Affinity Photo 2 crashing display

[MDev]

When using Affinity 2 with the renderer set to my NVidia card, the display will constantly crash and go black with each movement of the mouse on the canvas.  Setting it to the WARP renderer fixes the problem.

I'm using the latest NVidia studio driver with a 3080ti graphics card running on Win 10 22H2.  The system is using an AMD 7950X CPU with 128GB of RAM.

I didn't have this issue with Affinity Photo 1.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Hello,

I've got the same problem - tried Affinity 2 for the first time today.

It keeps crashing after a while when using my 3090 as a renderer. If i switch to warp, i didnt get system crashes or bluescreens (at least until now).

This happens both in photo as in designer.

Do you have hardware acceleration on? If so maybe turn it off.

Thanks for your reply! I already tried that - but even without hardware acceleartion it kept crashing.

I hope that the switch to this WARP-Renderer fixed it - but i only worked about half an hour with it until now, so i am not 100% convinced yet.

What makes me wonder is the kind of crash Affinity triggers - screens go black, computer restarts. Once i had a bluescreen with "Video Sheduler Internal Error".

Other programs dont crash, so i'm ruling out real hardware failures for now.

 

I hope it runs stable now or there will be an update (i dont feel any performance issues without the 3090 as renderer, but it feels like im not using 100% of the hardware capabilities) - so far i really like the affinity suite at first glance.

If you can post the crash reports it might help them sort it out. I think they have quite a backlog so it may take a while.
