Hi tomaust, I do not have any live distortions in my layers. Is there a property that I should check/ uncheck? If live distortions are not in my layers, I still have a very slow & unacceptable operation in both my computers which have Affinity 2.0. It appears to slow down when any windows explorer operation (changing folders, etc. etc.) is going on. Any further ideas? Thanks!

Thanks tomaust! I will try this. I am using it on two W10 computers with the same low speed. I'll let you know how it goes. Ernie

Thanks for responding. The OS is Windows 10 and the Version is 2.1.3 If you need other info, let me know. Thanks!

I think the questions you are referring to, Walt, would be: 1) Do you have the latest Nvidia drivers? Answer: Yes 2) Is / was there a specific use to create a second thread for this issues 5 minutes later? Answer: One thread regards Version 1.10 hanging but it is not slow. The other thread refers to Version 2.0 being slow and hanging as well Also, Walt, is there a way to reply directly underneath each question instead of at the end of the series? Appreciate it!

Hih. I submitted this before but the discussion was hijacked and the title I used mislead some so here it is again...... Just about every action ends up with the program having to wait. Even "placing" which takes a split second in V1 takes just about forever. Please tell me how I have set it up wrong since I assume the developers would never let this program out to the public the way it is acting with me. Also, it hangs on a whim and will not recover. Version 1 hangs this way as well. I have enjoyed Affinity Photo very much!! Not V2 at the moment!! I hope the problem is in my setup. Thanks for looking into this.

It appears that my post here has been hijacked to another discussion regarding installation on an Apple machine. I would still appreciate any ideas as to why Affinity Version 2.0 which I installed on two separate computers is slow on both of them. No one else seems to have this problem???? Thanks for your attention to this request.

Thanks for your responses! I have updated the NVidea driver and will now: - Check the windows settings for Affinity to try to ensure that Affinity is using the NVidea card. - Reset Affinity as suggested by pressing the "Ctrl" key while starting up.

Thanks for your responses! I have updated the NVidea driver and will now: -

Hi Walk, Thanks for replying... Here are some computer specs: Computer Specs: - Name DT04 - Dell XPS 8930 - CPU Intel i7-8700 & 3.2 - 6 cores - GPU NVidia GForce GTX 1060 6GB - RAM - 32 GBs When V2 was installed, it did not uninstall V1 so I'm wondering if this might have something to do with it, Also, are others having the same problems as I am having? Many Thanks! ErnieAd

Here's a rundown of the hardware/software. Hardware: - Dell XPS 8930 - 32 GB RAM - • Operating system version• Affinity version• Affinity preferences• projects, workflows• installed / used fonts• file storage paths

I will right now Sorry about this! ErnieAd

When I first purchased Affinity Photo several years ago, all appeared to work seamlessly. Then, it started to hang whenever it felt like it and it does not recover but has to be forced closed and then restarted causing considerable lost data. What has happened??? Thanks! ErnieAd
