App Crash (All Affinity V2 Applications)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

We have been facing the following issue on most of our  Azure VMs:
As soon as you start an Affinity Application (Designer.exe in this case) the app appears for about 2 seconds in the task manager but crashes afterward.
We were able to find the following error in the Event Viewer:

We reinstalled the Affinity Apps as well as .NET. There are no Windows Updates Pending as well.
There are a few VMs with the same setup without this issue but unfortunately we were not able to idetify the issue/difference.
 

Many thanks in advance!

If it only lets you 2 seconds, you will have not been able to disable Open CL in preferences in any of  your VMs. 

Please, try running it with the following parameter, it disables Open CL on launch :

 

 

AD, AP and APub. V1.10.6 and V2.4 Windows 10 and Windows 11. 
Ryzen 9 3900X, 32 GB RAM,  RTX 3060 12GB, Wacom Intuos XL, Wacom L. Eizo ColorEdge CS 2420 monitor. Windows 10 Pro.
(Laptop) HP Omen 16-b1010ns 12700H, 32GB DDR5, nVidia RTX 3060 6GB + Huion Kamvas 22 pen display, Windows 11 Pro.

Also, if I remember well and it'd have not changed in years, VMs don't get direct hardware access to the GPU (there's a method for doing so, though, surely not practical in this multiple installations case). So, while I would test first disabling the Open CL-hardware acceleration (by launching the apps (just once needed, the first time) as I just posted, or in preferences/performance in any Affinity app), if this does not solve it, you might then set it in software mode, setting in preferences->performance "Display" to be "Warp". This should as well discard any issues being caused by the GPU or iGPU/APU or stuff related to it. In regular desktop PCs setting it so makes some things go slower, but it depends on use cases, etc. In worst case scenario, serves to rule things out.

AD, AP and APub. V1.10.6 and V2.4 Windows 10 and Windows 11.
