    When you say, 'it makes all super slow' with Open CL off... you are only un-ticking that checkbox, right? You need to leave your Nvidia Quadro P2000 as the renderer, not Warp (but Warp is a good way to eliminate the factor of the graphics card as a problem, to realize if it's other problem. If I understood it well). As it's software rendering only (and really slow).

    Yes, I kept the Quadro P2000 as the renderer.

    The fact is that not only I did not notice an slow down in my usual stuff to do as a painter, when setting Open CL off, but I even noticed all snappier with it off.

    When you say, "makes everything super slow", what specifically gets slower ? The brushes, the menus, some filters? Also, for me it is always slow to paint with any live filter on, even if it is applied to another layer.  I disable or rasterize those, and paint with very few layers. Still, allows  me to paint with four to 10 layers (haven't tested more) in 7000x5000 px canvases (for print and stuff) with Adobe RGB color profile and images in 16bits color mode, brushes of 500 pixels very fluid. All that with Open CL off, very fluid. So, yep, there's some sort of conflict in your system with Affinity (or, some issue in the system itself, that only is detected by Affinity, as it's kindda more picky with a system or driver issue than other apps).

    With Open CL OFF it is responsive at the beginning but become buggy and slow when editing panoramas (100mpix and more), pictures with more than five or six layers, or when doing frequency separation and using the mixer brush. The brushes, toggling the visibility of layers, switching to another tool become slower.
    But the most annoying issues are the freezes, it's like a sleep behavior, where the mouse pointer stay with the brush preview when I'm trying to select another layer, tool, or the assistant robot icon. Going in another app to come back in AP2 seem to wake it up, but frequently it become completely unresponsive and I have to force close it.

    But maybe I have just found a solution, I disabled Windows Ink in wacom app and it looks like it make a difference in the software. Can't be sure yet because I'm just trying with few layers, I have to try it in a real case scenario. Settings are: Windows Ink in wacom app untick; Pref/Performance Quadro P2000 as the renderer, retina on auto, Open CL Off; Pref/Tools "High precision". I will investigate further the software with these settings, if it's working like a charm I will know there is a conflict with Windows Ink in wacom software.

    They will reach to your case, but it might take a while. But two things: They need to study one case per thread, that's the workflow, so, if you want to have more chances in being seen, I would advice to start a new thread with one small paragraph and your most recent crash report file. The other thing is that they are currently overbooked by fixing bugs and working at full throttle on the Affinity apps (and as you know, small staff, they can only attend stuff as they can humanly can). But  yep, imo, make a new thread with the crash report file attached.

    Thanks for this information. If the new settings are not working well I will open a new thread.
    Thanks again @SrPx for your help.

  2. Hi @SrPx,
    Thank you so much for your answer.
    Did absolutely everything you mentioned.
    I tried your settings (Open CL OFF, Windows ink ON in preferences and in wacom app, clean uninstall of GPU driver, installed new one) unfortunately it makes everything really slow and unusable when open cl is off. Btw it's worth mentioning that when AP2 is set on windows ink, the ability to change the flow while right clicking with the wacom pen is disabled (wacom intuos 4 with 6.3.38-2 driver). It's really annoying since I use it often in my workflow.

    So the software is still freezing and crashing no matter what I do.
    If I choose to disable open cl the software is so slow I can't use it and if I let it on it crashes 5-6 times a day.
    Is there any affinity staff member who can tell me what's going on with AP2 and my computer ?

    Regards,

  3. Hi, I encounter the same problems. It's really hard to work properly on AP2, I am losing so much time while editing.
    When AP2 freeze or is really slow (for example: brush strokes significant delays), the selected tool remain blocked, i'm unable to select another layer or anything else on the tool bar, shortcuts doesn't respond either.
    I have to go on an another app or software and come back to AP2 in order to be able to select another layer or make the shortcuts responsive again.

    When this trick is not working AP2 become completely unresponsive and I have to force close it.
    Laptop Configuration: Zbook Studio X360; i9-8950HK CPU 2.90GHz; 32BG RAM; GPU Nvidia Quadro P2000 4Gb ram.

    Hardware acceleration on/off does nothing on crashing problems, but with it off AP2 is noticeably slower.

    Hope there will be a viable solution.
    Regards

  4. @Komatös
    Thanks for your advices.
    Everything was up to date, I still launched microsoft dotNET repair tool just in case.
    Nothing found with it.
    AP crashes or freezed again despite the hardware acceleration turned off.
    I decided to restart the edit all over again without using the previous AP recovered file.
    After half of my day spend on it, I finally managed to finish the edit.

    I hope I would find a solution to make it more stable and fast otherwise it will be a pain to produce professional work for clients.
    Thanks again for your help, I will wait to see if a staff mod can tell me more about the crash report.

  5. Hello @MattSelz,

    Would love to know more about the process of changing the TEMP and TMP location to see if it helps me during my work.


    I bought the V2 suite, currently working on AP 2 on a 160Mpix panorama with few adjustement layers and I find the software quite sluggish and buggy.
    It also crash/freeze a lot (while moving layers, masking, merging), and I noticed that it uses 60GB of my C: drive.
    I would like to try to use another M.2 SSD as scratch disk.

    Thanks !
