Publisher 2.2 images not viewing properly - Help!

[GryphonArt]

Since the upgrade to affinity publisher 2.2 the majority of my images (placed pdf files) not viewing properly.from reading the forum I’ve set the display to Open GL and unchecked the Hardware Acceleration Enable Metal. What has changed and how do I get it back?

It also seems to be crashing a lot - or rather “Not Responding”.

I'm on a Mac Mini, 32 GB, MacOS Ventura 13.5.2

Are those images (PDFs) linked or embedded? If they're linked, what do you see in the Resource Manager for their status?

Where are the linked PDFs stored?

Try deleting one from the document and re-placing it. Save and reload the document and see if that solves it. Just a thought.

Thought I had responded to this already - sorry.

Thanks for responding MikeTO. The images are linked and the Resource Manager marks them as "OK".

I have deleted some before as I thought I had done something wrong - did one again as you suggested and it replaced fine. Closed out, rebooted and still looked fine.

Then I thought I'd try exporting to a PDF because previously the PDF reproduced okay. But the preflight came up and had the images are not pamtabale with the PDF export version... the Fix seems to have fixed them!
