Qu4ntumSpin Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hello everyone, So even with the latest beta that you just uploaded, I am still able to reproduce the issue and lock me out of affinity designer. Steps to reproduce ( WARNING: This will make your A.D. unusable! ) : WARNING 2: Now even after reinstall, delete of all folder including AppData's affinity one, the software will crash all the time! - Unzip my file & Open AD- Import swatches- Import icons (assets)- Try to open the affinity design file "palette"You will have the crash message, once you restart the app you will have the same message again. Hope you can do something, I have many crashes with affinity designer while using swatches + assets, most of the time it leads to AD being unusable and me having to delete the designer app folder which is a huge pain... Best regards PS: ( This happens on every single version I could get my hands on. ) EDIT: Included the crash report.

Staff Chris B Posted March 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hey Qu4ntumSpin, Thanks for the files. Unfortunately 3 of us have tried this and we cannot reproduce it. We've even tried it on the Windows 10 Creators Update Insider Preview Build 15042.Can you tell me what your system specs are and also clarify if you are adding the palettes as a Document pallet or as an Application pallet. Thanks Beautys 1 How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu4ntumSpin Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hey Qu4ntumSpin, Thanks for the files. Unfortunately 3 of us have tried this and we cannot reproduce it. We've even tried it on the Windows 10 Creators Update Insider Preview Build 15042. Can you tell me what your system specs are and also clarify if you are adding the palettes as a Document pallet or as an Application pallet. Thanks Hello Chris. So I have 3 computers and can reproduce on all of them: 1) Surface Book Performance - i7, 16GB of ram, gtx965M - Windows Insider latest 15063 2) Desktop pc - FX8350 - GTX 970 - 16GB of ram - few hard drives - Windows latest normal update (No insider enabled) 3) Desktop PC - Ryzen 1700 - GTX 1070 - 32GB of ram - nvme samsung 960 evo 500GB - few hard drives - Windows Insider latest 15063 True, I forget to mention, I import both assets and swatches as Application imports. PS: Antivirus is the one included with windows. Not any external tool doing any fuzzy stuff. PPS: Ryzen desktop is one week old, so very fresh install etc... Can't do much better than that to exclude any external reason for the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu4ntumSpin Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Okay, I went through all the folders of affinity and deleted everything and uninstall everything.I am now unable to reproduce on my main machine.I can't fiddle much more at the moment with this.Maybe let the devs know about the dump file, they might figure out something from it.I'll post here again if it happens suddenly during my work.Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hey Qu4ntumSpin, We have just been through the report and noticed you have RivaTuner Statistics Server. We've installed it and reproduced a crash. When you get chance, can you try disabling that on your other machines and see if you can reproduce it, assuming your non-primary machines have that installed.

Hello Chris, RivaTuner and Msi Afterburner are only installed on my main machine, not on the other ones But I'll gave a try with/without on my main machine.

Qu4ntumSpin Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Few crashes later... @ChrisI finally found one culprit that it is easy to replicate.- Open the "test" affinity file I attached to the main post All possible ways of crashing AD:- Delete the second artboard (with or without deleting the objects inside)- Try to create a new artboard anywhere- How to fix it:- Open the "header" on the first artboard, (test2->Header)- Go to User (Symbol) -> Image (Elipse) -> Image (Pixel)- Delete the Image (Pixel)- Tadaaaa.... You are now officially able to create any artboard you want and delete anything you want... It won't crash anymore...I have no idea where all those crashes come from, but this is seriously hindering my ability to use Affinity Designer as a professional tool :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks Qu4ntumSpin, reproduced and logged with development.

Qu4ntumSpin Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks Chris B.I really really hope they can come back with another beta with fixes soon.I am considering going back to Adobe :/ because of those crashes. They happen twice per hour now and makes the whole software barely usable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 23, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 23, 2017 I understand that Qu4ntumSpin. Some areas need addressing but the dev team work day and night to make fixes and improvements and they consider crashes as a high priority so I would expect this issue to be taken seriously. Thanks for figuring it out and putting the time in. How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu4ntumSpin Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hello Chris B,Yes, I know they are doing their best :)I really hope the software and the QA will improve with all the feedback you receive because affinity serif products are really nice.Best regards Chris B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu4ntumSpin Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 @Chris Since I experience a lot of crashes in various situations, with and without "MSI afterburner & Riva tuner stats.", I'll gladly sign any NDA to be able to get a version with debug symbols activated for your dev team. Even if it slows down the affinity software. Let me know if that is of any interest for you.PS: I am also a software engineer, so I know those can ben helpful.

pixelrain Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Lol, decided to test your ad file, resized header group on the first artboard, insta-crash. :lol: System specs: Win 8.1 Pro 64bit | AMD PhenomII X6 1055T @ 3.0Ghz | 16GB DDR3 @ 1600Mhz | WD10EZEX | GTX 960 4GB | Wacom CTL-672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiredframe Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The same happened to me in a certain file where I had symbols. Dragging the artboard also led to a crash code: 0xC0000005. After deleting the symbols dragging artboards worked again. I can't share the file with you unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
