Affinity 2.5.0 Won't Open


Recommended Posts

Same- win11, after updating the Affinity Suit to 2.5.0, it's crashing after initializing on loading Fonts. 

Which for me is real bad right now, I have stuff to work on that can't wait another day, or i am in trouble.
Someone wrote he set it back to Affinty Photo 2.4.xxx  and it worked ?   How do i do that? 

Thnx ahead

NVM, i found a link that hinted me to get the old version from the Affinity Store. 

I rolled it back to Version: 2.4.2.2.3.71  -> it worked instantly (and saved my azz).

Cheerio, good luck with fixing it. /Elbion

Hi @Kristaps, @mattporter & @Elbion.,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums & sorry to hear you're having trouble.

I can confirm our team are aware of this issue causing Windows to crash during "Loading Fonts" and we're working to resolve this in an update ASAP.

In the meantime, you can uninstall the 2.5 versions and redownload 2.4.2 from the below links:
Photo - https://store.serif.com/update/windows/photo/2/ 
Designer - https://store.serif.com/update/windows/designer/2/ 
Publisher - https://store.serif.com/update/windows/publisher/2/ 

Our apologies for any inconveniences caused due to this.

Thank you thank you  - Been looking for this for a while. I want to roll back so badly. 2.5.anything is a mess. I miss the old days. Bigger is not better always. 

This will not allow me to upload the 2.4 version - only the latest version.

You don't say what "this" is, but the FAQ should help:
