RAW files not displaying correctly since upgrade to V2.4.0

[Hotdog]

Since upgrading to V2.4.0 my RAW file do not display correctly when open. They remain that way even after being developed.

Hi @Hotdog,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Do you mind attaching that RAW file to your reply for us to inspect please? Thank you.

Maybe non-standard compression format?

File opens ok in previous version.

@Hotdog,
What's your computer specs please (including graphic cards)?
We are getting a few reports of issues similar to yours but apparently they are not reproducible in all systems...

Just checked it under latest Win11 Pro and I could open the file and develop it without any problems
What kind of graphiccard are you using and are the drivers up to date?

Looks like it could be this known issue:

 

[MEB]

It is walt. The thread was already tagged.

@Hotdog Disabling the hardware acceleration in Affinity Settings > Performance section is the only way to sort out the issue until we have a fix ready.

[Affinity Info Bot]

The issue "RAW files have Artefacts when opened in 2.4.0/2.4.1" (REF: AF-2178) has been looked at by the developers and a potential fix added in internal build "2.4.2.2356".

This change is planned for inclusion in the next customer release (2.4.2), but the Affinity team would like you to join our beta program and use this beta and let us know if the changes to developing Raw Files on Windows has addressed the issue for your specific hardware.

This customer beta build is announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.

If you still experience this problem once you are using that Beta build version 2.4.2.2356 (or later) please create a thread in the beta forum with a description of your PC hardware including processor and graphics card make/model.
