JPBERUTTI910 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Same, i checked task manager and i didn't find anything wrong . The only thing i noticed is that V2 eat less ram than V1 , or at least takes more time to consume what v1 consumes in like 1 hour of use.

PD1234 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Dangerous Yes, i'm using Nvidia graphics card. Drivers up to date. I got eventually PSD file to open after several attempts of closing and re-opening the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes with the studio driver you can switch on OpenCL and speed up the workflow but try first with it disabled. Also the Windows 22H2 update has to be done manually at the moment and that also speeds things up. APW-Design 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'v not found a way to check but I guess if you don't know then you have the games ready driver. Go to Nvidia driver site https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx fill in the boxes selecting download type - studio. search for the driver for your card, download & install.

dhoopy Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 On top of the relentless crashing of Publisher 2 in Windows 11, I am also experiencing gradual deterioration in system performance when Designer is open for extended periods of time. Killing it off via Task Manager is often the only way to exit as the application was completely unresponsive after leaving it for 12 hours or so. ALT+TAB between applications was impossible, but functionality of the system as a whole returned once Designer v2 was force closed... Not sure if its a memory leak, or some other problem. System is a Dell Precision M3800 running 21H2 with cumulative update 22000.1281. Hardware acceleration is not supported. There is something fundamentally unresolved with version 2 of this suite - version 1 runs responsively and without issue on the same system...

No need to shout if you don't know how to find which drivers you are using on your computer. In the taskbar right click on the "NVdidia Settings" icon and select "NVidia GForce Experience". At the to click on "Drivers". Two lines below you will see which drivers you are using You can also get there by searching "nvidia" in Windows. For the difference search on nvidia site.

Simon Eskildsen Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I have the exact same issue with v2, and would love a fix! After working about an hour I start noticing a lag in every action. If I keep working through it slowly becomes completely unusable. This is really not working out, so I have reverted back to v1 until 2.1 hopefully fixes this big bug. (Had to copy and paste a lot between the versions to rebuild my work in a v1 file.) I tried looking at the ram and cpu usage, but seems fine. nothing out of the ordinary. I have tried some of the ideas here, when I have some spare time I will give the last ones a go, but it’s hard to test for myself since I need to work for about an hour before noticing if anything is different.. and if not, I would have to again copy and paste work back into a v1 project.. pretty infuriating update so far I would say. Hopefully the money earned here is going into stability improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGNDM Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Same problem over here. I bought the V2 because I was really happy with Affinity having the version V1, but it's really SLOWER after a while even selecting objects. It sometimes takes a full second selecting one single object. As other users here, I've been monitoring the system and everything works smooth and fine but Affinity Designer. I've tried deactivating GPU acceleration and nothing works. It's my main design software and at this time it should be fixed it. I'm running Designer on Win10, Ryzen 5800X, 32Gb, RTX 3070 and a SSD disk, so it is not a hardware problem. SteveR_UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPBERUTTI910 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 is anyone experiencing the same problem ( less and less performance when Designer is open for extended periods of time) on version 1.10 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Ricaurte Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 iHi, there is indeed a difference, I am using 99% shorcuts when designing, and after a while there is an incredible delay that makes you want to close the application and not use it anymore, and it is with basic things like moving a layer select it or change tool as they say above. I have tried turning on and off hardware acceleration as they say in other post but there is no difference. Quote @irolandricaurte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tool switching takes a good second to happen, and my zooms are risky as it can freeze any time. But as we didn't have any official answer, this problem is still not known by devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PD1234 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Mine still crashing the same as before latest update.

Please be aware as we’re approaching Christmas we have limited staff working so it may take some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.R Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 On 11/27/2022 at 5:52 PM, SKT7 said: Hi, When I use Designer V2 - it works fine for sometime (may be an hour or so - can't be exact on this) but then it starts slowing down and everything becomes really laggy. For example, the selection of any object, selection of a new tool from the toolbar by click or by keyboard shortcut, selection of a context menu button takes 3-5 sec or more! I have the same problem with affinity photo and aff designer. Sometimes it works and it sundenly slows down to a point it becomes unworkable. What I draw appears about 6 o r 10 seconds after. It makes me crazy ! And the export to pdf doesn't work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
