Brush lagging issue Designer 2 Mac OS

[Soo]

Issue: Brush lags significantly when drawing in Affinity Designer 2
System: Mac Studio M2, latest OS, Wacom tablet (PTH-451) using pen
Observations: When using another app like Sketches there's 0 lag. There's also lagging when using a mouse. Not sure if my performance setting are correct but I've tried a few options with no real changes.
I've dug through a number of forms and searches to no avail.

Retry with disabled "Hardware Acceleration: Enable Metal compute ...", so completely disabled Apple M2 Max (Metal).

Thanks for the quick reply.
After having disabled the "hardware acceleration" it's either the same or even worse.
Additional info: I also tried with the tablet plugged in to the mac and no difference. Same as using it wirelessly.
I've also tried in Affinity Photo and similar results.
Also checked with Photoshop and 0 lag - very smooth and responsive. So I'm guessing it has something to do with a setting in Affinity.

Probably the latest macOS Ventura version aren't that good supported at all yet. I recall that others mentioned performance problems here.

And for the macOS Sonoma betas ...

Thanks for the additional info - I guess it's something that will need to be sorted. I'll keep an eye out for any updates from Affinity.
