DP9.01 - Display problems & Slow (er) than DP8

Post by bwroberts »

Hello. Is anyone else having display issues with DP9.01 on OS 10.9.5 ? Once I installed, I noticed sections of my template, especially in the mixing board, would not show properly (as if greyed out). Hovering over the area and clicking something will reveal the hidden parts section by section, and sometimes a restart will fix it globally, but it is a mystery. In addition, the problem now happens in DP8 when I reopen the files there.

Also, I noticed DP9 is slower than DP8 (there is a noticeable lag when I press PLAY on DP9 that never existed in previous versions). Note: This is assuming all settings are the same in both versions of DP, and I am opening up identical files...this also happen on multiple other files.

I have wracked my brain around it and the only thing I can think of is the template size (over 500 tracks of MIDI and quite a bit of routing) or some sort of corrupted display file when DP updated from 8 to 9.

Any thoughts would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance.

I did experience slow screen updates with DP 9.00 on a iMac, but not on a MBP. I was using OS 10.10 at the time of the update. Changing the setting for Max Work Percent fixed it for me. I think I lowered it.
