Allan Niklas Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I installed and registered my three new Version 2 programmes yesterday. I also had the chance to work with them, yesterday. This evening 11/11/22 I wanted to play a bit with them and they do not initialize. They do not load fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_Sijbolts Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Could you maybe share your specifications and indeed - as Walt said - try booting only one program first.

Allan Niklas Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Thank you for the ideas. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4820K CPU @ 3.70GHz 32 GB RAM Windows 10 Home 22H2 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0 RTX 3050 latest driver installed Starting one application after the other - tried it. Any application gets stuck at the same "point". What I haven't tried yet: Uninstalling, clearing all AppData-Folders like "locallow" and "roaming" and the other one and trying a clean new installation. Although I doubt that this method will help.

Allan Niklas Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Figured out, that Kaspersky Internet Security is blocking the communication. When I turn it off, Affinity is able to connect to the Affinity-Servers. -> A message that says "Affinity Publisher/Photo/Designer cannot communicate to the Affinity-Servers." might be helpful. 😀 debraspicher and Sean P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Borg Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hi guys, I am going thru the exact same thing. I am only working for about 3-5 minutes if i am lucky and designer 2 and photo 2 crashes and this is on just a 2 page document, with text and a few pics. Plus every single time I reboot Designer 2 and Photo 2, I always get the Not Responding message when both apps are just booting up and both apps take forever to boot up. But if I actually touch anything both just crash instantly. I am running a WINDOWS 11 i9 9900X CORE X CPU 10 CORES / 20 THREADS ASUS RAMPAGE 6 EXTREME MOTHERBOARD 64 GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR3 3600 RAM NVIDIA RTX2082 GRAPHICS CARD CORSAIR HX1000 WATT POWER SUPPLY 5XSAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 2TB SSD NVME DRIVES I never had these problems with Designer 1 and its a real shame because i have been looking forward to these Package 2 I am just totally lost and have tried everything I can think of. cheers kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Niklas Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Have you tried working without any anti virus or firewall protection? Because this is a different issue than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
