DonLee Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The spinning rainbow ball to show the computer is thinking is constantly & disruptively interrupting me when using the pressure sensitive pen on the Kamvas 22 plus with Affinity Photo on my iMac with a 3.8 ghz 8 core i7 & 72 gigs of ram. The computer will crash unexpectedly when using the pressure sensitive pen with Affinity Photo. This only happens with Affinity Photo. I have used Photoshop, Krita & Sketchbook in combination with my Huion Kamvas with out problems. Included are 2 attachments. One shows the crash screen. The second larger file shows the spinning rainbow ball constantly interrupting my drawing (the 2 minute video showing interruption is a short excerpt from a longer drawing session-9 min that was interrupted throughout in the same way. Please help me resolve this. I have a following for my art & note what products I use. I also stream my art on Twitch & will talk about problems or how good a product is while using it. I like your product but this issue has made me use other software. Kamvas22-freeze-2min.mp4 Huion Crash screen-v4.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonLee Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hi DWright, as shown in the video with the male character being drawn, there never was a crash report, despite the computer restarting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no crash reports when I was running OS 11.6.1 and logged in as a regular (non administrator) account. Once I set my account to be an administrator then the crash reports were generated. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLee Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) I am administrator for my computer. Normally I do get crash reports however, for this instance I do not.

DonLee Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Months & a program update later & I still have the same problem with Affinity as stated above. Krita 5 works with out any problem so I've been using it but I'd prefer to use Affinity Photo because of some of the functionality. Is there anything that can be done?

Staff DWright Posted March 29, 2022 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hi @DonLee, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you I do not have access to a Huion Kamvas but I have been trying to replicate this with my XP-Pen Artist without success so this may be specific to this type of tablet and without a crash report it is hard to narrow down the cause, on thing you could try is turning off the Metal compute acceleration and changing the render to OpenGL in the Performance section of the Affinity Photo Preferences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
