DigitalVisuals Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 For users who are using Win 11, for me is the beta 1.10.5.1227 the best way to work under Windows 11. I can use it with OpenCL ON and don't have problems with freezes or hangs . There is a better system memory behavior. Regular 1.10.4 hangs on every minute when I use brushes in witch way, mostly it hangs on high memory use. And no OpenCL.

Hans Latour Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Recently purchased Photo and Designer and am running in a (too) frequently freezes of the programms... they just freeze/hang, no crash or error and when I remove the programm with tasks I can restart. I didn't know that Affinity doesn't (yet) runs on Windows 11. Where can I get the beta and is it safe to work with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Latour Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thanks for the links of the beta. But the problem is solved! By turing off the default active 'Hardware acceleration' the freezes are gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
