Mark Ingram Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Click here to download the latest beta Status: Public Beta Purpose: Stability Requirements: None As this is a beta release, it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.5 cannot be opened in 1.4, which means files created with the Windows beta cannot be opened in the Mac AppStore version of Designer, instead you will need the latest macOS beta. We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks once again for your continued feedback. If you have a general question about the software, please head over to the Questions Forum, or if you have any suggestions, please head over to the Feature Requests forum.

Mark Ingram Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Crashes on startup sometimes, and opening old or new document with d3dcompiler missing message Hi, I'm going to push another update in a minute to fix this. Thanks very much! Unfortunately I can't change the font in the newest beta. the dropdown always closes when trying to select a font. You've probably got the Character page open, close that first and it will work. I'm going to push another update in a minute to fix this.

I think! I was congratulating myself for not having bothered to download the very buggy build 19, so you can imagine my surprise and disappointment when I launched build 20 for the first time and was greeted by a message telling me that a newer build was available.

af-user Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wow, fixing so quick and two builds at one day and a new/old setup icon ... does it hint anything? Pushing hard for a soon release? You're all doing really well, fixing, uploading, giving detailed changelogs, and responding in the forum. Perfect.

Bri-Toon Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hey I have great news, Mark. I was able to launch the program again. Thank you very much for the support. I should notify Sean as well. There was just one thing. I got this dialogue, but nothing happened after I closed it. I closed the program and reopened it to test if the dialogue will pop up again, and it didn't. It was just that one time. It feels great using this program again! Mark Ingram 1 The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

federix Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hello, first of all congratulations upon such a good software; I am eager to see it ready, though I am already adventuring on serious work with the beta. Until now I was waiting to see if my Wacom Bamboo (CTL-470) pressure sensitivity would be recognized in the beta releases - the workaround presented in this post https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22815-no-wacom-friendly/ couldn't work for me as the Wacom Tablet Properties for this cheaper model doesn't come with the "Application" option. But until the 1.5.0.19 release I was being able to use my pen as a mouse and after it the moment I grab my Wacom Pen the program crashes. It is still crashing in 1.5.0.21, the error code is: 0x80131516. I will gladly adopt Designer as my main vector tool, and will love to see my poor Wacom recognized. Shall I post this complain also in the "no-wacom-friendly" post? Many thanks in advance!

fblawat Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Affinity v1.5.0.21 crashing and will not start on a Windows 7 x64 8 GB RAM system. The previous beta v1.5.0.2 installed and ran fine. I installed v1.5.0.21 today, installed Netframework v4.6.1 and rebooted.When Affinity first starts, it gives me a message about Aero is not enabled and will cause rendering problems and slow performance. I had this same message under v1.5.0.2 but the Beta ran fine.This new version 1.5.0.21 will not even open up. I have the latest AMD Radeon HD drivers as of last week.

Mark Ingram Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 You need .NET framework 4.6.2, but that should be installed via the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankyds Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Downloaded and played around, i really like this software! I would already like to use it for my next designs, is the beta limited in time until it comes out of beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm very glad that all is going well again. Anyway, I do want to point out two minor bugs I caught. They're just minor, so no worries. 1. Locked layers can still be drawn on. 2. When the brush tool is selected, I cannot change the width size in the Stroke tab unless an object is selected, but I can change the width from the context toolbar. The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved.

frnq Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi, Thank You and great work! Soft is awesome! I would like to ask about clip to canvas - with multiple artboards it is always clipping (can't switch this off) - it makes problem if i would like export to pdf with bleed. Normaly i would setup for example 3mm bleed in document setup - create for example 2 artboards - for poster and for leaflet. Then if i would like export pdf for each artboard i can't do this with bleed (artworks are always clipped to artboards). Workaround is create temporary new dokument with one artboard, copy / paste - and then export - when in document is one artboard clipping work properly (i can switch this on/off) and bleed is exporting properly in pdf.

Chris_K Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hi Spidermurph Sometimes the .NET installer can fail if there is a pending reboot on your system form an update. are you able to restart your system and give this another try?

Chris_K Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hi Spidermurph That error seems to be quite synonymous with Windows Updates. Which OS are you running and do you have any Anti-virus software installed at all?
