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.
It looks as if the focus for Articulate is on trying to make Rise the go-to tool for eLearning Development. They have shuttered Storyline 3, and there have been ... minimal... improvements to the absolute basic functionality within Storyline360 (has anyone tried drawing a curved line recently?) on really, really basic feature requests for nigh on 10 years.
What makes any of us think that Articulate is listening or even cares about our issues with this clunky software? Why do we think that the ability to make bespoke eLearning Solutions™ for our clients in any way benefits Articulate when, with the priority on Rise, ANYONE can make an eLearning Course with ease - "No Skills Necessary"? It's just WYSIWYG modals and text slammed in. Simples.
The idea that 64-bit development will make them money over a web-based offering that anyone can use is, sadly, delusional, I feel at this stage. It's such a pricey subscription for so many things I NEVER use in order to use an app that is shonky at best, and neglected as worse, is just infuriating to me.
Rumour had it that there was a Mac version in the pipeline a few years ago, but, yeah...
I'm not holding my breath for any major, profound and useful update to Storyline 360 in the near future, and indeed, suspect it will be shuttered as well as soon as Rise usage gains critical mass.
