peja Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Yesterday I installed the whole V2 suite using the universal license on Ventura 13.0.1 - startup time on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra was ca. 2 seconds for Publisher/Designer/Photo. Today the first start of all apps fell back to 15 seconds, the second start was 2 seconds. I thought this nerve wrecking problem should be solved by Ventura / Affinity V2. Am I alone with this problem? Quote
MikeTO Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 I'm on a MacBook M1 Pro and it's 2 seconds to start any of the v2 apps, regardless of whether I have just rebooted macOS or I had previously open and quit the apps during this session. I don't know why it would be longer with a Studio M1 Ultra so I can't offer any help.

Dan C Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 Hi Peja, This is due to the sandbox creation process for app store apps, and is something Apple have still not resolved. Lee Quote
A_B_C Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 Oh my … is there nothing you can do about this, Lee? On a 2019 Intel Mac, you can wait for almost half a minute sometimes. Does the sandbox have to be created every time after shutting down and starting up the computer anew? 🙂 (Sorry for that probably somewhat naive question.) Quote
peja Posted November 22, 2022 Author Posted November 22, 2022 Hi Lee, I am not using the app store versions - I use the Affinity Store download versions. If this is caused by the sandbox creation process of macOS - why is only the Affinity Suite affected (and not all other software)? I always shutdown the computer. Currently the problem happens every few days/times when I startup. I have not found any pattern as to why/when it happens. Peter A_B_C 1 Quote
lehrlich Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 Same here (perhaps to add another data-point): If I launch Affinity Photo 2 (or Affinity Designer 2) after ... some days.. of dormancy or after power-up, then it takes 20-30 seconds to startup! Once it's up, I close the app, re-launch it and: bang, it's up and running in 2 seconds. Clearly "something" is written to cache somewhere and allows the app to launch fast but after ... days?... that cache is cleared and it takes a long time to launch again. I have a MacAir M1, 2020, 16gb Mem, running macOS Monterey 12.6 and Affinity Photo2/Designer v2.0.0 was loaded from App Store. PS: since I read this "sandboxing" discussion... for what it's worth... no other app, apple-native (iMovie, Photos, etc) nor non-apple (MS Excel, MS Word) exhibits this lag. It's clearly an "Affinity thing", imho. A_B_C 1 Quote
