nezumi Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Why somebody who is not a developer would want to use two betas in different locations anyways? For what? Only comments to latest beta are relevant here. It all sounds like a nitpicking. "But hey, it would be better if I could install 7 betas, each in different location, get all confused and comment on already irrelevant issues". Yeah it would be fantastic but you should try USING IT instead of fiddling endlessly with an install. Its way more fun IMO. On other thought - I would LOVE to have patience of @Patrick Connor or @Asser82 . Wosven, Mark Ingram, MEB and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can occasionally be useful if something was broken in the retail version and in the latest beta, and you want to check that you weren’t imagining it was fixed in the previous beta and then broken again, but I suppose such things should be left to the developers or QA staff. < nitpick > Nitpicking is uncountable, like sunshine, so (in the same way as we never have two sunshines) you can’t have “a nitpicking” rather than just “nitpicking”. < /nitpick > crlogic and AiDon 2 Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 There is some discrepancy in the usage of the Denoise Filter in the menu and the Live-Filter. The Denoise Live-Filter resets the "extreme" checkbox if you go under 50% - the menu filter has a different behaviour. And the Detail Slider has no function.

Asser82 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The more interesting question is, why the Affinity guys comment things on sundays, instead of turning their steaks on the grill. Hopefully this does not end in burnouts. Mark Ingram and Tschens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altae Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The new beta works well so far for me. But what I noticed is a huge performance deterioration compared to the release version. Everything is far slower, the histogram only updates with delay and merging layers can take really long, definitely much longer than in the retail version. Is this due to some beta debug code? Or something that has been introduced with this beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altae Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I will try to do that. I the meantime I discovered that using the undo and redo commands (I mostly use ctrl + z or ctrl + y for this) is very slow while in the retail version it's almost instant.

Rafal Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I have missed couple betas, This one seems to handle my Wacom ctl-480 much better than previous versions. I have to test it more, but is seems like the initial stroke lag is finally gone. Mark Ingram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max N Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Also noticed a significant drop in performance. Trying to change the size of the brush from a small one to a very sick one (from the tablet wack) leads to a long hang of the program. The cursor changes its size with a long delay, from a few seconds to a minute. At the same time, the CPU utilization is oversized. In the retail version, everything is fine. And when you move the cursor with the mouse and move the cursor with the stylus pen of the tablet (without pressing), then the performance may also differ significantly (for the mix kishiti). In this case, the PC is not weak. i5-4670/8Gb/SSD-disc/GeForce GTX 650 __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.

Works with no issues in Photoshop CS6, Zbrush, 3DCoat etc. The second post in the linked thread shows the bugs (short clips). Hi! Unfortunately, I can confirm that! Using a Wacom Cintiq Companion, Windows 10 1709. Clip Studio etc. work flawlessly, but AP is almost unusable when drawing. Very slow viewport performance, 'jumpy' brush... maybe the palm recognition is broken? ... CPU load is pretty high, too, the fan is often at maximum. Just doing some rather simple line artwork here.
