John Milburn Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 SO I just downloaded and installed Affinity Designer, because I wanted to try it out. Everytime I click on new document, and choose a size, the software crashes. Im Not very happy! Quote
Komatös Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Hi, @John Milburnand welcome to the forums. In Designer navigate to Edit -> Prefefences -> Performance and untick hardware acceleration (OCL). Then restart the app. Quote MAC mini M4 | MacOS Sequoia 15.5 | 16 GB RAM | 256 GB SSD AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9060 XT 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.4061) Windows 11 Pro on VMWare Virtual Machine (on Mac) Affinity Suite V 2.6.3 & Beta 2.6 (latest) Interested in a free (selfhosted) PDF Solution?

firstdefence Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 If you are on Mac, Affinity Designer > Preferences or keyboard shortcut ⌘+, then the Performance option. What setting do you have, Metal, OpenGL?

John Milburn Posted June 11, 2022 Author Posted June 11, 2022 @Komatös Thank You, that did seem to load a document now. @firstdefence Im sorry I should have specified, it was late here when I posted, I was tired and not thinking clearly. I am on Windows. Thank You both for you advise. I look forward to giving Affinity a workout. Komatös and firstdefence 2 Quote
