same lmao |

Hello, Same issue here. Environment: Linux Mint, kernel 6.17, X11/Cinnamon, AMD Radeon (radeonsi/Renoir), Wine 11.0 (embedded in AppImage). The 3.2.0 AppImage crashes immediately at launch with the same System.UriFormatException stack trace. Wine font debug logs show no error on the Wine side — fonts load normally. The older Affinity-3-x86_64.AppImage still launches and works. |

for me, Affinity is Totally Awesome on Cachy Arch Linux and Endeavour Arch Linux and Manjaro Arch Linux, but with straight pure Arch Linux, Affinity will not open or crashed or freeze. |

Same issue here on CachyOS with Niri compositor, NVIDIA RTX 3050. The 3.2.0 AppImage crashes immediately with the exact same UriFormatException stack trace. Renamed all system fonts with special characters in filenames (brackets, percent-encoded chars) None of these fixed it. The crash occurs regardless of font configuration, which suggests the issue is internal to Affinity 3.2.0 itself rather than a system font problem. |

Confirmed, I have the same issue on Kubuntu 26.04. The issue occurs on a clean build (e.g. there is no ~/.AffinityLinux-Appimage or associated directories. |

I've been launching the 3.2.0 AppImage perfectly well for 2 weeks or so without issue on Ubuntu 26.04 until today when I started getting this same error. The only thing that's changed since I launched it day before yesterday is that I've installed new fonts and LibreOffice. I can also confirm that 3.0.2 launches just fine as well. |

Dude. Finally, I have installed Affinity on pure Arch Linux. I have done the same commands to CachyOS Arch, EndeavourOS Arch and Manjaro Arch. if you ask a different question to Google Gemini it will give you different commands to install. These five commands from Google Gemini do work amazing for me. These commands work amazingly with your AppImage. 1 - sudo pacman -Syu fuse3 lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon I have used the app, Gear Lever to get Affinity into the menu and into the KDE Plasma taskbar. Affinity is working Perfect !!!! |

same for me. it’s crash with the same error. 3.0.2 work well. the package installed by christianbearslyclark not exist on Ubuntu or i already have them installed. OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) x86_64 |
|
My commands are for Arch Linux ⭐️ Re-word your question to Google AI .. make sure that it'd for Ubuntu. |

I've managed to fix this for myself by hiding all system/distro provided fonts from wine, then remaking my Affinity wineprefix. I followed the instructions from this page: https://gist.github.com/rmi1974/0a613d721851fef4cb6babd02d65a97c |

I did the same thing (and even checked that |
|
System: Fedora 44, KDE Plasma, Wine 11.0 Staging (system) The 3.2.0 AppImage bundles Wine 11.0 (confirmed with --version) Conclusion: The issue is not Wine version, not the wineprefix, and not missing fonts. Something in the 3.2.0 build itself fails to resolve font URIs under Wine 11.0. |

I followed advice from dwetscher below. copied dwetchers text into Claude and Claude guided me straight into a working soilutin. Recommended |

., Works Totslly Great with Arch 🤙🏻 |

Apparently the mapping of the Z:/ drive is not configured properly. I tried the 3.2.0 appimage on Elementary OS 8.1 which immediately fails at start with the "invalid uri" error above. Start the appimage first so the wine prefix is created. Then follow the steps below. Point this at YOUR Affinity wine prefix (check in your home folder first!) Back up the registry Create the missing Z: drive (maps to the Linux root). From now on Wine writes parseable Z:\ paths instead of ??\unix\ . Rewrite the font entries that are already stored in the broken ??\unix\ form into the equivalent Z:\ form. Disclaimer: Claude Code came up with the fix after investigating the error. For me the appimage now works as expected. |

This advice worked perfectly on my fedora 44 linux kernel 7.1.3 |
|
That worked perfectly for me to, on my Ubuntu 24.04. Thank you! |

It sometimes crashes on "Loading fonts..." message in its splash, but hey, it's better than nothing. 👍 
But it cannot pull .webp pictures from the clipboard anymore, the according option remains non-clickable. |
|
This is way above my head. I just provided a solution to have the 3.2.0 Appimage load instead of crashing out immediately. However i experienced the application becomes unresponsive with loading some font previews (e.g. if you go through fonts fast enough) - since I enter my fonts by name it does not lock up. |

Hello, This fix worked for me too, Thank you |
|
Confirmed that @dwetscher's fix worked for me on Kubuntu 26.04. |

Does anyone else have issues with flickering menus in this version? Whenever my mouse hovers over a menu it disappears, only to come back when I take my mouse away. Running a virtual desktop makes no difference. |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
Just saw a
