pixeldoggy Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I have to add myself to those users experiencing overall slowness after the update. I tried every preference combination without avail. On top of the app being extremely slow, I experienced some weird issues, like layers suddenly turning white, or layer names and thumbnails in the layer palette disappearing completely, leaving just a gray rectangle. Had to roll back to 1.6.7, which runs very smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmondo77 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I'm having the same problems, more so with large files in designer which crawls along with painfully slow redraw and is very jerky and jittery moving around the document, with few too many beachball moments under 1.7.0 when the same document ran nice and nippy without issue in 1.6 I see you have a nice beast of a machine that I'm guessing ran 1.6 with ease - just wondering if they've made "graphic card improvements" to run like a dream with the new cheesgrater mac? whereas, like you, I chose early on this year to invest in the best possible mac for my needs, a 2009 5,1 mac pro similar to yours which just trashed my previous system in every way, but now It feels pretty un-usable Really hope they are onto this?

pixeldoggy Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Yeah, it's a fairly old machine, but I upgraded it a bit with a larger Nvidia GPU and hacked it to accept High Sierra. Hopefully none of these mods causes the Affinity problems... I'll look into the new Mac Pro once my budget allows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc3636 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I'm hoping they fix this. My App Store/Update icon will have a red 1 badge TFN, I suppose. I really was hoping I'd lurk onto a solution here. Until I find one that seems to work with a wide range of Macs having the 'slows', I'm sticking with 1.6.7. But now all the tutorials that are coming out are now....not for me. I'll be okay.

pixeldoggy Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Their latest beta version seems to have fixed the slowness issues for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
