SVG opening problem, ad version 2.5.2

[legendgw]

The program just crashes when I tried placing this SVG file or opening it directly with AD. I tried adobe AI, canva, figma, etc. all fine, no problems found. SVG files linked below.

Hi @legendgw and welcome to the forums,

I get a 'Your system has run out of application memory' error despite having it set at 36 GB...

Welcome to the forums @legendgw,

I'm also observing this issue on import along with the significant RAM usage spike, I've logged your file with the developers.

With a text editor change this
<!--<linearGradient x1="50%" y1="0%" x2="50%" y2="100%" id="ccchaos-grad"><stop stop-color="hsl(206, 75%, 49%)" stop-opacity="1" offset="0%"></stop><stop stop-color="hsl(331, 90%, 56%)" stop-opacity="1" offset="100%"></stop></linearGradient>-->
to this
<linearGradient x1="0.5" y1="0" x2="0.5" y2="1" id="ccchaos-grad">
<stop style="stop-color:#1f89db;stop-opacity:1" offset="0"/>
<stop style="stop-color:#f42a8b;stop-opacity:1" offset="1"/>
</linearGradient>

Modify the first line of the group thus
<g style="fill:none;stroke:url(#ccchaos-grad);stroke-width:2px;stroke-linecap:round">

and delete all of the stroke-dasharray="0 0" entries

or save the effort and convert to pdf. It looks the same but all of the curves are grouped and the opacity is on the group not the curves so if you ungroup all then the opacities are lost

The issue appears to be the stroke-dash array...

stroke-dasharray="0 0"

The Affinity apps appear to be unable to interpret stroke-dash array values that include a stroke and a gap. As soon as this is set to any stroke-only value or the stroke-dash array is removed completely then the file will open, e.g.,

stroke-dasharray="1"

You need to adjust the gradient code slightly as well...

    <defs>
        <linearGradient x1="0.5" y1="0" x2="0.5" y2="1" id="ccchaos-grad">
            <stop
                style="stop-color:#3b9ae3;
                       stop-opacity:1"
                offset="0"/>
            <stop
                style="stop-color:#f42a8b;
                       stop-opacity:1"
                offset="1"/>
        </linearGradient>
    </defs>
