APh 1.10.3 repeatable crash - "pointer being freed was not allocated"


BeauRX

Recommended Posts

The aphoto file was created last night with 1.10.1(?) and saved. I updated to APh 1.10.3 this morning and loaded the file fine, but at first interaction APh repeatably crashes. The original JPG was from a GoPro.

This does not happen on the 1.10.2.266 beta.

Attached

  1. OS crash report (seems to have all the config info)
  2. debug log? (just popped up on terminal one point)
  3. aphoto file

Let me know if you need further info. Thx

I have not been able to replicate this issue on my iMac can you please try turning off the Metal compute option in the Performance section of Affinity Photos Preferences and then change the display option from Metal to OpenGL

The hang does not occur with the settings

  • Display: OpenGL 
  • Hardware Acceleration: Enable Metal compute acceleration = unchecked

There is also no hang with 

  • Display: Metal 
  • Hardware Acceleration: Enable Metal compute acceleration = unchecked

I guess this is the first diagnostic check to run in the future for hangs/crashes.

Since you cannot reproduce it, one other thing I did recently was delete the MAS version of Photo and buy/install from the Affinity Store. Not sure if there is some setup/config cross contamination?

This is a more comprehensive bug. In my case, hangs and outright crashes are when I'm trying to apply noise reduction to Canon CR2 files in initial develop mode. It's practically unusable at the moment for me. (Big Sur 11.16 / Intel)

Yes, turning off all the performance enhancements seems to avoid the crash. However, just turning off using the discrete GPU does NOT solve the issue; one must turn off Metal entirely. 😐
