SportyPete Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hello Affinity After every hour or so Affinity become none responsive. I need to do a force quit and restart Affinity photo. This is a common event for the last past two weeks. I've attached a log file for your reference if it helps. Thanks Pete Affinity Log File.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Do you have hardware acceleration on? Edit->Preferences->Performance Try turning it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardMH Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Are your graphics drivers up to date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportyPete Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hi Richard I'm using a MacBook pro 2018 and just checked all drivers and they are all up to date. OS SW is updated to latest version as they are published.. Currently on Monterey 12.5 Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Thought you were on Windows. Hardware acceleration causes that problem there. I have to have it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hmm, could be due to a WindowServer related blocking (see therefor also: WindowServer (+ SkyLight)). - Do you use any external monitor connected to the MacBookPro?

SportyPete Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Safari is is OK.. The Affinity Photo is a stand alone. Web / IP interface should not be an issue.. Just checked the system no virus, no spyware... All clean...Memory and file checksum all OK... Strange... Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is just Affinity Photo affected, or do other apps sometimes stall too? - It's possible APh has still some glitches under Monterey. What's are your performance settings under preferences? If set to Metal try OpenGL instead, in order to see if it makes any difference!

SportyPete Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thanks... This is the performance current setting... Will try the open GL.. Yes it's only Affinity impacted.. No to Publisher and Designer.. Capture One is Also OK.. Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
