Ratty Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hey everybody, I just had a massive headache with Affinity causing a crash to desktop whenever I created a new file, opened an old one, or opened the brush panel. I've worked out that it seems the update might have been enabling 'Hardware acceleration > Use OpenCL...'. (I assume it's the update because I didn't change any settings in Affinity, but maybe something changed in my comp?) If you're having a crash to desktop, check that this option hasn't been automatically enabled. I hope that might help anybody out there.

Due to the numerous problems it caused (and after a negative experience with Metal - a similar feature on the Mac, it was really to be expected), it should have been turned off by default, and turned on only at the request of experienced user, who is aware possible problems.
