Important: ARM 64 bit Support


Recommended Posts

  • 1 year later...

This has been discussed on other threads.  The Windows version of the Affinity products are built using a toolkit from Microsoft which is not supported (by Microsoft) on ARM64, such that Serif would basically need to rewrite the application to get this working.  They have indicated that they are evaluating options, but due to this limitation, I would not expect that version to be released any time soon, as it is not a simple matter of a recompile; this will take a lot of work.

However, another topic linked to a Microsoft discussion which seemed to indicate that Microsoft is also looking at reworking the interfaces in a way that would resolve this problem. Still, I agree that it probably won't appear in an Affinity release soon.

Does this mean we can expect Affinity Photo on Windows 10 ARM64 soon?

It still doesn't include WPF, so that won't really help.

The report that I see on it indicates that WPF on arm64 is targeted for sometime next year.
