Articulate Inefficiency on Powerful Computers

I invested in a custom-built computer and no matter what components I install, I don't see a performance increase in Storyline.  I started tracking the usage of the components to see where the bottlenecks are, and have discovered that Storyline routinely under-utilizes the computer (CPU never rises over 10%, neither RAM nor GPU ever go over 40%).  I experience the same latency that I did when I was using a laptop despite seeing a staggering performance increase in programs like Illustrator and Premiere Pro.  I'm not sure why Storyline's performance never improved, but I hope there's something I can do about it.  All suggestions are welcome.  Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Do we know if there are any plans to have a 64-bit version developed?  I know Articulate is enjoying their current place at the top of the heap as the gold standard for course development right now, but there are a handful of updates and features I would love to see and if they don't keep up, I'm afraid with the rising competition that they will be overtaken.  I say this as someone who has faithfully used Articulate software since 2011.
