devoured_elysium Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Hi, Affinity Designer 1.8 user. Affinity Designer has always frozen A LOT to me. Even when I was using version 1.7. I can reliably reproduce it: 1. Create a new document; 2. Type some text with the Frame Text Tool and select the text; 3. Select the Move Tool; 4. Pick a color for the selected text; 5. Close the color picker screen. The moment you touch anywhere in the grid, the application freezes. I have to kill it through the Task Manager. I'm Running Windows 10. This makes working in Affinity almost impossible :(. It's freezing all the time. pyxelles 1 Quote
pyxelles Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 I thought it was just me as my Affinity Designer used to also freeze constantly. I was hopeful that the update would improve it but it got much worse. Now it's practically unusable because practically every single operation even the simplest move causes it to freeze and it's just so frustrating. I'm also using Windows 10. I ran a compatibility test and I don't understand why it showed compatibility from windows 8 and older but didn't show Windows 10. Quote

In fact it rarely crashes. Never really did, really, for years. Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

The software continued to disappoint and not deliver.
Staff Gabe Posted March 26, 2020 Staff Posted March 26, 2020 Hi all, Can you still replicate this in the latest version (1.8.2)? Quote
