Vegandi Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hi Guys. My name is Andreas Schmidt from Germany. Who of you used Affinity Photo and Designer on a new MacPro with D300 graphics card? I use the programs Affinity Photo and Desinger on a new MacPro and I must say that's rather poor performance compared to my MacBookPro (2012). It takes more than 40-60 seconds before launch the two programs on the MacPro, on the MacBook just 2 seconds. Even when processing OpenType fonts, the Great is more sluggish compared to the Little ones. Can someone confirm the problem ???? It is a clean and newly installed OS X 10.10.4 with 16GB of memory. Access rights were checked and repaired. Thanks for your help and sorry for the bad english. Best regards from Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards from Germany It seems AP's performance is totally dependent on specific Macs/configuration but the devs can't isolate the problem. I had massive lag whenever I used AP and I was never able to fix it. The crazy part is, there are people with macs older than mine having zero issues. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10693-help-ap-is-very-slow-laggy-on-my-mbp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimGoshorn Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm on a 2009 Mac Pro, dual 2.93, 16gb RAM, ATI Radeon 4870 w/512mb VRAM running OSX 10.9.5 and while it's no speed demon, I am not seeing a real lag problem. Have been thinking of updating to a new Mac Pro so I am watching for Serif's response to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted July 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 25, 2015 Vegandi, I use a very similar machine to yours to develop Affinity Photo - and I don't have any performance issues.. Have you tried holding down the Ctrl key when starting Affinity, then choosing to clear settings? Also, if you have a few spare moments, could you create a new user account on the Mac Pro, and check if the problem persists there? If it persists, then we must start looking into what other software might be installed which could cause this problem. Thanks, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegandi Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hello there, And thank you for your comments and efforts. I could locate the problem and it seems to be a problem FONTS ! I have 2 new user created, one with my OpenType fonts, the other only with standard fonts (systems-fonts) .... With my OpenType fonts the MacPro reacts more slowly than without my standard fonts (systems-fonts). An external font manager, the one could be integrated into AP and AD, would be nice :-) Best regards Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonatoF Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hi Andi- If you haven't done so already, try running the Font Book application, select all fonts, and then run File> Validate Fonts, look for duplicates and corrupt fonts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegandi Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hi DonatoF, Have your tip times conducted found no broken fonts or duplicate fonts. I'm going to delete multiple fonts, let's see what it brings :-( Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
