Affinity Suite V2 Crashes after 10 seconds

[raily74]

Hello,

since macOS 13.3, all Affinity apps are crashing directly after startup. From macOS 13 to 13.2.1 it worked absolutely fine. Is there a fix upcoming? Or shall I go back to 13.2.1 with all the problems, coming up with downgrading a Mac.

Thank you very much!

Regards, Michael

While we look at this we are surprised that your mac has managed to get macOS 13.3, given its's age (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT213264).

However this crash is in your NVIDIA GTX680MX driver. You could try updating that before giving up on 13.3

If you've used OpenCore to get Ventura onto that mac you will need to look to them for additional support with drivers

Thank you very much for your answers.

Yes, you're right. I used OpenCore and it seemed to work fine until 13.2.1, but there has been a big change in 13.3 (Apple broke support for the legacy 3802-based Metal GPUs). So I think best way is to go back to 13.2.1 instead of disabling AMFI.

The other way would be, to work with Affinity 1.10 again, but I don't really want to... 😉 Also Autodesk Fusion 360 crashes at startup.

Dear Patrick, dear Pauls,

all three programs are running properly again. Your answers were a great decision-making aid for me. Thanks to Time Machine, everything is now running smoothly again under 13.2.1. It's too early to send the still capable iMac 13.2 to recycling.

By the way: After many years with Adobe, I'm happy to be independent since 2018 and upgraded to V2 within the first hours of publication. After that, I was able to convince two more friends of the scope of services of the Affinity Suite. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I don't want to go back to Adobe. Although I still haven't mastered every detail, I like many things better than in the Creative Suite.

For the sake of completeness, I would like to add that all functionalities are now available under 13.3.1. The problem was solved with the Open Core Patcher 0.6.3 and all graphics programs run flawlessly again on the patched system.
