I am new here. I like defold. I do not want to give up on it. But when reviewing very slow and sometimes very small projects (defold application is not responding). Same problem no on godot engine. ---

Can you give an example of a project that is slow? And is everything slow or only certain operations? ---

it happens in all projects. There is a 1.5-2 second delay. It happens with everything in general. While writing scripts, creating collections, etc. ---

It happens on my computer too. I open a new project and after 10-15 seconds it opens. While working inside Defold it becomes unusable with random freezes. My PC is a Lenovo Ideapad 100 whith fairly low-end specs (dual core CPU and 4Gb of RAM). I think this happens due to the editor being based on JVM, which is known for using lot of resources (both CPU and RAM). I whish there was an editor written native technologies like C or C++, it should be much faster than the actual. ---

there seems to be no solution. I will continue to use defold. I hope a solution is found ---

Does it happen to be slow also if the visible window is the code editor? Those GPUs suffer a lot with antialiasing on lines that you would see with an atlas or a collection (the grid background basically). Try also and check if your graphic driver has control over AA and turn it off. ---

Unfortunately my Intel graphics driver doesn’t support custom AA settings. Thanks Anyway. ---

I’m also having this issue. Particularly editing a tilesource - lagging 1-2 seconds when making any changes. ---

Thanks. Me and @mats.gisselson will take a look at this next week. We have this issue and slow atlas editing to look into. ---

I’m having this issue too on my Intel core i5 3220M , 16GB of RAM, Intel HD 4000, Windows 10. It’s very slow on almost every operation that involves graphics, like selecting sprite, moving sprite, minimize window, etc. ---

I’m using Defold on same machine with Manjaro 20.2.1. And it’s very smooth, no lagging like on Windows 10 [Next page](https://forum.defold.com/t/defold-editor-slow/68356.md?page=2)
