WineFix Installation

Prerequisites

APL must be installed before installing WineFix.

Download

Download winefix-vX.X.X.zip from the latest release, or download the combined affinitypluginloader-plus-winefix.tar.xz bundle which includes both APL and WineFix.

Install

Extract the WineFix archive into your Affinity install directory. After extraction, the following files should be present:

Affinity/
├── d2d1.dll                   # Patched Wine d2d1 (next to Affinity.exe)
└── apl/
    └── plugins/
        └── WineFix.dll        # WineFix plugin

WineFix will be loaded automatically the next time you launch Affinity through AffinityHook.

Included Files

For reference (e.g. if you need to uninstall WineFix manually), the release archive contains:

File Location Purpose
WineFix.dll apl/plugins/WineFix.dll WineFix plugin (Harmony patches)
d2d1.dll d2d1.dll (next to Affinity.exe) Patched Wine d2d1 library (cubic bezier fix)

Additionally, WineFix generates the following files on first launch:

File Location Purpose
winefix.toml apl/config/winefix.toml Settings file (auto-generated with defaults)

Uninstall

Delete the files listed above from your Affinity install directory. If you also want to remove the auto-generated config, delete apl/config/winefix.toml.
