SPaceBar Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi @Anwar_ I've moved your comment to a new thread so it doesn't get confusing. Are you also having problems opening older Designer files? If so can you upload them here please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmator Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hi, I also have a problem opening older files. It seems that this issue is with files that are over 20 MB size because other smaller older files can be opened without Affinity Designer crashing. I try to open the attached file. AD crashes almost immediately. I tried to find a report, see it attached to my message too. My version of Affinity Designer for desktop is 1.10.1.1142 and OS is MS Win 10 Home v 10.0.19043. biblicke pribehy - ilustrace - noe 20200129 stiny.afdesign 57f6f1e1-2b64-4680-9028-cbe1de88106d.dmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hello @Filmator welcome to the forums. Please make a fresh install from the gpu drivers. Use DDU (https://www.wagnardsoft.com/DDU/download/DDU v18.0.4.4.exe) to uninstall to ensure that all old driver files are deleted.

SPaceBar Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hi @Filmator Welcome to the Affinity forums! I wasn't able to recreate your crash. Let us know if it's still happening when you've updated your drivers as per @Komatös's advice above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmator Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Thank you @Komatös and @SPaceBar. I spent some time uninstalling and updating drivers, I used DDU as recommended. The file still crashes Designer. I tried to open the file with iPad. This worked, so I saved the file as a new one. Then I successfully opened the "new" file on the desktop computer. Which is fine 🙂 but does not solve the problem for those who do not have an iPad... 😄 Komatös and SPaceBar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 @Filmator Thanks for sharing your workaround. The issue has been logged already and the development team are aware of it. Filmator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 @Filmator You should also check if a Windows system component is corrupt. To do so press Windows key + X, choose CMD (Administrator). Type sfc /scannow in the new Window and press Enter.
