eluengo Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Since introduction M1 and latest version of AFFsuite the sluggish first start of any of the three apps was forgotten.... But NOW with either last 2.2.1 apps or last Sonoma 14.1 OS the snail-first-starts have returned ... like McArthur.... Something wrong? (M1 MacBookAir, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD filled only 52%, OS fresh installed, AFF apps fresh from AFFStore). Should I try different render methods: Metal, OpenGL, hardware etc.... Not sure if recently some other users have reported the same issue...? Quote
MikeTO Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Hi, there has been no change in this issue. Serif has investigated and reported that it's due to the app file size - a key component of macOS that scans apps for bad stuff (Gatekeeper) gets exponentially slower with file size. If you scan the forums for slow startup, slow open, or slow launch you'll find replies from Serif on this issue. It's not always slow - I just restarted and all three apps launched immediately. I don't understand why sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow. At least our M1+ computers are super fast so even a slow launch isn't really that slow.
