seanf Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I've noticed that Designer (v.1.6.2.97) now takes quite a long time to open. I'm sure the earlier versions took just a couple of seconds but I am now experiencing 10-12 seconds of splash screen before I am able to use it. My computer is no slowcoach (i7/SSD/24gb RAM), is this normal? Quote
Alfred Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Have you installed a large number of fonts recently, Sean? Both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo enumerate the fonts on startup, so any users with more than a few hundred fonts installed will experience a noticeable delay.

seanf Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 I don't have a huge amount of fonts installed - just 470, which I don't think is excessive. It is also slow on my laptop, which has even fewer installed. Quote
seanf Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 As a kind of comparison, Photoshop CS6 is up and running in about 4 seconds. This used to be my slowest starter, but Affinity now makes that look pretty fast. Quote
