Must agree that 9 series is slower on Windows 10 than previous versions. Win 10 pro 64 bit Observations 1. Instances of Livecode do not always shut down correctly and have to be closed via the Task Manager.Failure to notice this can cause IDE hangs, crashes and corrupted scripts when saving. 2.

BTW I am also getting standalones locking up on Windows. The same standalone for Mac (same source) does not lock up. I will build with an earlier version to see if there is still a problem. Bob S > On May 2, 2018, at 14:40 , Curry Kenworthy via use-livecode > wrote: > > Howdy Richard, > >

I've been using the final version of LC9 on Windows 7. I don't have these kinds of problems with any other program. I didn't notice it with earlier DP versions on the same machine (although admittedly I would leap-frog over many DP point versions, so I can't say at what point this problem was int

I use LC 9 on a Surface Pro 4 Machine, it is almost unusable. Everything is as slow as molasses. Typing a script sometimes takes many seconds to respond and it even goes as far as missing keystrokes. Trying to drag and drop stuff onto the stack is also horrible. I don't have any plugins anymore, th

I would say that running on “iron” is probably not necessary to see this. If you full screen the VM and actually work as if it were a physical machine you would notice. On Tue, May 1, 2018 at 12:45 PM Knapp Martin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > This makes me curious to

This makes me curious to know - what about apps built with LC 9 for Windows? Are they really sluggish too? Or is it just in the IDE? Marty > On May 1, 2018, at 10:43 AM, Ralph DiMola via use-livecode > wrote: > > I have not reported it. I wasn't sure that my setup (VMs/bloated Adobe > Product
