Designer using all memory. Help!

[Wands1101]

I’ve been using the Affinity Suite for the past year without any issues, but over the last few days, Affinity Designer has stopped opening due to a "lack of application memory" error. Affinity Designer is consuming around 45GB of memory (screenshot attached). Both Affinity Photo and Publisher are working  just fine. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but that didn’t resolve the issue. I see some users had similar problems as of last year but I did not see any viable solutions. I am new to posting forums,  so sorry if it's all wrong. I am a real newbie! Please help. Thank you. 

I’m using a MacBook Air M1 with 8GB of RAM, running Sequoia 15.1.1

Have you tried version 2.5.6 released today, which should address compatibility with this system?

[Wands1101]

Yes. Just tried it earlier today. Same issue happening.

@Wands1101 What is your workflow within the app when this occurs and is it with a particular file or any?

Sorry for the late reply. I worked out how to fix it via a another thread on here. Thank you!
