macdabby Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'm sure I'm running this in an unsupported way, but I'm hoping I can at least get some advice. I run linux, and unfortunately there is no linux version of affinity (still willing to pay extra for that). So I'm running it in a Mac in VMware. Affinity opens fine and I can see all of the tool panels, preference windows, etc. But when I try to open an image or create a new empty one, the entire image area is black. I tried disabling openGL and using software only, and the GPU option. Nothing seems to work. In some combinations when I pan/scroll the image, I can see it. But as soon as I stop it turns black again. It's the entire view area, not just the artboard. I assume since everything else works, this has to do with the graphics driver or something - any advice on how to make it run 100% in software?

R C-R Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I don't have a link for it but sometime in the past one of the developers or other staff member mentioned that the Affinity apps will not run correctly in a virtual environment. I assume that is why you are seeing what you are & there is no way to fix it.
