Okay, so it's not Text Styles. Can you share the document in public? If not, please tell us it's key attributes so we can offer suggestions.

Are there linked resources? If so, what kind are they and where are they stored?

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration in Preferences > Performance?

So the crash issue automatically resolved itself after I wiped every imported profile from previous V1 and did a clean install for V2. 

🤣

[T shortcut seems to crash frenquently?]

No linked resources, only text and vectors, unfortunately not able to share publicly. I copied the entire portion over to a new empty document, and still able to recreate the crash. I should be able to make a short clip and share when I'm free in the next few days.

Currently I have very tight deadlines to meet at the moment, and do not want to waste anymore time on fixing or beta-testing V2, installed back V1 for now.

Thanks for the help, will chat again soon~

Hi Jop, could you try these tests?

1. Close the Text Styles panel and try again. Is it faster?
2. Keep Text Styles open but disable hierarchical styles. Is it faster?
3. Keep Text Styles open but disable samples. Is it faster?

I don't know if any of these will help you but there are performance issues with the Text Styles panel on macOS so it's worth a try.

Tried one, couldn't even get it to not crash. It seem there are certain elements that I clicked on that will hardcrash the software no matter what. I'm not sure is it because of I'm trying to copypaste something from V1 over V2 that is casuing the issue.

v2 seems to have a big issue with the Text function, pressing T seems to makes the entire program hangs very frequently... 

and can be recreated 100%.

[Affinity Designer Crashes when i try to type something in the Font selection menu (Windows 10)]

UPDATE for anyone still using V1 Affinity applications - 

Versions 1.10.6 of the Affinity suite have been released, which resolve these .NET Windows crashes.

Please see the below link for information on how to download and install these updates:

With the Affinity updates installed, you can now un-hide any previous Windows updates you have paused and install these without concern.

Thanks it works perfectly now, also just bought Designer V2 and very impress with the new wrap and shape builder tools! Keep up the good work!

[The UI at first look it's nothing special]

V2 UI is so stripped down it's hard to differentiate between the tools.... I prefers the V1 UI so much more.

More people are experiencing the same issue.

Uninstalling the font does not work.

Yesterday I uninstalled most of my fonts, and yet I am still experiencing the same issue.

================

UPDATE

Idk why, but this solution is working.

 

In my case, I modified the name of the designer program to

"Designer  --disable-font-preview-cache"

and now it is no more crashing.

 

thanks, your're brilliant!

Much better than the uninstall and pausing window update method.

Well I had this same problem since the Windows 11:KB5017264 update for both publisher and designer. Affinity have to find a way to fix it somehow, because the other programs that I have on the same desktop doesn't have this bug. (ms words, ppt, illustrator, photoshop, blender and clip studio paint)

Well, I have a solution.

This is work for me. 

didn't test for too long, but this fix for the time being. 

Thanks~

[Designer and Publisher Lags after 30min +/- usage]

That's unusual. Did you update the apps?

Possible causes:
1) Malware.

Solution: Download Malwarebytes and scan the whole system for malware. Remove any detected malware and restart PC.

2) Hard drive where apps are installed is old

Solution: Reinstall the apps into your SSD

3) Too many background apps

Solution: disable all apps that you don't need under startup tab in Task Manager. Restart PC.

4) Too many installed fonts.

Solution: Download Nexus Font Manager and uninstall all of the fonts that you don't use.

 

Thanks will try these method, during my down time.

Probably should be no.4. Always see the font cache thingy pops up whenever I copy and paste stuff from AI to Designer. Publisher.

ryzen 1600 

16gm ram

gtx1070

1T hdd, 250gb nvme, 500gb+250gb ssd

 

Most of the time I don't open other programs alongside when I'm using Designer or Publisher.

Unless I need to ie Illustrator trace and offset path features. Some photoshops thats about it.

FYI both photoshop and Illustrator doesn't have this weird slow down or lag after a certain period of time of usage, unless working with huge file/asset on my system.

Other program like blender, Clipstudio paint and Hitfilm do not have this issue too.

 

Thanks

[Designer and Publisher Lags after 30min +/- usage]

Does this happens to anyone else?

After about 30mins of usage for both Designer and Publisher I will have massive lag for both programs.

Doesn't matter how light/ heavy that graphical content/task I'm working on.

So far a reset solve the issue temporary, but it doesn't takes too long before it gets laggy again.

[Publisher/Designer to HTML format]

Are there any ways to export/ convert Publisher or Design to HTML format?

Don't mind using some 3rd party software and make do with it..

Thanks

[Any plans for PDF form editing?]

+1 really need this features, I would gladly even pay it if it's one off "DLC"

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums  

We have not been able to emulate this ourselves, is this something that you have experienced or does the "Apparently" mean you have seen it reported? We would like any example file that you have please.

Sorry for the late reply, didn't set any notification for this forum.

The latest patch fixed my issues  thks for the quick work on patching the bugs.

[HUION Pen Pressure not working]

On 3/20/2020 at 10:49 PM, Sean P said:

Hi Rokzengr V,

Unfortunately I don't have access to a Huion tablet that I can try this with but we've added the ability for users to switch between Windows Ink and WinTab. If you go to Preferences > Tools and untick 'Use Windows Ink for tablet input' and then restart you will be using the WinTab drivers which is what 1.7.3 used - this should allow you to use pressure correctly.

Thanks this setting works for my Huion (NEW)1060 PLUS model!

Thanks a million!

[Finding 1.8 totally useless. PLEASE which previous version best?]

Apparently 1.8 can't export from spread into page format pdf without breaking up stuff, ie missing element, transparency not showing properly, 

while working can't remove master page without crashing, can't scroll through spread occasionally. 

 

Glad someone posted the old version download link...

oh wait, I can't open the file that I've created on new version..
