dfantle Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Affinity seemed fairly stable when I first installed it on this computer (Asus ROG Stryx), but has progressively gotten worse and worse, often freezing or just shutting down and disappearing and needing restart very soon after starting to process even simple images. It initially got a bit more stable if I rebooted the computer, but even then, after processing single image, when I closed the completed image and then tried to open a 2nd one to start working on, the program would crash again. I've searched online and tried many of the 'remedies' I've seen, such as turning off hardware acceleration, opening in Windows 8 compatibility mode, closing all other programs, looking through the list of other programs with compatibility issues, resetting the Studio, making sure I had latest version of my OS, drivers, and Affinity Photo, etc. Nothing has helped. Now after opening an image (RAW or already processed), it will crash with doing virtually anything, such as trying to drag or resize a window, make any adjustment, etc. I'm getting so frustrated with it that I'm considering going back to Photoshop Anything else left to try?

walt.farrell Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. What kind of GPU do you have, and what driver level?

Your driver version isn't anything like the ones I see from a Google search, which show 445.87. I'm not sure what that might mean, but as you are on Nvidia, you are not having the problem I thought you might be having.

Hopefully this has taken care of it, but I'll post again if it continues to happen. Lem3 and Walt, thanks a bunch! I really appreciate the help. -Dave walt.farrell and Dan C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
