Hi there, I have just updated to the subscription v2022. And I'm finding it keeps crashing on me. I have experienced crashing in the past on v2020 because it hasn't liked the fonts. But this is crashing for no reason I can see. Is this happening to others of just me - tempted to go back to v2020
That's interesting Corel are repeatly telling me that it is my system and they can't fix it, very frustrating. I would agree re the fonts.
It's very difficult to diagnose a system issue as there are so many configurations, some done well some not so well. A great processor and RAM can be severely hampered by a substandard mainboard BUSS or a needed BIOS update. Also some well built systems that have for some reason or another did not and do not upgrade Windows properly cause issues.
On my Windows 10 Pro system (64 GB RAM, Samsung 2 TB SSD, 8GB NVidia and 3 TB secondary drive) Draw 2022 runs very well, Saturday working on a 35 page board print working file 8.4GB of memory in RAM and it runs like a top, edit bitmap and effects are zero issues, opening and saving takes about 2 minutes.
I see upgraded Windows 11 systems as the next mess, yes you can force a non-compliant Windows 10 system to upgrade to 11 but you will not serve yourself well.
Yes, board, CPU, and RAM.
Also got another crash. But I think I finally found the main culprit. Previously I thought that having many complex objects on the canvas cause the lag and eventually lead to crash; objects with transparent gradient (gradient that set transparency on the colour) that got another transparent from transparent tool (applying transparent with transparent tool on top of object that already has transparent property from gradient tools. When I have a few of such objects stacking on each other, CorelDraw really struggle to render it. Major lag when zooming or scrolling, or even disappear just to pop out one by one.
I experiment with new file with only four objects as I described.
Zooming in and out of right cirlcle gave me major lag in performance. When I scroll to zoom in, the scroll bar get shorter but on the canvas freeze for 2-3 seconds.
Would be interesting to see your test file.I tried here on my rather modest rig, and zooming in and out with the mouse wheel was very fast.Try the different options for zoom and pan preview resolution in Options > CorelDRAW > Display.
Please post a link to your test file. Unless this file is 80 feet square at 300 DPI I can't imagine that any of my systems would have issues.
Are you using any non-distructive effects that haven't been flattened?
