Staff Chris B Posted August 27, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hey jpintos, A few of us have tried to reproduce this but we can't - can you share the doc? I noticed it was CMYK but that didn't make a difference for me. Also, can you see if you have a crash report please? Affinity Store version - Go to %AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports\reports Microsoft Store version - Go to %AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0 (Store)\CrashReports\reports You can access the AppData folder by pressing the Windows key + R on your keyboard and then just type %AppData% Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madpeaz Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I am having the same problem with New Pattern layer crashing Affinity. It doesn't take much to make it crash even with the default 32x32 grid. Just create new document, a small 800x600 document will do, go layer>New Pattern Layer - Select the brush tool, reduce brush size and place a dot in the centre of pattern. drop the brush tool, select the Move tool and zoom in & out a few times using the (ctrl) & mouse wheel, then click somewhere on the screen - Kerpoof! It appears to only crash when using (ctrl) & mouse wheel and while the Move tool is selected. Selecting the magnifier tool, the (ctrl) & mouse wheel combination seems to be fine. I've attached the crash report.

telemax Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 1. Create a document 2. Create a blank pixel layer 3. Layer > New Pattern Layer From Selection You have a Pattern Layer created from an empty pixel layer, try to paint on it with a brush. This will cause the program to crash. This has been happening since the first version in which Pattern Layer appeared, at least on Windows. Everything works fine if you create a Pattern Layer from a rasterized rectangle filled with color, or any pixel layer that has pixels. I assume that the failure occurs because the Pattern Layer created from an empty pixel layer has an infinite size 🙂 While the Pattern Layer created from the pixel layer has a certain size. P. S. If you create a Pattern Layer from a rasterized, color-filled rectangle, and then select all and delete, you will get a transparent Pattern Layer, with a certain size, and it will not cause a crash. Thus, it becomes clear that the crash causes an infinite size of the Pattern Layer, not by the presence of transparency.

Ron P. Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 15 hours ago, telemax said: Everything works fine Not so much... I can confirm crashing using telemax's recipe. I also discovered AP will crash by... Create new document Create a shape, then rasterize it. Layer>New Pattern Layer from Selection Click a couple times on the new pattern layer AP goes away...

Staff Chris B Posted August 31, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 31, 2021 Confirmed those crashes here - many thanks Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subclavius Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Is this thread (here) the same as this (which already has fault number afp-4602)? The methods to reproduce the crash look very similar ... By the way APhoto crashes for me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted September 2, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2021 Maybe similar - both those reports have slightly different recipes. One if for interacting with the layer generally which I've struggled to reproduce, the other is for painting on it which crashes each time for me. I'll just let th e developers decide if they are the same thing but it's entirely possible that they are.
