Constant crashes

[56_kruiser]

I cannot say that this problem started with upgrade to v 1.10.4.1198 because I haven't been editing for a while. But over the past 3 days, I upgraded and then have been working a lot on a project. I am finding frequent crashes are biting at my ankles.

It is interesting, because it seems what has failed is response to clicks, attempted selections, etc. But the menu responds. But anything I try to do through the menu does not work. It's like everything is frozen except for opening and making selections on the menu, but nothing responds.

So here is how I am using the program which is making this happen: I am using it somewhat like Adobe Illustrator. I will put a rectangle on the screen, use the points ruler to make certain sizes, move it to a place, put a text box on top and group. Later I may edit the size of the box. etc. I have been finding this freeze problem often. Once in a while it will have a auto saved version for me to open, but it does not offer that up unless I try to open the file I was working on.

Any thoughts? Should I roll back to a previous version? (Not sure best method to do that).

It would probably help to know for which Affinity app and under which used OS you encounter the crashes here?

Turn OpenCL acceleration off if it is on (the default) Edit->Preferences->Performance.

Sorry. I thought I had my app listed in my sig. Affinity Photo, on Windows 10.

Another strange thing, I uninstalled the version I had, and installed v 1.6.5.135, supposedly, but checking now after more crashses, it shows 1.10.0.1127😜

So, I just went in and turned off OpenCL acceleration. I'll post back how it goes.

Thanks for the replies folks.
