High Sierra (macOS 10.13) GPU rendering issues with RGB document - Intel Graphics

Illustrator 21.1.0 has issues with GPU rendering in the latest High Sierra public betas:

Paths will appear jagged and generally do not display correctly.

Altering the zoom level affects these artefacts.

Switching off GPU rendering altogether fixes the issue but this way, performance is obviously affected.

Additional Note: Works correctly in CMYK document.

    Hi,

    I would like to know if this issue was resolved or not? When zooming I see my illustrations broken. I have an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB

    Thanks in advance.

    macOS 10.13.4 Beta fixed this issue...

    @Ron Finch Probably unrelated to the graphics issues we are talking about here.

    Radeon Pro 555 2 GB graphics - Although my issue is close. I cant select, the hand tool keeps things and zooms all around, hitting keyboard shortcut keys isnt recognized. I have to hit escape but it just happens again. I turned of GPU and changed the color mode. what next? I need to revise a file today! Recently upgraded to High Sierra and all CC apps are up to date. The lag is crazy. Basically not working.

    Intel HD Graphics 530 1536mb also experiences this issue on macOS 10.13.2. The disable GPU Preview workaround was successful.

    I broke down and traded for a 15” MBP with dedicated graphics.

  • Michael commented  ·   ·  Report

    Its not only Apple. With the Dell xps 13 there are the same Problems....

    Noe I bought a MBP with TB 2016 ans still the same Problems -.-

    Can confirm that macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 (Beta 3) fixed the rendering problem

    When I try to zoom in and out, there's a glitch and it's really annoying.

  • Michelle commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am having the same exact issue. How do we fix this? I am on Mac OS 10.13.3, MacBook Pro 13 inch Late 2016, four thunderbolt 3 ports, 2.9 Ghz with 8gb

    @Anonymous: Because we work with companies and clients that work with Illustrator and other Adobe apps. I like Affinity for personal projects, but at university and at work, I do rely on Illustrator.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why don't you try Affinity designer?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Same problem here and really annoyed! How can it be such an issue is known for 6 months and still not fixed? I pay a lot of money for this software and expect it to run smoothly.

    Right now I can't really use PS, ID, and Ilu

  • Wayne commented  ·   ·  Report

    When will they fix this issue? I can't really work with my Illustrator, Indesign, and Photoshop properly because of all those glitch. I didn't paid for those software for glitching all day long, please fix this asap.

  • Colin commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would advise against those that rely on their computers for work to NOT install a beta version of an operating system.
