    yeah, graphic design in general can be demanding, but most of the work doesn't require a ton of horsepower. I still use that c2d mac for light work for example, maxed out at High Sierra on OS side. I consider getting some older i5 now that they sell out because how much value they lost with the release of M1 and M2 macs.

    Aside the designer issue, I would suggest to send PDF to printshops, no matter the program you design.

    we waited 7 years in illustrator bugs forum to get at least some response and finally get the thread changed to "active in development", for multithread support. 6 months? I can wait six months alright.

    this is not working as you need constant access to the system with the v2 version and it is a great burden to go back and forth. Those days I work everything in V1 till the lag issue of v2 is fixed, plus at home where I need to work too, my wife is also working on the main system that have v2 so I'm left with my old macbook that can only run v1. So if I need a file made in v2 (like everything I have worked since v2 release) I simple can't work on it. Even if I had access to v2 on my macbook I need to spent time that I don't have, to do workarounds to get the file to v1 because at the workstation (windows) v2 lags so much that I can't work on it without restarting the app every few minutes so I need everything those days worked on v1. So yeah backward compatibility is something that I and others need, and I will ask for it because I do expect at least some level of it on my tools of the trade. I see no reason being locked in the latest version of the app, the other day a friend sent me a v1 file to fix something and I only had v2 on my system so I couldn't help him. What supposed to do, to tell him to go pay for a newer version that he doesn't need?

    they said they are aware and are actively trying to fix it in the beta right now. How they don't care exactly?

    Let's don't exaggerate here. And well, compared to how long we wait for illustrator to update and fix anything at all, I think people at serif are lighting fast.

    this is reported on another thread with intel as well, even high end ones. at least for the stable version, no idea about the beta. The thing our AMD systems are on the old AM4 platform, a well mature one that shouldn't case any troubles. This is why I have some doubts about the CPU being the culprit (then again, maybe is the memory subsystem, but why now and why here?) I could blame w11 but I see the thread starter is still on W10 (stay there pall, not worth it).

    thanks for the confirmation, I was hesitating to move back to v1 because I had to workaround most of my work files to work there (as there is no backward compatibility) because of the next version of v2 being close to release as it seems. But now I guess I will just move everything back to v1 because I have this lag happening to me too all the time. A shame really, I love new features but among the reasons I switched from illustrator in the first place was performance (and one off payment ofc).

    Hello I just wanted to make a clean thread asking for backward compatible files between v2 and v1 of programs. I didn't had any reason to need it till now but now I do notice what a big problem it is. First of all now that the summer time that I have most of my workload I did noticed problems with designer v2 performance and I wished to move back on v1 till it is fixed, but nope. I can't open v2 files, I need to do workarounds with sketchy imports. Second, I wanted to work on my macbook from home so I tried to get the designer v2 trial there to see what's up, but nope OS not supported so it can only use v1. But I use v2 on workstation and this is another roadblock. So yeah dear Serif, please we need backward compatibility. It is understandable that there is tools that are simple not available on v1 but this can be bypassed by automatically converting to curves whatever is not gonna work and display a warning of losing the editability of some objects if the file is saved with the older program version. Thanks

    I see in the other thread that this is not helping, but I will try anyway. Reading the responses there it feels like some short of memory leak tho. Well didn't expected I will have to get back in v1 but with summer upon us and jobs mounting in queue I don't feel like beta testing what supposed to be a stable release. Now to deal with the stupid incompatibility between v1 and v2 files
  11. nitro912gr
    Just wanted to add my 2 cents here. I wish there was a way to use v2 files on v1 so I can move there till is fixed.

