Trigger Wizard laggy editing values

Feb 03, 2023

I experience lag with the trigger wizard. Is it just me, or does everybody have this problem? (clearly some, but these are a few years old)

The wizard does work, just ... eventually. Triggers and especially those with javascript are especially slow to test as they require publishing and testing outside SL anyway (since the preview can't handle script), this lag just adds considerable time to development when added up over a project.

I just followed a support instruction fully uninstall and reinstall Storyline from my PC + reboot + reinstall because of SL crashes. The trigger wizard hasn't gotten any faster - the interface lags.

I'm on Win 11 Pro, 16GB ram, 3.2Ghz cpu, m.2 nvme - everything else is still snappy.

Hi Tim, 

Sorry to hear that you ran into this behavior. 

If you're already working locally when making changes to your project file, I recommend doing a more comprehensive repair of Storyline 360 by following the steps in this article: 

If the issue persists, open a case with our support team here so we can take a closer look at what's happening.
