rvst Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Affinity photo 1 starts up in 4.1 seconds Affinity photo 2 starts up in 11.6 seconds I don't even see the splash screen until just after the 6 second mark. This 11.6 second startup time is on a 16 core Ryzen 5950x overclocked to 5Ghz with 128GB RAM and a Samsung 980 Pro nvme SSD, so I'm pretty sure its starting a lot slower on most people's machines. That's a very slow startup time for Affinity 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culturalproduct Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Just FYI - startup for V2 Photo on a MacBook M1 is 4 seconds ish. At 4 seconds I'm looking at the app and the open dialogue panel. rvst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affinity made the incomprehensible decision to move the app architecture in Windows to a Windows App. It's not a normal Windows program. The fact that it starts so much quicker on Mac is probably a good indication that this app architecture change in Windows is the reason for the slow startup time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvst Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Ok, once I unsandboxed the app using the script I posted in another thread, launch times are now similar for Affinity 1 and Affinity 2. I timed unsandboxed Affinity 2 to a 4.2 second launch time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shushustorm Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 About 40% increased startup time on 2015 MBP: V1: 5sec, V2: 7sec. Not sure it's the OS, though. Running V1 on High Sierra, V2 on Monterey. On iPad mini 5, V1 and V2 are quite similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 5, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hi @rvst, We now have a MSI/EXE installer which you can install and its unsandboxed by default, see here for more on that. It's better than running a unsandboxed MSIX version, which isn't a supported method of install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're replying to something from the beginning of November, but thanks for the heads up anyway. I was aware when unsandboxing it that it wasn't supported.
