Initially I thought it was just me experiencing the crashing and freezing issues, as my Affinity Designer (1.7) used to also freeze constantly. I was hopeful that the update (AD 1.8) would improve it but it got much worse. Now it's practically unusable because practically every single operation even the simplest move causes it to freeze and it's just so frustrating. I'm also using Windows 10, 1Tb HDD, 12G RAM, Intel Core i5 I ran a compatibility test and I don't understand why it showed compatibility from windows 8 and older but didn't show Windows 10. Simply frustrating when you've purchased a software that's not working efficiently or not designed to be compatible with the latest version of Windows?! This seems to be the case as there are several complaints about this issue from users who upgraded to Windows 10 - I would like to know what Serif plans to do about this though?

That is exactly why I'm thinking of moving from Gravit Designer to buy Affinity Designer. I'm still on the trial period and I am watching tutorials to find out if I can successfully use Affinity Designer to design all types and styles of repeat patterns. I have heard of the pattern tool in AI and have seen this requested for a while now but it appears it has been ignored. I'm new to AD and it appears suggestions, requests are ignored by Affinity Designer- not encouraging! However I do hope they add this pattern tool. I'll compare tutorials of both and decide if I'll bother buying AD especially if they aren't responding to requests or suggestions!
