Cannot get Affinity Design to start because of crash....


Recommended Posts

It keeps giving me error code....crashes alot!  Now it won't start...it just shows crash report.  I was restarting it after I changed the preferences when it did this. I didn't get all my 10 days for free trial so I tried to download it again and it won't let me because it keeps giving crash error!  Please someone comment or let me know who I need to contact.  This has been very frustrating!

You can try clearing user settings by holding down the Ctrl Key when starting the application. E.G. hold down the CTRL key and double-click on the icon.

Nope, that didn't work!

You need to keep holding down the Ctrl key until the ‘Clear User Data’ dialog appears, and then release the Ctrl key and press the ‘Clear’ button in the dialog.

Sorry Alfred, my bad ... forgot to mention the dialog ... assuming.

No worries. It’s an easy assumption to make!

@kconkling Did holding the CTRL key down and then opening the app to reset resolve the issue for you? If it's still crashing you can access the crash reports and send them in a PM to me so I can take a look to see if it narrows down the cause.

1, Press the Windows key + R (Windows Run)

2, Copy and paste in the following and press Enter

%AppData%\Affinity\Designer\1.0\CrashReports
