64-Bit Storyline 360
Is there a way to access a 64-bit version of Storyline 360? I noticed what I have installed through the 360 suite is only 32-bit and I'm finding that I may be reaching a ceiling with performance whi...
Hi Everyone!
Great news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (version 3.82.31354.0), which includes a new 64-bit version of Storyline 360! Harness the processing power in modern computers with 64-bit Storyline 360. Large, media-rich courses benefit from increased stability and faster performance!
To use 64-bit Storyline 360, please update your Articulate 360 desktop app, then click the Install button next to the Storyline 360 app with the 64-bit and beta labels. The Install button will change to an Open button when the installation is complete.
This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.
This is an issue we see regularly. The cause of the issue is a system issue.
Windows can only allocate a maximum of 2GB memory to 32bit applications. This is a combination of all of the 32bit applications you have open. We quite often see that clients are using Microsoft Office applications and their installed office programme is the 32bit version.
Ideally they would need their IT department to give them the 64bit version so that this free's up the memory to be used by Storyline 360.
To see what you are using you can open up your task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and any open 32bit applications will have (32bit) after the name of the application.
The interim option is to get the user to close down the other applications so that Storyline can have more use of the memory so that the crashes stop and they don't get the low memory error showing up.
The only other thing we can do as mentioned by Articulate staff is to put in a feature request to the Articulate Development team and the more it is mentioned the more hope we have of them looking in to a 64bit version of Storyline 360
