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.
I too was having the issue where Storyline 2 started running slow and freezing up. I tried everything suggested here - nothing worked.
I accidentally discovered what was the cause and made the problem go away. I had one slide that was a screen shot of a software screen. The screen shot required me to change my name on multiple lines and substitute the correct name for the course. This involved placing a box over the text to cover it and then added the name on top. What it looked like to me is that there were too many objects added to the slide. I knew that it was that screen because I did not experience the issue until I tried to work on that specific screen.
I pulled up an earlier version of the course and copied the same slide before I had added all the extra objects. I then pasted the old version, deleted the trouble version and had no more problems. The solution was to Photoshop the screen shop to minimize the number of required objects.
Now, my course is working "really groovy baby." Hope this helps someone.
