Esmer Wear Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 According to the Affinity Store, "when you launch your product, you’ll be prompted to download the latest update if available. On clicking Download you will be directed to a web page that will offer you the latest Windows release for your Affinity product." I've had Affinity Designer since December 2017 and have not been prompted to download any updates. The version I currently have is 1.65.123. Can somebody tell me is there been updates since then? (I'm getting numerous crashes so I'm thinking that it has to do with not having the latest version.) If so, is there a link to get the updates? TIA Quote

Esmer Wear Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Thank you! So, I have Windows 10. According to the chart, I should have had updates. Am I reading the chart correctly-I need to go to the Microsoft store to get the updates? Do you know if I’ll need any info (like my product code, etc.) to get an update at the Microsoft store? Thanks for your help. Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 It depends on where you purchased your copy. If you purchased from the MS Store, then it would auto-update, I believe. If you purchased from the Affinity Store, the program would notify you of the availability of an update, but only if Serif has put the newer version on "auto-update" status. As 1.6.5.135 is functionally identical to 1.6.5.123, Serif did not do that for 1.6.5.135. You're free to visit the Store and download it if you want, but .135 should function the same as .123 for you, so there's no strong reason to upgrade that I know of.

Esmer Wear Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Oh, OK...I purchased it from the Affinity Store, so I guess I’ll wait to be notified. Thank you so much for the clarification. Quote
Staff Gabe Posted February 18, 2019 Staff Posted February 18, 2019 Hi @Esmer Wear, Welcome to the forums. That error message is usually caused by a bad graphics card driver. Try this: Download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website Uninstall the current graphics drivers Reboot Install the latest drivers Reboot We have not notified anybody about the 1.6.5.135, as it is the same version. It's just a slightly different installer, but the software is exactly the same. Thanks, Gabe. Quote
Esmer Wear Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks, Gabe. I’ll give your suggestion regarding the graphics card driver a try. Quote
