Low on Memory?! Cant save!

Betsy raises am interesting question that I've been trying to figure out: is there a way for one Storyline project to "call" another, that would enable us to break up large projects (mine currently has 14 modules and is headed for 32, each with 10+ sides and each slide with at least 3 layers, audio and lots of graphics, including video).

I've got a deadline next week and Storyline keeps crashing due to this memory problem.  My 'course' is a massive branching scenario with variables that track a user's success rate. 

The storyboard has been written - storyboard approved - SME  input done, hours and hours of work, and now it's all unraveling because Storyline can't handle the file size.  Other than the 'unofficial' suggestion - can we break the course up and then link it back together some how?  I have an employee near tears over this mess.

My client does not have an LMS and we will be publishing to their web-server.

Thank you!

Storyline isnt powerpoint, not sure you can compare the memory usage.

@Johnathan Brouwer thanks the patch seems to be working for me

This is great news thanks!

I think you should probably look into how much RAM Storyline uses, seems excessive...

If I add the same amount of slides in Powerpoint with no interactions on both obviously and the same styles Storyline uses way more memory. How come?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your feedback on behalf of Articulate! As always I feel confdent that you will solve the problem (hope soon)!

Best of luck and cheers!

To add on or clarify what the issue is, and correct me if I'm wrong.

Win 32bit only reads up to 4gb of ram in the computer.  Win also allows an individual app to access up to 2gb of that ram, by default.

Hi everyone, 

Just wanted to reiterate what Christine shared: This is something our QA and development teams are aware of, and they're working really hard so that Storyline can handle large projects with more ease in the near future. We don't have any insight to timeframes for updates, but you'll want to enable the "Check for updates at startup" feature in Storyline to be notified when new updates get released.

In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience this is causing and look forward to sharing the update with you. Thanks for understanding.

This is happening on the majority of my large projects now. I would hope there is an update soon and we don't have to wait for a whole new release.

This is costing us a lot of time, its hard to concentrate on a slide knowing that on completion you may not be able to save... I would prefer this fixed over new features.

Hope this is been considered by the Articulate team.

Fully agree Jonathan,

I can not make vague promisses to our clients. They are now in a stage of re-considering as they put it politely.

Hope that the Articulate team gets cracking. (I feel confident that they will

Cheers,

John
