Application Crashes on Save

[gnomelackey]

The application was working perfectly, but for some reason it now crashes before it can save. It is very frustrating because I can't make progress on my project. Here is the crash report.

Hi Gnomelackey,

Welcome to the forums,

Please could you confirm when roughly the app is crashing is it when using a specific feature or when trying to save etc? If you haven't already please could you try navigating to the apps preferences and under performance try disabling hardware acceleration to see if this prevents the crashing?

Why does Affinity continue having issues using cloud, network or USB drives? This is certainly not a cutting edge feature like the new, super-duper important AI object selection feature…

Every other app can handle working with non-local files. This issue has been reported for YEARS! Do you guys plan on fixing this or is playing Russian Roulette a “feature” of the Affinity Suite? If so it could be listed as a gamified feature:

“Included with the of the purchase the Affinity Suite is a bonus, adrenaline-pumping feature, RRS: Russian Roulette Save! Will your files be saved properly? No one really knows?! Find out every time you reopen your file!”

Nothing elicits trust while working with “professional” software as much as not knowing whether files will be corrupted when Saving based upon the files’ location…. 

Incoming useless PR statement: ”We have logged the issue with development”

FOR HOW MANY YEARS DO PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK BECAUSE OF A STUPID BUG LIKE THIS? HOW ABOUT YOU STOP ADDING NEWFANGLED FEATURES AND FiX THE BASICS, LIKE RELIABLY SAVING A FILE?! 🤦‍♂️
