Affinity Photo slow with OpenCL and Brushes Panel

[MackSix]

Have problems with Affinity Photo 1.9.2.1035 and this Beta Version 1.10.0.1104

It happens with OpenCL enabled. I have no problems with Designer or Publisher with OpenCL enabled so far.

When clicking the Brushes tab, it takes 5 to 6 seconds to load and clicking the Styles tab take 20-30 seconds to load and the whole program is frozen until it loads. I am seeing some complete freezes sometimes and I click close and get the Windows crash reporter sending info to Microsoft. 

If the Styles tab is already open, before running Photo, it takes 20-30 seconds to start.

Disabling OpenCL solves the problems. 

OS Name    Microsoft Windows 10 Home
Version    10.0.19043 Build 19043

(This is the latest video driver according to Intel)

Hi MackSix,

The driver looks old - you should be on one from at least 2021 - I'd recommend trying to remove the one you have and then doing a fresh install as opposed to updating over the top.

Failing that, perhaps you could export your brushes and send them over to see if I can reproduce. If you want to do that, DM me and I'll send you a link to a private Dropbox folder.
