Karl H. Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I just updated Publisher to 2.1.0 and regret it a lot. It is crashing every view moments, I can't save the work, recovery file opening doesn't recover the work done before the crash and many tools and commands from V1 are missing or at different positions. This is really frustrating. After installing V2 on my Mac mini (Intel, 16 GB RAM) it crashed only a few times. The many crashes (everey few seconds) occured after using the duplicate command repeatedly with a vector object. Best, Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hi Karl, what are your Performance settings? Is hardware acceleration (Metal) disabled and display set to OpenGL? If not, try changing to those settings. I'm not experiencing any crash issues with v2.1 on my M1 Pro with Ventura. But I have both of the Metal options disabled since those crash a lot.

Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have done the trick. MikeTO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give yourself a gold star! MikeTO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
