c_moon Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Not sure if this is a bug, the software has changed a setting, or I have... For the last few beta updates and at least the last full version update, the "update available" prompt on the startup splash screen has not appeared when updates available. I'm on beta 1.9.41048 and full 1.9.2.1035 currently - I've only found out about updates because I searched the forums. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK the current release version is still 1.9.2.1035, and update messages only appear if there is a newer release version.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted May 12, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 12, 2021 I can only suggest looking at your firewall settings on both applications, as there is no setting to block updates, but the app doesn't warn if no internet is found or if it's blocked. The beta is now on 1.9.4.1065 so I suggest that you don't update until you have found the cause, so you can keep checking if you've got it sorted. If you install 1.9.4.1065 you would have to wait for the next beta Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

c_moon Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thanks, Patrick. As far as I can see, my Bitdefender firewall is giving full permissions to Photo, both beta and full - but I'll keep checking. In the meantime, The Affinity Photo Help says this : Software Updates Sets the frequency to which the app will check for any software updates. You can switch off update checking by selecting 'Never' However, I can't find this in Preferences under Edit where Help says this setting is. Does this not exist any more? If it does, perhaps this has been changed somehow... Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_moon Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Well, there you go .. Just logged into Photo Beta and the update available notification popped up - hopefully will continue to. As far as I am aware, nothing has changed my end since last night when I still had the problem. One of life's mysteries ...
