Cooperphile Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 @Sean P, I forgot to answer one of your questions. I have 486 font files in my Windows fonts directory.

Staff Sean P Posted May 8 Staff Share Posted May 8 Thank you for the files! Unfortunately I'm still unable to reproduce the crash you're getting and cannot see anything obvious myself in the Process Monitor log, though I have passed that on to development to see if they can. In the meantime are you able to go to C:\Windows\Fonts\ and select all the fonts, copy them to a new folder (via Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) and then zip and attach that to Dropbox please if it isn't too big?

Staff Sean P Posted May 8 Staff Share Posted May 8 Also unfortunately the crash report you've given us doesn't seem to want to debug either. Are you able to generate and attach another one please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooperphile Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 @Sean P, I can't get it to create a crash report. I got the installer for the beta .2430. It also refuses to run after one successful start, but I noticed one difference, which does relate to fonts. With .2415, the font that says "support your" was displayed in a generic way and a message box said the font (Vinay Solid) was missing. In .2430, it is shown correctly. I installed .2415 again to show the difference, but it will not run at all, now. It did create crash reports, which I have attached. A zip of my fonts folder is uploading. It's at 71% with 12 minutes to go . . . .

Staff Sean P Posted May 10 Staff Share Posted May 10 Thank you very much for the crash reports and the fonts. Whilst I still cannot replicate it with those fonts installed, the crash reports do seem to be working this time. I've passed these onto development, so fingers crossed these shine a light on what is happening! katydidk and Cooperphile 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooperphile Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 @Sean P, Well, poop. Just in case, I just uploaded my AffinityFonts folder.

Cooperphile Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 @Sean P, I downloaded Beta 2449 and I have new info for you. I don't know if this was the case with previous versions, but my problem at this point is that the app will not run if I try to start it from a desktop shortcut. I have always started it like that before, but I guess that stopped working with 2.5. Anyway, it will run normally if I start it from the Windows Start menu. It just won't start from a desktop shortcut. Is that something?

Is that something? How and when did you create that shortcut? If you're using the MSIX installers, shortcuts created for prior releases won't work after the new release is installed, and would need to be recreated. I'm not sure if that would apply if you're using the EXE/MSI installers.

Cooperphile Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 @walt.farrell, THIS time, I ran the previous version and let it upgrade itself. Then I went to the folder where Designer.exe is, right-click-n-dragged it onto my desktop, and chose Create Shortcut Here. If I were to re-install it (which I have done numerous times for the previous version), I would use the .MSIX download to reinstall it.

I don't think that is a good way to create a shortcut when you've installed using MSIX. I would use the method described in the FAQ: Jon P, EmT and Cooperphile 1 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Cooperphile Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 @walt.farrell, Thanks for that. Never heard of such a thing, and it had always worked before . . .
