Affinity Photo 1.9.2 crashes constantly on Windows


Recommended Posts

I have plenty of free disk space.

I have Windows 10 Pro

I tried rebooting yes, and a different browser yes (kidding on this last one)

Affinity photo keeps crashing even under very simple images, small images, usually while using a brush tool or filter preview.

I don't know what might be happening, I don't have any weird setup, or how can I help you guys to debug it.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @NeoOcm.

It is likely that you are having problems with the new Hardware Acceleration function using OpenCL that Affinity includes in 1.9. This is enabled by default if your GPU drivers claim to support it, but some of those drivers have problems in their implementation.

If you open your Photo Preferences (Edit > Preferences) and click on Performance, you'll find the Hardware Acceleration (OpenCL) setting near the bottom of the list. You can try turning it off and see if that resolves the problem for you.

If so, you may want to update your GPU drivers. You can find some instructions for that in this post:
