It is mainly a problem with large brushes. The files I us are generally large and JPEG. My files are mainly like the one I have sent. The program had been working just fine before the update. I do not want to have to "baby" the program along in order to do my work. Work can get done but with unpredictable brush stokes, brushes included in the program, stuttering and occasional crashes. I do hope this will be fixed. The file below was edited first in Luminar. I always start there and then move to Affinity for the final touches. Luminar is more like Light Room and Affinity more like PhotoShop.

The size of the brush does not matter. The problem is mainly showing up when using the healing brush tool. At least this seems to be the case I've ran into. The clone/stamp tool has improved since changing the name of the file from 1 to 1.1.

Well, after working with it for a while longer I can see that the program is still suffering from the update, at least for us using a pen to work. This is most disappointing . Elizabeth

Chris! By some miracle I was able to do what you suggested and it seems to have fixed the problem thus far. I only checked it for a few minutes but the pen worked perfectly again! Thank you! If for some reason it isn't really fixed I'll return here. If no words well, no more words is a good thing. Elizabeth

I am able to get to the Affinity Store but how do I get to the location you mentioned to rename from 1 to 1.1? I've tried to put it in the browser and it said this was a bad page with a 400 error?

Hi Chris. Jammed up = it stutters, is jumpy and lags. All the stutters and lags seems to as if the memory can not keep up or something. I'm not very tech savvy and so this is difficult for me to explain. Another way to describe the behavior is like this: It starts to act as though one is stuck in mud and then one suddenly finds that they are free and then almost falls forward due to the unexpected release. I will try to do as you have suggested above about renaming the app to 1.1. I have read on the forums that others are having pen issues due to the new update. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you, Elizabeth

Since the update to Affinity 1.8.4 my Surface Pro 6 Pen is no longer working and the entire program gets jammed up. It is particularly noticed when using the clone brush and the healing brush. I absolutely need this to be fixed in order to do my work and rely heavily on the program and my pen. Thank you, Elizabeth Taylor
