021 1 hour ago, anisah said: There are many users, like myself, who do not want to download all updates to a system There are not many users who are not willing to update their systems with the security updates, and most do trust in the operating system they license use of and rely on. It is currently unclear to us what has changed, we have not deliberately changed the specification or knowingly added any specific functionality between 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 to require the updates, we are simply stating that the updates will resolve this for you. So sorry we do not have a better explanation, but either way we would always suggest customers install the latest updates to the OS. We are still looking into this crash, but so far it does not seem to be a change we have made. I doubt that you need ALL the updates, but we do know that when we installed all the updates on a clean Windows 7 the software started working. I suspect you only need some of them but we cannot say which those are , sorry. I would expect the minimum spec on our site should always have said "including the latest updates". For example we moved our minimum spec from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 because we require a version of .NET that would not run on vanilla Windows 8. We did not have lots of users saying they did not trust 8.1 and missing out on the Affinity software patches. Serif cannot support our software on all possible combinations of not updated or half updated operating systems, it would be impossible to test. To some extent I am surprised that 1.9.1 was working for you. If you simply update the OS, the software will work. You choosing not to update your windows 7 may mean you cannot update to 1.9.2 but that is your choice.

Westerwälder Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Verflixt wer setzt denn immer noch das schon lange überalterte Win 7 ein. Die Nutzer gehören bestraft! Wieso hängt der Win7 Benutzer sich in diese Frage, ich finde das als eine Frechheit mit einem System welsches nicht mehr unterstützt wird und mittlerweile eine Virusschleuder ist, weiter zu Arbeiten. Das musste jetzt mal raus sonst wachsen mir noch mehr graue Haare.

Ich begreife es nicht! Das einzige was ich nicht habe, ist ein Audio Treiber der bei mir einen Fehler verursachte! Ich warte jetzt bis zum nächsten Update von Affinity Damn who is still using the long outdated Win 7? The users should be punished! Why does the Win7 user depend on this question, I think it's a cheek with a system that is no longer supported and is now a virus sling to continue working. That had to get out now, otherwise my hair will grow even more gray.

Eine Anmerkung noch, mich hat geärgert dass dieser Win7 Nutzer sich in meine Fragestellung eingemischt hat! Warum unterstützt Affinity noch Win7. Alle anderen Programme die aktuell sind arbeiten nicht mehr mit Windows 7! I use Win10Prof with the version: 20H2 Never again Win7 because it is totally outdated and no longer up-to-date.

Now that an update was shown to me this evening, Affinity Photo 1.9.2.1035 is also running without any problems! So much ado about nothing! Still thanks to everyone who tried to help !! One more note, I was annoyed that this Win7 user interfered in my question! Why does Affinity still support Win7. All other programs that are currently no longer work with Windows 7!

If so, disable it and see if that resolves your problem. If it does, then you probably have a problem with your graphics (GPU) drivers.
