Facer Creator slow / unstable

Support
1

Not usable at moment, from Australia.

Too slow to react for mouse movements for select, drag/drop, and randomly deleting / moving other elements … Any changes made are not always saved.

UNUSABLE, and has been most of last 24 hours.

Can confirm that Australian Creator has been wonky today.

Is ‘wonky’ suitably clear to non-Aussie/Kiwi’ audience?

Haha not sure (maybe it’s British too?) - I’ll rephrase to say that it has been unstable/ unreliable today. Working a lot better for me now though!

It was particularly slow earlier today, and mangled one of my designs. I finally realised that the expressions that I was using did NOT match the draft versions in a separate text file. They were still giving results, which means they were likely an older version of the content …

Then I tried again (just before I posted), when it seemed faster / more reactive. It just made things a whole lot worse more efficiently.

So … Be careful out there.

Its currently so slow …

… I can see actual bugs in the UI and edit logic … there at least two places with undefined values being used … after layer shift or edit … with an actual pattern of wrong behaviour.

Questions:

  • Do they (@Facer_Staff) have debugging turned on?

  • Are all of those premium designers putting moon-phase, hour-tick, custom colours, and other ‘refinements’ in nearly every single field of their new designs?

This is a strong argument in favour of #VAR-my-formulae# and other improvements which would easily reduce combined CPU and RAM usage by 95%.
