Experiencing similar artifact issues using the contour tool in the latest release of AD (1.9.1.979). I didn't want to create a duplicate thread, so posting here. This happens with OpenCL disabled as well as enabled. Please see the attached video. Hardware specs: AMD Ryzen 4800h with RTX 2060 (laptop) running Windows 10 20H2. All drivers updated to the latest (Nvidia studio). PS: I'm also seeing high CPU usage with this release (sudden spikes up to 90-100%), which wasn't the case with the 1.8.x versions. This pushes the CPU temps dangerously close to the 100 degree Celsius mark. The GPU usage remains very low, however, barely exceeding 50% in a stressful document. I know vector programs are CPU-heavy but wasn't the 1.9 version promising full HW acceleration support with the new Nvidia drivers? Affinity_Designer_2021-03-02_19-36-22.mp4

Unable to sign in to any of the apps. - Did you buy the app from the Microsoft Store? Yes - What version of Microsoft Store do you have running (found towards the bottom of the Settings page)? Version 12011.1001.1.0 - What's the version number of c:\windows\system32\RuntimeBroker.exe? Version 10.0.19041.746 - Are you running any anti-virus software? If so, what is it? McAfee LiveSafe Ver 6.0 (Release 16.0 R29)

Instead of being forced to use HW acceleration by default, it would be better to implement a splash screen of sorts (like in many video games) which presents the option to users at the time of startup. I don't want to miss out on using the program just because I have (supposedly) obsolete hardware that is limited to DX11. For all I know, I may never even be using it to create very large, complex pieces of work that demand powerful GPUs. The software/processor based implementation would suffice for my use case 🙂.

I really like the direction APub is going in with the new data tools. To make this tool even more useful, please add the functionality to make some common graphs (bar, pie, line, etc) using the imported data. It seems like a simple addition, but it would hugely speed up my workflow.

Has this issue been resolved or should I downgrade to the previous beta version? I'm unable to apply any vector brush style to the stroke of shapes drawn in Windows AD beta. The document is incompatible with the regular (non-beta) version so I'm basically stuck. Please release a fix asap.