    this is the weirdest part, nothing seems to be chocking the system, I get readings like 50% RAM free, 10% usage of CPU (not even 16% that is usually 100% of one of the six cores) and 5% using of GPU, SSD barely read or write anything during that time that I do notice the performance drop.
  13. nitro912gr
    Hello, did anybody else have experienced a degradation in designer's performance after some time of use? I did noticed that lately I had what I call "windows vista experience" where during my workday that I close and open many different projects designer start to feel sluggish and it start lagging in response to whatever I try to do, even very basic tasks. It all go away if I close the program and open again, but this is problematic and I try to figure out what is going on.
  14. nitro912gr
    but why? I tried other software with the same vectors and it did worked like no problem. I did noticed the problem is that specific G for some reason, crazy.
  15. nitro912gr
    Hello I try to substract a curve from another curve, but instead I'm getting the result of xor. Tried the alternative modes, still the same. What gives? subtracts.afdesign
  16. nitro912gr
    Wtf really? Man this is why I never win the lottery, I never had problems with AMD GPUs in my life, probably spent all my luck there
  17. nitro912gr
    Nothing can brick a PC, just update your drivers and try again. Probably just a bad moment of some software conflict.

    man this is getting tiresome with older files lately... this revert works but losing all the styles in the progress is adding extra work here and there

    Sorry for bringing back that older topic but implementing Ai assistant tools could be a life changing thing. I mean it could make things like background removal or specific selection a painless activity in our workflow and let us focus on creating than doing little repeatable and soulless tasks like background removal. It can also help by upscaling stupid little graphics that are sent from our clients and even making great image trace vectors. Or making object selection a reality, or improving the healing brush. or automatic levels between 2 layers or anyway just imagine all the tools that can do a little bit more than what they actually do now or that their auto part actually is working or going beyond what it can do now. There are so many ways that can make use of AI without touching the copyright mess of image creation right now. I just imagine that I could give a command to Designer AI to populate the space withing a object with the letters from the text I provide. Telling it to use different fonts and sizes and rotations for each letter or something. That could be great!

    had this popping to me today while working on an older file. revert did the trick, but shouldn't there be some short of fool prof setting in place to avoid that? I spent half an hour trying to fix this.

    Make sure you don't have a problem with the HDMI cable, a friend of mine had some shitty cheap HDMI cable that did the same, took us a little while and almost sent the cards back for RMA before we figure it out. I also get black screens lately but I have confirmed by using the AMD Link on my phone, that can mirror my monitor there, that the problem is in fact the monitor and it blacks out for some reason (probably die, because I changed HDMI cable and still happens here). Well in theory there is also the shared memory that the GPU can use from the RAM in a case like this. But I have never seen the GPU utilize that RAM on task manager.

    No I did noticed that designer with the newer versions is running almost the same with or without GPU acceleration, as GPU acceleration mostly helps with rasters and I don't have many in my workflow with it, so I didn't bothered in the end. I did some calculations too on the PSU side and my corsair will probably get in trouble running anything more than I already have on the system, not to mention the GPU market is still a fine mess of overpriced crap. I was hoping that now with intel GPUs out and crypto going crushing we could get back at normal pricing but nope... amd and nvidia had other ideas about it and as of that below 100 euros that I'm willing to spent right now there is nothing worth my time or money at all. What nightmares do you have? I run fine without the GPU at home, it could get better sure with GPU acceleration but my R5 2600 can handle affinity and affinity is leagues above in performance than illustrator I was using before. Are you sure it is related to the GPU?

    false happiness. the GRBL program still dont like those SVG, although inkscape open them ok and then with a simple copy paste to a new file and resave it works... weird.
  24. nitro912gr
    holycrap that worked... thank you. Affinity should have this default by now.. I'm tired that every time I want to engrave/cut something I have to open in inkscape (that is a hellscape to use) and change the dimensions there and re-save the file.

    This is what I research right now. A couple of years back I tried my luck again and it was consuming too many resources. I read around now that is on par with the best antiviruses out there right now, so I might give it another go. I just need to make sure first it have proper folder ignore function because I have this folder with old exe little apps that antiviruses keep erasing "I don't know what is this, it must be virus" or something.
