@Callum Sorry i can't NDA with film. Cant share anything from it. But I would say its 75% of them. For example i am doing a Christmas Movie at the moment. Downloaded some christmas character ( elves santa and so on. ) They were obviously created in a older version of illustrator. You can can tell by how the vector is sliced up. Either way its vector. This files stall Affinity designer. Also the other day downloaded what looks like a simple shaped vector wallpaper. Again bought designer and 1 and 2 to its knees. If i open a graphic in Illustrator and then copy it and paste it in designer, again, very slow. Sorry can't share files with film projects. Gary

copy on pasting art from other programs grinds the files to a halt. Also EPS files from ISTOCK ( we use quite a bit in film ) seem to destroy any speed Designer might have. Gary

I am on a film production at the moment. There are 3 people in the art dept that use Affinity Designer. We are all use version 1 as v2 is crashing to giving many unexpected results. ( v2.0.4) we cannot beta test on a movie. If I have time to Beta test its between contract. If v2 crashes its also corrupting files, which is 100 percent stop use for our workplace. Also our sign shops are having issue with PDF and EPS files coming out of v2. So we are on V1 until such time as issues are fixed. Gary

Following the thread seems to show a lot being fixed. So great to see. Looking forward to the final update. The one thing i dont' see mentioned is the Lagging problem and slow down that many are having including my self. Its a huge thread but nothing seems to be said about it. Can someone please shed some light on this speed issue being fixed. As it stands I cannot even use V2 of Designer for work as its to buggy and after a short time VERY slow. Thanks Gary

Install .affont files?
thegary replied to Intuos5's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Why are these font not a normal format as TTF for Open font? Much easier to install and use with all software. Gary- 49 replies

I am still using V1. V2 is very slow , especially when zoomed in, painfully slow when trying to clean up a vector. Why isn't there a option for this yet? V1 is my only way to go for work. So much faster and reliable. Wish this would get fixed. I have owned since the day it was announced and couldn't even use till recently due to the MSIX ( work won't let me use them ) . So just started with MSI, but so many bugs. Gary

@walt.farrell They are duplicates of the ones that come with the Software. I had not installed the software before, just asked about importing settings from v1 on intial install. No app resets just straight install and v1 import. Either way i have it fixed, just weird that it duplicated those Categories of brushes. Gary

@Pauls Seems i have found what has happened. When I installed PHOTO. When it imported my settings it duplicated about half of the brush categories. Not sure how this happened. Only about half had (2) Behind them. I went and deleted the duplicate categories and now the switching i much quicker. So although its now faster, question is why it created duplicated Categories will importing V1 settings? V1 has no duplicates, i did check this. THanks Gary

No time.. I pay to use software that is working. I have a job, that doesn't include testing software. I will let Serif test it . Hopefully they get it right. Gary

Don't have anything hooked up , but my tablet does work fine. Its good to test if these things are affecting the performance. But really why? They are supported in V1 , why now are they an issue. Seems like something was broken under the hood in V2. Photo has the same lag issue as designer when selecting brushes. This has also been reporting. At this point i have STOPPED using V2 for work. To buggy, to slow and not predictable about the outcome. Its slowing my work down and in Film i don't have the luxury of time. V1 it is until this is fixed. I am not impressed that after 2 1/2 months of being out this is still an issue. I waited for the MSI installers as i cannot use the MSIX at work. Thought that would buy me some time for bug fixes. But this software in my opinion is still in a BETA phase. V1 was much more stable at release and is still . I purchased this back on the day it was released. Have been using since the MSI installer was released, and it seems i spend my days recording videos and posting bugs, rather that doing work. Will go back to V2 in 3 months when I am done my contract. If its no better then, will make other decisions about software. Garyh

Ok , Just started another doc. 8.5 x11 300 dpi. Lines and vectors and the more i added the slower it gets to select another object or group. NOT GOOD. V1 is 100% faster at this . EVEN with HUGE documents. Gary

@Paul Mudditt 150 dpi is fine on vectors... If V1 does it with out a hitch then so should V2. Its set at 150 as per printers request. Its never been a issue until now and its to do with OPEN CL as mentioned above. Gary

This seems to be an OPEN CL issue. Disabled it , rebooted and its faster. I have seen this problem in the forums, but thought it was fixed. Gary

I am working on a file ...40x72 inches. 150dpi. Its all vector. No effects, no warps basic fonts and lines and object. I have about 50 items in the file. Its now taking between 3-5 seconds when I click off of one object and select another . Very annoying and not great to work on. Way to slow . I am 10 steps ahead of this software. Not sure what's going on . Check this in V1, is very fast, no delay. Gary

Hello The icon and layer size it much smaller than version 1 when set to large. This makes all the new options added to describe layers harder to see. Perhaps the LARGE mode should be larger. Seem more an issue with 4K screens but still the option to increase the size more isn't there. Perhaps a extra large. Either way, two screenshots attached to show the difference between V1 and V2. This smaller size creates eye strain if your on the computer all day. Gary
