Michel Saguiar Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hey guys I am experiencing performance issues in Affinity Designer, Photo and Publisher after upgrading to version 1.10. Everything was working perfectly with version 1.9, however after upgrading to the new version 1.10, it is unbearable to do any work on the programs, everything very slow and crashing with relatively light work. With all this happening, I decided to train my computer to make the correction of errors and tests to see if it would work better, however it didn't work, the problems with slowness and crashing continues. I don't know what else to do because I need to work with the software and it doesn't work properly like in the previous version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmondo77 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Have you tried going to to preferences - performance - and switching off Metal (if you're on Mac) or OpenCL (PC) and switching to OpenGL ------ may be worth a try if you've not tried already?

Staff Dan C Posted October 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi @Michel Saguiar, Sorry to hear you're having trouble! I agree with Dazmondo77's suggestion above - disabling Metal / OpenCL Hardware Acceleration on Mac / Windows respectively may help resolve the performance issues you're experiencing. If you're still having trouble having changed this setting, please provide a screenshot of your settings under Preferences > Performance within Affinity. Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
