SteveR_UK Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hi, I seem to experience a certain situation of severe performance issue with my pencil tool in wish I have managed to reproduce in this attached AD file I just wondering if there was a simple explanation why I would be experiencing this issue. I would say I have a decent machine (Win 10 pro 64bit) I7, 1080ti, 32gb with latest drivers I thought I do the right thing and report it just in case, it would be interesting if other users experience the same issue Re-creating my issue The issue is if I scribble a line across the image if can take 10-20 seconds to render before finally creating a top layer with the resulting scribble. If however I add a new layer first and then do a scribble with the pencil tool there seems to be no issue Apologies if this is a known issue pumpkin.afdesign Quote Affinity Photo Version 2, Affinity Designer Version 2 on PC and iPad Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor i7-7700K@4.20GHz, 32GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff EmT Posted March 22, 2022 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hi @SteveR_UK I am unable to replicate this behaviour. Could you try unchecking OpenCL Compute Acceleration under Preferences > Performance and seeing if this helps. If this does not help could you attach a screen recording of the issue and a screenshot of your Performance settings Quote How to format a bug report | List of V2 FAQ's | Affinity Photo (V2) Tutorials | Affinity Designer (V2) Tutorials | Affinity Publisher (V2) Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR_UK Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Yep I did try unchecking OpenCL Compute Acceleration (and re-started) and made no difference Quote Affinity Photo Version 2, Affinity Designer Version 2 on PC and iPad Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor i7-7700K@4.20GHz, 32GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR_UK Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hi Hens, Thanks, I would imagine this would be the case , will confirm this when I get time as I said before also if a add a layer before drawing I have no issues Quote Affinity Photo Version 2, Affinity Designer Version 2 on PC and iPad Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor i7-7700K@4.20GHz, 32GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 22, 2022 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hi @SteveR_UK, Seems like an OpenCL acceleration issue. Drawing a second path also doesn't create any lag, only the first causes lag issues. I'm seeing the same here with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M (Win only).

SteveR_UK Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 TBH for some reason on my system the FX (layer effects) have a major impact on performance. If I draw just three curves on the screen and add a layer effect to each of them with say 3d and bevel/emboss enabled, and then start editing the points of the curves , my system grinds to crawl (see Video) I just thought I do the same thing on my iPad and it works great, very smooth, no issues. ??
