Typing in the script editor is extremely slow in macOS

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#178

I thought this was just happening to me. I experience delay by about 2-5 seconds when typing anything in script windows and always takes a second for Studio to recognize that I am in the Studio window for me to start moving around. I can switch tabs to another app and come back and hold W and it won’t move for a second.

I am running Studio on a 2017 iMac Pro
CPU: 3.2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W
Memory: 32 GB 2666 MHz DDR4
Graphics: Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB
OS: macOS Big Sur 11.1

@ElijahAppleUser seems to have the perfect fix for this, although I am unsure of the workaround’s compatibility on other devices.

Are you talking about the color profile fix?

#180

I have two Apple devices that I run Studio on - a 2020 MacBook Pro and a 2017 iMac Pro, and so far, the color fix has only worked on the iMac. I don’t know why it would not work on the MacBook but it seems like the workaround has limited compatability.

#181

Does your 2020 MacBook Pro have an Intel processor? If so, I don’t see why it wouldn’t perform well.

#182

It does, it’s before the M1 update I believe.

It has onboard a 2.0GHz 10th Gen i5.

I’m not too concerned since I work mainly on my iMac, but switching the profile doesn’t seem to fix it.

This post might be of some help to you.

Got it. I’ll try and leave a response since I don’t have access to my Macbook at the moment.

I had the same problem, but when I moved the script window out from the middle, it wasn’t laggy anymore

#186

In regards to that solution, it has worked for multiple people now.

Yes! After many many months of staring at a horrifyingly messed up screen, I’ve had enough courage to change over to sRGB profile. I’m so sick of looking at the normal RGB profile now! I’ve done it. :slight_smile:

Is it better than “Color LCD” or whatever Apple calls it? :sweat_smile:

Indeed this is a disaster. It’s nearly impossible to code on macOS. I’m trying to link Roblox studio to VSC, hopefully that helps.

#190

You could try separating the script editor from Roblox Studio into its own independent window.

#191

Update on my end - I am still using a iMac Pro (2017) and I find that certain games are incredibly unresponsive. Most of Mac users already know, but it’s a hassle when your computer freezes because there is no way to get out of it instead of hard powering it down or pulling out the cord. I was working on a place that crashed 6 times within 2 hours yesterday. Nothing in Studio is laggy (3D Workspace and Script Editors) but it randomly freezes. It does this in the Roblox Player as well. I don’t think it’s my computer, but feel free to ask for my storage amount, etc.

#192

Could it be due to a memory leak?

Not sure. It’s always two specific games that I run a lot. I think as Mac users we all know how stupidly unresponsive they can become, and it happens way too much. I had to hard power down and restart 6 times within a 2 hour time frame. I can try sending you a game link if you want.

#194

Please do so. I would like to test it out.

#195

Sure, here is the link/

Happens around 5 minutes in flying in an actual plane, I have another link to a place I have created, but I’ll make that public later and send it to you.

#196

Could it have something to do with the planes and how fast they’re flying? Maybe it’s related to physics and rendering?

#197

That’s what I figured as well, but it doesn’t happen as much on my MacBook as much as it happens on the iMac Pro, which is weird.
