nitro912gr Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Hey anybody else got any lag introduced with the latest version of affinity designer on windows? Whenever I open a file, the first time I select an operation, let's say double click to edit text or double click to edit nodes, I get a considerable lag spike and app freeze for like 10-20 seconds that shouldn't exist given my hardware, and I tried it again with task manager open and didn't see anything special like chocking a CPU core or anything, so it seems like a software level chock.

Staff Lee D Posted May 2 Staff Share Posted May 2 @nitro912gr Do you have a sample document this seems to occur with or a screen recording? Is Hardware Acceleration enabled/disabled within the apps Settings > Performance? Can you confirm your Windows version and spec of your system?

Evey document does that, even in a new one. Hardware acceleration is disabled because of my older GPU (GCN 1). Edition Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 Installed on 4/1/2024 OS build 19045.4291 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0 The rest of the System: CPU R5 5500 2X 8GB DDR4 2666 RAM Mobo Asus with B450 OS and Apps on M.2 nVme Crucial P3 1TB have a couple more drives but are only for storage and not working any files from there. After I posted this it also started hanging on startup with 20% usage of CPU just to open designer, not to open any file. At first I suspected the high amount of fonts but this lag in tools happens even if I make a box and convert to curves. Also tried with fonts disabled, same lag in opening and while selecting tools in the doc. After the first time it goes away but there is just a bit of activity in the CPU and that's it, no reading from any disk or anything. Also the % of CPU may change, one time I open and it goes 20% and still hangs for 10-20s, the other time it may be at 10%. As I said this was not present since the very last update I got. Since it updated in app I think I have installed the msix version of designer. edit: this is not happening in my home system that is similar, but I don't know right now which windows version it have. It have slower SATA m.2 crucila, slower DDR4 (still 2X 8GB ) but a much more powerfull RX 5500XT 4GB as a GPU. I will also test in my laptop later which have an AMD APU 5425U I think.
