Stuck in Loading Document

[cuplakadut]

Does anyone have the same issue in the Affinity Publisher v2?
This is my second issues this week, stuck when opening the .afpub document.
This document has more than 1000 pages, file size is less than 9MB. 
I waited for more than 30 minutes and the document was not open in the Affinity Publisher.

I use Macbook Pro Retina mid-2012 dual VGA with 8GB RAM and macos Catalina.
The afpub document are stored in a local drive (MacBook SSD).

TIA

Your file opens on screen for me in 44 Seconds, with a further 105 seconds until Task Manager's CPU settles to normal

Although I can open your file relatively quickly, if I create a new one page document and try to import (Add pages from file option) just 2 pages from your file it takes over 10 minutes - so something is wrong somewhere!

You have 95 master pages with most being "attached" to another master page, which may be the underlying cause of the issues

I tried for about an hour to see what is going on but my brain started to have suicidal thoughts. So, I'm out!

Hopefully someone else can assist you further

I agree with Carl123 in that the underlying cause may be the shear number of Master Pages being applied to other Masters and then multiple Masters being applied to individual Actual Pages.

UPDATE:

Thanks @carl123 and @Old Bruce finally the document can be opened after I update to ver 2.0.3
