Hey all,
Firstly, great piece of software. Super impressive.
Just a heads up for those experiencing any lag within the xLights application itself - I'm running a Windows Domain with folder redirection for my Documents/Desktop/Photos/etc. and if you set your working folder to a remote location (in my case, over a 1Gbps Cat6 LAN to my domain server), you may experience frustrating lag in the application as soon as you make changes to an effect, controller, etc.
My PC is a beast - i7 8700K (overclocked), 2080ti GPU, 32GB 3200 ram, 970 EVO 1TB SSD, and the lag was consistent and very irritating. Tried hardware acceleration on and off, etc. but to no avail.
After some testing, I relocated the working folder to my local SSD and the lag has disappeared. Quick as lightning.
I can only assume that there is an instant-save/backup after a modification within xLights and I've searched for a config option to turn it off, but couldn't see anything.
No action here, just a heads up for future travellers.
Cheers,
Craig.
