Good Evening!

Asset Forge is running very very slowly on my Macbook Pro (Catalina).

I have followed the troubleshooting guide (disabled vsync and scaled the UI so it's not tiny :D)

The problem is clicking on anything takes a long time and it means the app is effectively unusable; which is unfortunate since the prior version runs very well!

Thank you again for all your awesome work; it makes prototyping stuff so much better!

So I just tried some different combinations of settings and it looks like on my particular mac the Antialiasing settings impact performance quite drastically; setting it to 'off' makes things a little more responsive but it's still not as smooth as the prior version.

Hopefully if anyone else is having performance issues perhaps setting AA to 'off' will help a bit!

I am using a new Mac Pro late 2019 have the same issues. AA off helps a bit but still very slow.

By the way, this app uses a lot of GPU resources, so I have 2 simple suggestions to improve overall performance:

• An option to scale the internal resolution (while keeping the UI at high DPI) - it would be very useful for integrated cards.
• Dont redraw the scene every frame if nothing is happening, just a static image and no input (this is the reason enabling vsync helps)
  • Nice side effect: less heat and better battery life

Cheers!

Thank you RodrigoCard for the 'Open in low resolution' tip! <3

I too found the app (2.1.0 release) extremely sluggish in fullscreen on an MBP with retina screen even with all the extra rendering settings off. Opening in low res means I can have it full screen and it still be responsive with all settings on \o/
