EPS not rendering correctly in 29.6.1 when double effect is used.

In 29.6.1, I faced a major major major issue.

All those files where an object has double transparency effect -

 

For example

1) Apply MULTIPLY effect (Try applying on a gradient)
2) Group the object with self (CMD + G)
3) Apply SCREEN effect

 

Result - Totally broken preview. Tried changing color settings but no luck. Eventually rolled back to 29.5.1 and it worked. 

 

Anyone else facing similar issue? Any solution?

Any suggestion please. 

 

Cheers!!!

The EPS format does not natively support transparency effects, such as blending modes like Screen and Multiply. The Illustrator .AI file format does support transparency effects. PDF files can support transparency effects, but must be saved with Illustrator editing capability preserved if the files will be edited further.
