mediumcheese Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 It's annoying that we have to wait on hotfixes for critical bugs because you guys want to bundle them in with feature updates. Just push out bug fixes on their own. Designer has been almost unusable for me since the last update. GenewalDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted March 2, 2023 Staff Share Posted March 2, 2023 I'm sorry to hear this @mediumcheese - we've recently released the v2.1 beta to the public not only to get our users feedback directly on the new features but as we're aware this contains many bug fixes and improvements our users have been patiently awaiting. Have you signed up for the beta version and tried using this, to resolve your issue? Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Milo_D Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Any update on the v2.1 release timeline? v2.04 continues to crash for me, and I keep losing a work because the recovery point does not capture all the changes. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted April 1, 2023 Staff Share Posted April 1, 2023 Unfortunately we don't yet have a concrete release date for 2.1, however you are welcome to sign up and use this beta using the above link to resolve the crashing issues in the meantime Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

mediumcheese Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 @Dan C Using the beta is not a viable solution for those of us who use this for professional work, because as stated on the beta page: Quote However, since the beta software has not yet been commercially released, it may contain errors, have stability issues and generally may not function as well as our retail versions. For this reason, we would not advise using the beta versions for important production work. Please also consider that documents saved in the beta versions may not be backward compatible with the currently released version. I really hope y'all take some serious consideration in changing your development pipeline to allow critical bug fixes to get released in their own updates. This list of bug fixes for 2.1 is INSANELY long. There's no reason all these fixes should be blocked by a big feature update. We've been dealing with crashes every 2-15 minutes for MONTHS now. It's just so utterly disappointing. Please, I beg of you all as a fan of this suite, do better.

I think it's also within our right to ask Serif why they haven't pushed critical bug fixes in smaller patches similar to 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. Given their failure to address program-breaking issues in a timely manner and the inherent risks of the beta version, I've stopped working with Designer 2 almost completely. It really is sad to see... mediumcheese, Calvert and thegary 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about being zoomed in , spikes the CPU to 100% over and over.....This also seems to be the issue around lagging the longer the software is open. I used to happen with warps, but now seems to happen even with NO effects at all. Shouldn't be this way. Still using V1 because of this.
