Storyline 360 "lagging"

Yes! I'm having the same issues.  Have actually had this issue for the past week or so.  

I've read through all the troubleshooting articles and tried all that is possible (import to a new file, isolate scenes, re-install, update image driver) and nothing seems to work. 

It's taking an enormous amount of time to make simple edits - about 5 seconds every time I touch an element on the screen. 

Hi Jake and S, 

I'm sorry for the issues you've both run into with Storyline's latest update. I took a look at saw that Jake also submitted a support case for this (thanks!) and my colleague Ryan recommending running through the repair steps here to fix odd or unexpected behavior. 

He also offered a reminder to work on local project files, which is mentioned as a part of the best practices in this article and that if you're only seeing this on one particular .story file to try out importing it into a new file following the directions here.

Let us know if any of those steps help. 

Jake, if you want to update Ryan he can continue to work with you one on one.

S, if you'd also like to work with our Support engineers please reach out here. Let them know if you're able to go through the steps I mentioned and if you share this forum discussion that'll also help.  

I am also having this problem with the lagging. Projects that should take a couple hours are taking days. Was there a solution to this?

Hi all

I raised support case yesterday because I'm also having issues with the latest update.  However, I've sent an email out to all colleagues this afternoon and received nearly a quarter of 'Out of Office replies'.  I wonder if we're all experiencing these issues but the team are attempting to resolve it on reduced resources due to the weather conditions? xxx

Hi Lauren,

The steps shared previously to conduct the repair and ensure you're following along with those guidelines for working with Storyline files are the starting point. In Jake's case, it was narrowed down to one corrupt slide that he needed to rebuild. 

Jo, 

There is a lot of crazy weather right now, but luckily our team is distributed throughout the US and globally! Some of us are impacted, so perhaps a little backlog of cases. Not to worry, I see the case you submitted and it's in the right spot. Our team will be in touch as soon as they can. You mentioned the latest update - did you install the update released yesterday? 

Hi Ashley

I'm using v3.8.13281.0 xxx

Thanks Jo, and I'd start by upgrading to the latest update. Storyline 360 is now on Update 3.13.15006.0 released yesterday. You can install that using the Articulate Desktop Tray app. Let us know how things are behaving after the update! 

Hello all,

I'm having this issue again now. Is there help on the way?

Best, Shawna

Oh no, Shawna.

This conversation is a bit dated, but I'd be happy to help you out.

Do you know what version of Storyline you're using? We are currently on Build 3.26.18601.0 for Storyline 360. You can read all of the details here.

You can check by going to:
Help > About Articulate Storyline

If you update, it will repair your software as well. It sounds like that's what helped others. If you are on the latest update, you can still repair your software.

Let me know what you find. Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way :)

Hello Leslie,

Thank you for your response and suggestion. I has sped up after uninstalling and reinstalling. If I run in to similar trouble in the future I'll try this first. Thanks again!

Glad to hear that things are working better for you, Shawna.

I appreciate the update.

It looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.

Thanks for the heads up!

I had a similar issue with lag recently, and I was confused because I just got a new computer with specs that could render a Pixar movie with no issue.

The problem ended up being my background pic (even though it was in the master file and snagged from 360 content). If your program has a large file background image, it will really make storyline lag.

Hi Shawn,

I'm sorry to hear that you ran into some trouble with this! If a similar issue happens again, we'd be happy to take a look at your file to investigate further.
