Staff Jon P Posted June 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hiya, The first 2 issues we know about, can you upload some of the files it is crashing opening please?

srjacob Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Installed the Beta today. I have several problems: Won't open or recognize Corel Draw (cdr) files. Bummer. Corel Draw probably has a much larger Windows user base than Adobe Illustrator (Corel Draw has been around a LOT longer) and is SO much better). All my work is in Corel Draw. I don't believe there is a version of Corel Draw for the Mac, but it has been the vector graphics mainstay for Windows since the early days of Windows. You can find out more about Corel Draw here: http://www.corel.com/us/ Crashes when I try to open a Fujifilm RAW file from my X-Pro2. Can't do any testing until these are fixed.

Predrag Kalajdzijevic Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hello to Affinity Team for Windows, I started with installation under Win7.1 x64 and it finished correctly (from my point of view it is a little bit slow installation, need installation optimisation). My system is Intel I5 3570 3.4-3.8 GHz, 16 Gb RAM, NVidia GT 640 2 Gb DDR5 and 1 TB HDD. I have to say, in first look, that launching app. is slow, and all working under appl. is little bit slow (need for program optimization). For the first look, all option I tested working correct, I am so sorry that I have little time for first look. Installation under Win7.1 x64 is little slow (without .NET framework, only c++ runtime and ...rest). Second thing I tried at home was to install Affinity Designer Public Beta on my notebook under Win8.1 update 2 x64, but I didn't succeed. Installation started with .NET framework and propagate to 50% (never ending installation of .NET framework), and after that became "never ending story". I tried few times, and with MS defender disable, but nothing help. Installation was offline, and I didn't have separate offline installation of .NET framework (I don't know which ver. is included in installation of Affinity Designer). Today I downloaded .NET framework 4.6.2 from MS site and I will try tonight, first a manual installation of .NET and after that Affinity installation. Of course, because of that I can't say anything about app. behavior under Win8.1 x64. I will write again if I succeed to install Affinity Designer under Win8.1! Best wishes to all Affinity Team, Pedja. P. S. I have one question, when will be Affinity Photo for Win available? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predrag Kalajdzijevic Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hello again, Polygon making and manipulation, very fast. Zooming (mouse wheel preference choose) very fast (faster than in PS). That's all for now! All best, Pedja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
