Leon Weijts Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 After a few years working fine without any problem suddenly my Affinity Photo starts very slowly, it takes 30 seconds before I can do anything. On my Acer Swift 3 with windows 11 control system all other programs work fine, the problem appears only in Affinity Photo. I have it re-installed, but this problem is still there. A friend of mine has exactly the same problem; could it be a communication-problem with your server? How can I fix it? Leon Weijts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderdash Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Exactly the same here. Always a quick start, and for the past few days, it's been incredibly slow. The issue is only with Affinity. Not on Windows but on an M1 Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted October 2, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 2, 2023 @Leon Weijts Welcome to the forums. On occasion having a lot of fonts installed may have an affect on the apps opening time. Other than that, they should be opening as quickly as possible based on system resources. @boulderdash Welcome to the forums. You may be experiencing this issue as it's unique to macOS. If not please start a new thread and expand on the issue including the version of our apps you're running and macOS on your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-installed Affinity Photo and now it is starting fast, but preferences does not respond and the program must be terminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Weijts Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) I purchased Affinity Photo V2 and this starts up very slow too. What could be wrong? I tried a lot of things in settings and in windows 11, but no effect at all. I consider to claim a refund. Leon Weijts.

Leon Weijts Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 I solved the problem after I could re-install AF v1. In the advanced color-control of my Acer pc the color-profile in the deviceprofile tab was set to a non-standard one. By changing it to sRGB IEC61966.2.1 the program started within a few seconds. Amazing that the statup-time of AF only depends on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
