sunfirexed Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Every time i use the software I have notice is getting slower and slower over time specially when I try to use the designer tab inside publisher, its like keep thinking and thinking. Also I use the stock images so much inside the software and the images takes ages to download in the canvas. This was not happening in the fisrt days of using tje software.

4dimage Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi, had a similar experience in publisher - but only after using it over some hours with the same document open. Is it possible for you to have an eye on the RAM usage next time you recognize this behaviour. Maybe you can attach a screenshot of your windows taskmanager showing the resources consumed by the Affinity app when this happens. What are your Windows version and hardware specs?

sunfirexed Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 I have windows 10, ddr4 32 ram installed, the ram consumption is very low, I check already. This do not make sense because I have version 1 and have no problems with it. Its version 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dimage Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 yeah, it feels weird. But i sometimes have the impression that there are some background routines running that don‘t consume much cpu resources but have a higher priority than the actual user inupt. As if something is constantly reorganized in the background - don‘t know 🤔 Quote Hardware: Windows 11 Pro (23H2, build 22631.3296, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22687.1000.0), Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K @3.20 GHz, 64 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX A4000 (16GB VRAM, driver 551.61), 1TB + 2TB SSD. 1 Display set to native 2560 x 1440.

MWOO Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Yes - I have noticed this - the ACER desktop PC is new with Intel i7, Windows 11. Task manager shows Publisher is using 1.6gb memory (82% used). but very low CPU. Adobe InDesign running at the same time is using 52Mb memory. The Publisher response seems to get slower after a couple of hours use on the same document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWOO Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Hello Allan, Affinity contacted me to say that V2.0.3 is now available and this should improve the situation. I have upgraded to this version but I have yet to try it 'in anger' to see if has actually worked, might I suggest that you try and do the same. Regards, MWOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
