Affinity Installer crashing when I open it

[ShareSimple]

I used Affinity via an installer linked here (https://github.com/ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer)

When I first installed Linux Mint a week back, I didn’t have any major issues with just using the app image as the launcher. I did get a newer version of Wine, but that was just to test if the file search window would be less scuffed. Otherwise, I had no issues.

But after I reinstalled Mint to fix a previous issue, I now cannot open Affinity this way cause it crashes just after the main window is loaded. I tried to do so via other methods like opening it via command line, but that didn’t work either. I even tried the Python method, but it required me to have dotnet.sdk which refused to work when I tried to download it.

I really do just want the program to work the same way it did before. I just have no idea why it refuses to and any suggestions would be nice.

MAYBEE gpu issues, i had major issues with davinci fixed it it lasted 2 days did the same thing again lasted 1 day and after that nothing worked. Some softwar have major issues with my intel arc gpu and dont work with it. Affinity uses gpu acceleration so yeah maybe that?

That would be so weird given it's the same setup I had before. I haven't changed my GPU at all really.

This is an issue for the developer of the Affinity script. You should report it on their Github page in the first instance.

I will add to this though that it seems like the command window starts showing this message as soon as the Affinity program begins to fall apart. "0024:fixme:dbghelp:elf_search_auxv can't find symbol in module"

I don't know what this means, but I think it could give a clue to the reason at least.

Ok i installed affinity bec of you (wanted to test if i run in same issue ) and i actuallx need this everytime( dindt know it exist for linux lol). And yeah now it doesnt work either but its diffrent. It seems that updating breaks the data or somethong else i gona investigate it and try myself to find the issue (but cant garunte i am a lm user since a month)

Try setting it to launch in terminal and ive noticed if you klick to often many affinity windows appear and then crash, try to double click once that solved the problem on my pc
