Affinity Publisher V2 sends an error message during start process

[Nordseher]

I am using Affinity publisher V2. I am using Ventura. I am working on an iMac from 2018.

When starting the Affinity Publisher, it happens 2-3 times at the beginning that the Publisher brings an error message. (see attachment).

After that, it starts again normally. And I can work.

I have the impression that some timeout is running. And yes my computer is not a rocket. Can this be?

Hi @Nordseher,

This error is typically caused by the firewall blocking local traffic, I would first suggest checking your firewall settings to make sure local traffic is not getting blocked to ensure that the apps can communicate with one-another.

It's also possible for this error to occur when you have another affinity app open in an unresponsive/frozen state and then try opening another, this will require that the app be force closed/allow it to finish what it's doing before you can open another app.

I've linked the relevant FAQ below for reference.
