Darkon Turas Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 980 installed with 64Gb of RAM. A day or two ago, I removed the EVGA GeForce 960 that I had connected to the 980 via SLI. I removed it because Bluestacks was blacking out the screen randomly with it installed. Before then, I was working happily on the provided file for hours on end. Today, the app freezes after only a handful of operations like picking a color from my swatch to apply to the eyes while zoomed in to around 100%.

Komatös Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hello @Darkon Turas try to deactivate the hardware acceleration under preferences --> performance in APhoto. If you have removed physicaly, reinstall the latest driver after deninstalling them complete. Then try with hardware acceleration enabled again.

Darkon Turas Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I turned off OpenCL hardware acceleration, went to GeForce Experience and selected reinstall driver, rebooted, enabled OpenCL hardware acceleration, restarted Affinity, and still got the crash. I then turned off OpenCL hardware acceleration and restarted the app. Performed a similar amount of work by completing my coloring the lips without a crash. So it appears I still have a sticking point with the nVidia drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkon Turas Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 If it wasn't for Bluestacks having issues with SLI, I would be very happy just to leave it like that. I just hate losing in PVP or boss battles simply because Bluestacks decides not to display anything, forcing me to close and reinitialize it - PITA. Not as big a PITA as losing precocious work on a picture that would normally take me an average of sixteen hours to color without the program crashing. I really wish my Microsoft Surface 1 had the screen real-estate to properly use Affinity Photo to color with. So I'm stuck wrestling with an old Wacom Bamboo in an orientation that won't let me use my wrist properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If you have problems with BlueStacks, the best person to contact is BlueStacks itself. Affinity is not responsible for errors caused by a third party with possibly bent system routines.

Darkon Turas Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Too bad that those folks are less than useful when it comes to issues like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
