Hi there..

I recently installed the version 2.6 of the Affinity Designer app and it was working very fine, until i installed a little too much fonts at the same time, the app closed by itself immediately and I haven't been able to launch it since then.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled severally, but i still cant launch it 

i tried different solutions seen online, none seems to work, i uninstalled all newly installed fonts, reset the app, but once it gets to the part of 'loading fonts' while launching, it just stops launching. 

Then, I downloaded the version 2.5 and that can be launched. I could have just settled with that as i have a lot to do, but i can't open the files created with the latest version on it. 

It's been a very frustrating day!

Kindly help with solutions THAT WILL WORK please. Thanks!

Welcome to the Affinity forums, @SWY, and sorry to hear you're having this problem.

Does it just hang on the "loading fonts", or does it crash at that point? Do you get any crash reports?

What OS do you use? And where did you download the application from? If Windows, did you choose the MSIX installer or the MSI/EXE installer?

If it is a font-related issue, there's a command-line switch (at least on Windows) you can use to enable a more verbose log during startup that might help reveal the issue: --font-cache-logging

Or maybe the startup log in general will help. For Windows, this post should help you find it:
