nodeus Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Well, I have a solution. go to %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\ and rename the "1.0" to "1.0 old ver" and restart Publisher. This is work for me. stedaho 1 Quote designer butcher — nodeus.ru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivus55 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi Experienced same situation. Lag and jumpiness with images. Tried solution by Nodeus which seems to have worked for me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert V Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Mine too. Before the update to version 1.9 everything was very fast. Since the update, the program starts much slower and everything feels slow. Especially when typing text, there is a big pause until the letters appear. I have also disabled OpenCL, but without improvement. My System: Ryzen 3700X, 32GB RAM, RADEON RX5700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyClownShoes Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I have the same issue here. @NODEUS, that solution worked for me too! Thank god, I thought it was my AMD processor for a moment there.

Jivix Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Fix helped me, but I can see there is still quite a lot of UI jitter going on, especially when dragging elements around. I double checked the settings and the new GPU acceleration is on. After about 5 minutes of editing it is acting very sluggish again, though not as bad as before. All of the elements on the screen are constantly flickering and refreshing as I make changes. This is really annoying. I can't even type in a text box without massive lag.

SaltyClownShoes Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The biggest issue I have with 1.9, other than the return of the lag (which happens over an hour), is that the text zoom is horrible. All my text is jagged and zooming out from documents produces barely legible documents. I can't stand it. Using Affinity has been a labor of frustration for me. It's still no where near as stable as Serif was, even though Serif was clunky with large documents... it was rock solid and never crashed.

stedaho Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I can confirm this issue with the horrible performance after upgrading to 1.9. Also using an AMD Ryzen 3700X. I can also confirm nodeus' workaround solving the - but I investigated further and found out that it is enough to delete/rename the file WindowProfile.xml in %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\Workspaces\Publisher. So all other settings despite of the window positions will be kept. Hope this helps someone as long as the issue is not fixed by affinity.

Gmit Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Can confirm that issue on my (oldish) hardware (4790K, gtx970, 32GB ram) too. 1.8 was way smoother. That fix from @stedaho also works for me. Not quite as smooth as 1.8 but at least i can work without getting an headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfpics Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I too have found it very laggy; I have Intel I7 10th gen CPU. Nodeus' fix seems to have done the trick for me - thanks! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted February 8, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 8, 2021 If you all still have your "old" app data folder, can you zip it and upload it using this link? https://www.dropbox.com/request/ahw7WffS9en1Ogj1ZowJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stedaho Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 @Gabe Do you need the whole folder or will the WindowProfile.xml enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkerMB Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 In my case the workaround/fix suggested by @nodeus didn't work. My impression is that the issue affects AMD powered machines to a larger extend as Intel powered ones. In particular typing in textframes is a nightmare. Interesstingly APub never consumes more than 4% of the CPU (as per Windows Task Manager) but stutters while typing. Sometimes APub runs two seconds behind my fingers...

Robert V Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I renamed my old folder. It has aprox. 2GB. The new one just 243KB. But its still slow and laggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted February 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks all. We figured it out. It's actually the Paragraph panel that's causing the slowdown. If this is opened/in view, the app seems to be quite slow. CTRL reset / renaming the app data will start the app with the paragraph panel hidden, so it looks like it fixes the issue (until you open it back up). The workaround for now would be not to have it in view. jop, Llyud and stedaho 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stedaho Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thank you @Gabe, I can confirm that closing the paragraph panel fixes the issue. Thanks for digging into that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkerMB Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Good to know that the Paragraph panel is the cause of the problem. So let's hope for a quick fix. Because... running a DTP app without the Paragraph panel...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted February 11, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 11, 2021 The 1.9.1 beta has a fix for this issue.

Old Colonist Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Same here. Windows 10. Also, program crashes when I try to print. First time I've had any issues with any of the Affinity programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is work for me. This definitely works, thank you. I have done little looking into the differences between the newly instantiated folders and the prior ones, but there are some differences here and there. Maybe there is a mistake in the update process to update a settings xml files I can see. Hopefully an update fixes this issue, as it is a bit annoying how it clears out a lot in this process. UPDATE: Only works temporarily. Begins lagging again not too long after, despite so few (literally not even 5 text boxes on screen) Edited February 11, 2021 by Grimofdoom status update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
