Affinity AppImage Keeps Crashing

I've installed wine and bottles down loaded the Affinity AppImage it opens up for a couple of seconds then crashes. Any help getting it running would be appreciated.

hello,
Type in Terminal

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

To check if Your System runs in Wayland or X11.
if it's Wayland try it with switching to X11/Xorg. To do that, go to the Login Screen. click there on your profile so that the password field appears. When it is appeared, You should see a Gear Icon in the bottom right corner. Click on it and choose the option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in and test it.

Switched desktops but the same thing happened opened up up for a couple of seconds then crashed.

Try to launch it from terminal and relay the logs, if any.

To launch appimage from terminal just type the path to the file.

e.g:

~/Download/affinity.appimage

When this is an AppImage, You don't need Wine and Bottles for it. Make a Right-click on the AppImage and activate the Toggle ''Run as Program'' at the Bottom.

That didn't work

Did that but still the same opens then crashes.

Do you have secure boot activated in BIOS ? if yes disable it

Secure Boot is disabled

On a reply to another member, WINE works with Wayland now provided WINE 9.22 or 10.0 is installed.

From a guide for Affinity I've read
On Ubuntu 24.04 or later, don't forget to install the libfuse2t64 package if you can't launch the AppImage, it's often the small detail that blocks everything.

That link gives me a 404 page not found.

First time I opened the program everything seemed to work I even opened up an old file in it but, since then it just crashes after a few seconds.
How do i check to see if my drivers are up to date?

I have wine 10.0

How do I do this?

I would open a terminal and enter:

sudo apt install libfuse2t64

You can also watch this guide, the Method 2 doesn't use AppImage
