Various glitches occurring in Storyline - Does anyone encounter these issues?
- 2 years 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.
I feel your pain and could add my own laundry list of items that drive me insane (and sometimes tears): Font sizes that are the same but display differently when published; the states in quizzes, yes, freaky and random differences requiring manual check and changes on all states, (in fact, knowing I have to set up custom quizzes makes me sick to my stomach... I know it will be a nightmare.) Also button weirdnesses, audio doubling when applying closed captions. Oh, and images that become unselectable after they've been changed to a hidden state. Copying and pasting using keyboard shortcuts? Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I also can't get a grip on why there is not a MAC-native version when even Powerpoint gives us that. I could go on.
And yes, I've uninstalled/reinstalled (that's a weekly thing by the way), work locally, done the naming conventions, reduced file sizes, etc. I still greet each day with Storyline not sure how predictable my day will be or whether I can make deadlines I've committed to. This is my most expensive application (by alot), and by far the one that gives me the most headaches.
I've been working with Storyline 360 for almost 3 years, and I should say that when it's working well, I LOVE it. It's FUN. And tech support is good and gets back to me quickly. But the technical problems are real, in my opinion, and I don't understand why Articulate is not more worried about the frustration that gets poured into the forums. I've come to the conclusion that until they have real competition breathing down their necks (hello, Adobe?), these kinds of technical problems will persist. As far as I can tell, they've weighed the cost against the bottom line and decided that they can live with the grumbling.
