jop Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Does this happens to anyone else? After about 30mins of usage for both Designer and Publisher I will have massive lag for both programs. Doesn't matter how light/ heavy that graphical content/task I'm working on. So far a reset solve the issue temporary, but it doesn't takes too long before it gets laggy again.

Elise Kleve Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I can leave Affinity Publisher open for days when I'm working on a project. No lags at all. Maybe share your PC specs and the programs that also run alongside Designer and Publisher so that we can suggest relevant solutions.

jop Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 ryzen 1600 16gm ram gtx1070 1T hdd, 250gb nvme, 500gb+250gb ssd Most of the time I don't open other programs alongside when I'm using Designer or Publisher. Unless I need to ie Illustrator trace and offset path features. Some photoshops thats about it. FYI both photoshop and Illustrator doesn't have this weird slow down or lag after a certain period of time of usage, unless working with huge file/asset on my system. Other program like blender, Clipstudio paint and Hitfilm do not have this issue too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise Kleve Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 That's unusual. Did you update the apps? Possible causes: 1) Malware. Solution: Download Malwarebytes and scan the whole system for malware. Remove any detected malware and restart PC. 2) Hard drive where apps are installed is old Solution: Reinstall the apps into your SSD 3) Too many background apps Solution: disable all apps that you don't need under startup tab in Task Manager. Restart PC. 4) Too many installed fonts. Solution: Download Nexus Font Manager and uninstall all of the fonts that you don't use. jop 1 Quote Desktop: Affinity Publisher 1.8.5, Windows 10 Professional, version 2004 (19041.450), 16GB memory, AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.60GHz, RX 570 Laptop: Affinity Publisher 1.8.2, Windows 10 Home, version 2004 (19041.450), 8GB memory, Intel Core i5-4200M @ 2.50GHz, Intel HD Graphics 4600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise Kleve Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Also, if you're running Photoshop at the same time, check your settings on performance.

Probably should be no.4. Always see the font cache thingy pops up whenever I copy and paste stuff from AI to Designer. Publisher.

Sharp_Brothers Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I have the same problem...had same problems on my last rig too. Bought a new desktop last week still getting major slow down and lag in Designer. Running Windows 10, SSD HD, 16gb ram, GeForce RTX. No other apps running using a fresh boot and still general poor performance from Designer especially when using cinitq pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted June 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hi All, if you are experiencing poor performance please could you take a screenshot of the entire performance window in the apps preferences and add it to this thread?

I uninstalled most of the fonts that I rarely use and it helped.
