nuah a Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Same Affinity V1 files which were very smooth back then is now stuttering in V2, moreover when V1 applications stutters it's just the program which crashes. V2 is slowing down my entire computer I can't click out or switch applications or even use my keyboard, the letters on screen appear much later after typing. This wasn't the case for V1 even V1 would slow down or crash but it wouldn't take my PC with it. The files I'm working on are very light there's not many layers or operations in it, yet V2 is struggling to keep up. I also noticed copy/paste issue in PHOTO V2, layers that I copy from Designer V2 aren't pasting in PHOTO V2 workspace, I get an error that "this object cannot be formatted for PHOTO" This wasn't the case within the V1 suite. My computer configuration is: Windows 10 Professional (Build 19044) Intel i5-9400F Nvidia GTX 1660 16GB RAM (8x2, 3000mhz) 240GB SSD (C Drive) 1TB HHD (Media Drives) Gigabyte H310M S2 2.0 Thanks!

bobandstuff Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm also having severe performance issues. Raw files are extremely slow to open and Affinity 2 locks up and is unusable while other applications are fine. I had no issues in the older version and was actually able to make the same edits more quickly using the old version on a 10 year old machine. When I check the CPU usage and Ram usage for the computer, it is surprisingly low. Windows 11 Home AMD Ryzen 5625U 24 GB Ram 240 GB SSD and 1 TB SSD Hopefully the bugs get smoothed out as more people start using V2 and reporting issues. nuah a, k4mmilcz and Kev Borg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aongus Collins Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I experienced a slowdown in opening files in Photo 2, and other issues, but disabling a preference solved the issue for me. Select Edit > Preferences > Performance. Then make sure that 'Enable OpenCL compute acceleration' is unchecked. You'll need to to restart the application for this to take effect. I've done this in all 3 applications. Windows 11 Pro Intel i7-7820HQ 16 GB RAM 512GB SSD Kev Borg and nuah a 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndapps Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Wish I had a solution! The difference between V1 and V2 for loading a NEF of ca. 28MB is around 5 times slower for V2. It's a shame as the product is so brilliant and such amazing value for money. I have followed the suggestions above and am using the same settings for V1 and V2, running on the exact same configuration, of course.

ThirardCherbourg Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I have some problems of quickness. Take a heavy svg file and try to group all elements in one group. In 1.0 version it s nearly instantanate ( perhaps 1 second), same picture in 2.0, it doesnt finish. ! I return to my old software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirardCherbourg Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 take a big svg picture, group all elements in one group. Try the same picture in version 1 and after in version 2. The first one is instaneous ( one second), and version 2, it s not finshed after 5 minutes ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirardCherbourg Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 There is a very slowness in the group command. The same picture with an all select and group command are nearly instantaneous with the v1 and with the v2 doesn't finish the group command ( command freezes the software) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal Deluxe Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 This is pretty much unusable. Even without loading in any project my mouse cursor is refreshing at ~1fps! I've tried adjusting all the rendering options under the performance settings and restarting. I'm running a 2070S, 32gb ram and at 1440p 21:9.

johndapps Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Having also noted that load performance in V2 is very slow, I have to add that, once an image (RAW) is loaded, the processing time in V2 is equal and often better than in V1. So, thank you Affinity for getting that nit right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hashtag amazing Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Similar problem here, in designer and publisher, when getting into complex designs the whole program start to reacts slow at some point. It seems to me that my entire pc is getting slow but not noticing any increased usage loads in the windows task manager. I compared it with the same files in Affinity 1 Designer and publisher and there is no slowdown there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabirdr Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I encountered the same performance problem. It is very easy to happen. But I have not found the cause of the bug. When running slowly, switching between Move Tool, Node Tool and Pen Tool will stuck for one or two seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvgraph Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I opened another topic but I think this is the same problem so I add my previous report here as well. I found out that Affinity Designer has a strange cap in the FPS (like stuttering or low FPS) moving objects around. I have a 144hz monitor and in Affinity Designer 2 the FPS seems to be 50 or even lower for example when I'm dragging a circle or even when I'm adjusting the size of a form... It is uncomfortable because it seems as if the whole program is going slow or with spikes, but it is not the case. This was better in Affinity Designer 1, it was not that snappy, but it was less noticeable than in AD2 I tried changing the Renderer for WARP and turning on and off the Hardware Acceleration (obviously resetting the program in each change) and nothing works, low fps at dragging or moving objects around is still there.

johndapps Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thank you! In my case I am using Affinity Photo (AP), so not seeing quite the same behaviour as you, I think. What I have found is that loading the image (NEF of 28MB or so) is not where time is being spent as the I/O to disk is almost 0; it is CPU time which is being spent. As I mentioned, once the phot has been loaded, and I have panoramas with up to 10 photos, the processing is faster than in V1 for which I am very grateful!

kaylon Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Same issue here in Designer especially, Even working on relatively simple docs it's very slow to respond between interactions, takes 3-5 seconds to select or deselect. I have found that turning compound/grouped elements in raster has improved this but it's not a solution. My PC is not brand new or anything but it's not a potato yet and should still have a fair performance with such files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've realised that not using Designer in full screen, even if I expand it so it almost fills the screen, is getting rid of my stuttering issues. Hope this helps someone else until updates and fixes arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff EmT Posted November 18, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 18, 2022 Hi @nuah a Could you try unchecking OpenCL Compute Acceleration under Preferences > Performance and seeing if this helps. If the issue persists then let me know.

Kraptan Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The performance of all applications dropped considerably. In Designer there is a delay in the selections and everything gets slow; in Publisher there is also a delay in the selections and, in addition, it is almost impossible to resize the text frames since it does so after several seconds. I've had to continue working with version 1 which has no issues (okay some but no performance issues).

mhgd Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Having the same issue where Designer 2.0 is unbearably slow between interactions even in relatively basic documents. It will often take 3 or 4 seconds to do anything, even as simple as selecting different objects. I have no issues with the same files on v1. This issue is making v2 pretty much useless from a production point of view. Windows 11 22H2 AMD Ryzen 3900XT 80GB Ram RTX 3090 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rægenworks Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Same issues here, significant lower performance. I worked on a new iMac and with V1 there was no problems. Right now I can't even draw a line without a lack of 3 seconds between drawing and showing the line. I reinstalled the old version and work with this until they fix somehow in the future. Even after the ne update there is still no change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardingmal Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yeah, just came searching for help on this issue. I select an item in Designer 2 and it takes a couple of seconds to select, totally unusable. Now I've turned off Open CL acceleration it seems to be OK So GPU acceleration is currently a bit broken in V2 danielzu and SrPx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielzu Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 After a few minutes it becomes very slow to select items. Clicking takes a few seconds and is very annoying. I already changed the performance configuration options for all the possible ones and it doesn't work. Please fix this, it's very annoying and you lose work time!
