Alex White Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 All of the Affinity applications take over 30 seconds to start up on my M1 macbook running the latest version of Sonoma. None of my other apps (even quite big and complicated ones) take longer than 5 seconds to load. Why do Affinity apps take so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex White Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 So the problem has been around for ages and apparently it is always ‘an Apple problem’? I don’t really buy it. This is a problem that I ONLY see with Affinity, and I don’t see with ANY other apps on the Mac. If it was an Apple problem then I would expect it to be showing up in at least one other place. Because of the frequency of updates I keep having to restart the app and have this annoyance again and again. I wish they could commit to looking into it again and working out exactly what the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this with Adobe Photoshop and to a lesser extent Adobe Illustrator, all other apps are generally okay. Sometimes Affinity apps start in like 3 seconds, other times it can be 20-30 sec, i think it depends on how much they've had to drink the night before lol!

Restarting the apps takes only a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
