Slow performance and other bugs

[YulianD]

Best regard.

1) I have tried Affinity Designer and I liked it a lot to illustrate, but unfortunately it has a performance problem in windows 10 and 11.

When I make illustrations with many objects, the program becomes very slow, when moving objects, when moving the stroke modifier bar (it is so slow that you have to enter the number otherwise it is impossible), when applying effects, when modifying figures , when moving a point.

I have tested the program on two PCs:

Quote

Windows 10 pro
Intel I5 8500H
22GB RAM
4 GB Nvidia 1050
400GB NVMe SSD

Quote

Windows 11 pro
Intel i7 12K
16GB RAM
12 GB Nvidia RTX 3060
400GB NVMe SSD

In both runs the same, slow.

 

2) And another problem is that it pixelates a linked element as I show it in the attached image. I have to get very close to be able to see it well. Now the problem is also that when I export it, it does it wrong, it exports it with the pixelated image and it shouldn't be like that.

 

Thank you for your attention.

Hi @YulianDand Welcome to the Forums,

Can you just try clicking Edit>Preferences and on the Performance section untick openCL if its enabled and close Preferences, you'll be asked to restart Affinity and once restarted, please try using the app and see if its any quicker now.

Could you attach the afdesign file or upload it to our Dropbox here and i'll take a look at why this is happening.
