Speed problem after updating to version 2.2.1

[Matchias]

Hi, this is my first topic here.
After updating to version 2.2.1, programs start hundred times slower than before. Launched programs also work much slower.
This is a huge problem for me.
Can I go back to version 2.2.0?

Welcome to the forums @Matchias,

You can revert to a previous version of the app from the links below under 'previous versions', just be sure to uninstall your current app version first.

Before doing I would just suggest doing a standard removal and re-install of the 2.2.1 app, and following that do a basic app reset by following the below:

1. Close All affinity apps
2. Hold down CTRL and launch one of the apps whilst still holding CTRL
3. A 'Clear user data' menu will appear with three boxes ticked, in addition tick 'Disable Hardware Acceleration'
4. Press 'Clear' and the app will now launch, if this works repeat for the other two apps (if applicable).
