Affinity V1 Support


Recommended Posts

I'm curious, i have been waiting for months for an update to the original software that I purchased from Serif/Affinity and it's been broken the entire time I have used it.  Random Crashes, CTD switching fonts, Accelerated Graphics issues, errors with nearly every feature of the interface.  I have installed it on PC's from Intel to AMD with multiple Builds and OS'es. 

Does Affinity plan on supporting the old software or has it been dumped?

Looks like the price for continued support is 99 Bucks for the updates I required for V1... Just seeing a lot of bugs in the release here on the forums that it makes me wonder if I'm just buying into the same issues again.

V1 is already dumped by Affinity. So you won't get any updates or bug fixes. If you purchase v2 you will get updates and bug fixes for v2. So there isn't any upgrade program for existing customers. Affinity treats same for both old and new customers. In Affinity we are a new customer in their every major release. That is sad.

I don't think we know that for sure, yet.

I'm guessing here but I was specifically told in the beta forums that "the big thing" they were working on was an ultimate patch for my version of the software (V1)... Or at least that is what they led us to believe (and I waited almost 6 months to find out it was "buy the new stuff"),  For me, who has been onboard with them since Page Plus ... Publisher has never been stable and that makes very unhappy.  

Regardless, I bought the new suite.  If 99 dollars is the price for stability and continued support, so be it.  The V2 Publisher is fast, polished and stable as far as I can tell thus far.  It's everything the V1 edition should have been.  

Looks like everyone is going to a 3 year replacement cycle or subscription basis for software support and advancements.  It had to happen to Serif too... You can't survive against the bigger players without making money.  If their software releases are supported forever... That's not good for them.  I understand that.  

Hope V2 is everything I wanted V1 to be
