madPXL Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Each time I zoom in / out on my A4 canvas I have some delay for the first paint brush input (both with wacom tablet and mouse). I don't have this problem on Affinity Photo. (Same config, same brush, same canvas) With smaller canvas it's better but I also feel the slight delay. I tried with OpenGL and Metal to see differences but it's the same for both renderer. laggypaintbrush.mov Quote https://twitter.com/madpxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPaceBar Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hi @madPXL Can you tell me what Wacom tablet you have please? Also, what macOS you are using and what version of Affinity Designer? Does this also happen on all brushes or just a specific one in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPXL Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hi @SPaceBar Wacom Intuos Pro, last macOS Catalina 10.15.5, Affinity Designer 1.8.3. The problem happens with every brush, every sizes (but increase if the canvas is bigger). I noticed that if I wait 2-3s before drawing after I'm using the "scrubby" zoom I have no latency for the first new input. And as I said, I have no problem at all on Affinity Photo. I have the problem with the mouse too if I'm trying to draw with it. Quote https://twitter.com/madpxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madPXL Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi @SPaceBar Any news on it? Quote https://twitter.com/madpxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi @madPXL Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've not been able to reproduce this. I have a Wacom Intuos Pro, macOS Catalina 10.15.5, Affinity Designer 1.8.5. Since your original post there has been a Wacom driver update. I don't know if that has made any difference. Have you installed Driver 6.3.41-2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPXL Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I have the last driver installed, but as I said on the first post, I got the same lag with the mouse too. This happens if you draw very quickly after using the zoom. Also I noticed that if I'm on metal acceleration instead of OpenGL it's more laggy when I'm drawing quickly.

SPaceBar Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yes sorry, I can draw faster with the pen than the mouse which is why that distracted me. I am still unable to reproduce what you are saying, needing to wait 2-3 seconds before drawing. There is a slight delay when it initialises the brush but I don't find I have to wait. Have you tried turning on Pixel Mode on in Designer? That may improve it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPXL Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I just tried, it's better with a slight lag. We can say it's a temporary fix for me, thanks! SPaceBar 1 Quote https://twitter.com/madpxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
