Sluggish/slow performance of Storyline (lags and freezes)
- 12 months ago
Hi everyone!
I'm happy to share that today we just shipped 64-bit Storyline 360!
To use 64-bit Storyline 360, make sure to 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.
Since this version is in beta, we'd love for you to test it out and share your feedback and experience with us by replying to this discussion.
Hi everyone,
I have been having similar performance issues with lag between mouse clicks and keystrokes for the past few months. Chalked it up to dual monitors, lots of objects on the timeline, all our IT security software in the background etc. However, after scouring the forums and doing some testing, I found what seems to be the issue for me.
My specs include - Windows 10, 32G RAM, i7 2.5GHz quad, Articulate 360 working locally. Windows and 360 all have the latest updates.
For me it was images from Content Library. I imported one image to use as part of a background, and after hiding that image on the timeline, everything was back to normal. I checked all slides and layers, and performance dramatically improved when I hid all Content Library images. I still had some CL Icons and everything was fine, so it looks to just be the CL Photos.
I have not tested with High Res images imported from other sources besides CL.
It's nice to have a solution that seems to work for now. However, if I have to insert images, hide them until I'm ready to publish, and then go back and unhide them, that is definitely a burden on workflow.
Hope that might help other people out there that may be experiencing the same issues with SL360.
