I just tested this quickly and yes it does seem to make a difference in the latest version of Illustrator 2024 (28.4.1). I can write text fluidly, I can move objects without lag, etc. Hopefully this information will help the Adobe team nail down this bug.

Same. I'm still having the same issues and just installed the latest version of Illustrator. It's like when using the GPU it just stops rendering randomly and dropping frames.

I've been having tons of issues with Illustrator and M2 MBP. See this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/multiple-illustrator-issues-on-m2-macbook-pro/td-p/13894853 It's just unbelievable how Adobe has dropped the ball on Apple Silicon users.

@Anshul_Saini I've been able to capture some of the issues with my phone. When trying to record the screen with Quicktime the issues completely disappear for some reason (maybe something related to the GPU) and they are impossible to capture. Sorry for the low quality video from my phone but it was the only way to capture the issues. You can see in this video how the GPU rendering becomes unresponsive it lags, etc. And this happened multiple times in just 1 minute. These issues are constant for me which makes Illustrator unusable. https://youtu.be/dOV9Sy6-bXA

I thought these issues were exclusive to Apple Silicon but the other day I saw someone with an Intel 5K iMac using the latest Illustrator version and suffering from the exact same issues. Severe lag when editing text, clicking, etc. Switching to CPU rendering solved the issues but the overall performance is worse.

I'm still experiencing lots of random issues with Illustrator on my M2. Up to 1-2 seconds of lag when selecting objects, deselecting objects, clicking in an active text object to move the caret to a new position, and deleting objects Visual glitches when moving objects around Slow rendering of text when changing the font (takes 2-3 seconds to update) Unfortunately whenever I start recording with Quicktime, the issues magically stop happening. Maybe macOS enters a special GPU mode when recording the screen? Illustrator is almost unusable for me on Apple Silicon. I'm seriously considering cancelling my subscription since I can easily replace Photoshop with Affinity.

The new issues you mentioned, like the delay in selecting text objects, can be frustrating. To better understand and address these problems, could you provide a screen recording that demonstrates the delay issue when selecting text objects? This visual representation can help identify the specific circumstances under which it occurs. Like I mentioned, it's quite random. I haven't been able to reproduce it consistently. I've tried creating a screen recording but whenever I start recording the issue disappears... it's quite frustrating. I will keep trying though.

I'm still on Ventura but the issues mentioned above appear to have been fixed on the latest v28. I'm having new issues though. For example, selecting text objects with an area (clicking and dragging) sometimes takes 1-2 seconds. This seems random though.

Hmmm no disabling the "realtime editing" option didn't fix the text rendering lag problem. The problem is back.

I've disabled this option and I've been able to re-enable GPU for rendering. So far this has solved my previous issues. It's not ideal but it makes Illustrator usable again. Hopefully Adobe will fix these issues asap.

I recently got an M2 MBP and I'm having some issues with Illustrator which I recently installed the latest version (27.6.1). I'm not using old preferences. I have disabled dictation features which some users in other posts seem to believe affected Illustrator performance. This is a fresh install of macOS and the Adobe apps. I'm on macOS Ventura 13.4.1. Lag and stuttering when moving objects Randomly when dragging objects the canvas seems to freeze for a second or two and then finally updates itself. This happens even on emptuy projects with nothing but a rectangle. I disabled the Pro Motion feature of my laptop's monitor which changes framerates depending on what the user is doing. This seems to have alleviated the issue even though I'm using an external monitor connected to a Thunderbolt port. Lag when writing There's another random issue which is not really consistent. When writing text it seems text doesn't render as I type it. Sometimes the characters I've typed take 1-2 seconds to appear in the screen. This is extremely frustrating and is slowing me down considerably. I've disabled GPU performance in the settings which solves the issue but now the rendering performance slows down to a crawl (as expected). Sometimes if I re-enable GPU performance the issue goes away momentarily and then comes back. Inititally I thought this could be caused by my BT keyboard but it happens with the internal keyboard too. Even when using the BT keyboard I don't see this this behavior in any other app (I write a lot of code). For some strange reason, the issue seems to go away when recording the screen with Quicktime so I recorded these videos with my phone. With GPU performance enabled you can see how when I keep the E key pressed it take a while for text to appear: https://youtu.be/uSujR7dGqZw With CPU rendering the issue disappears and text renders as it should: https://youtu.be/PXSV0P_LckQ

You are right, but for a different reason. I read "Application Data" from the Windows folder... I need more sleep. In any case, the problem is not solved.

"Snap to pixel" option turned on by default is really annoying. Who thought it was a good idea that most people would want that option as the default one? I've modified the Web.ai document profile and the option is still on when creating a new document with the Web profile. The documentation is wrong btw. The file is located in ~/Library/Application Support

Oh, BTW, how do you propose an image pixel is best represented by 2.67 screen pixels? We'd all like to know. Well, there is this thing called antialiasing, but I'm guessing Adobe could simply move to a vector graphics based UI.

For anyone still struggling on macOS this is what I did. 1) In the Creative Cloud app on your system bar go to Preferences > Creative Cloud > Files and turn sync off. 2) Go to your home folder and delete the folder "Creative Cloud". The link in the sidebar will still be there but it will point to a non existent folder. 3) Relaunch Finder by pressing CMD + ALT + ESC, select Finder and press Relaunch.

Since Adobe upgraded the UI, Photoshop and Illustrator it became unusable in my rMBP 2014. I have to run Photoshop in low res mode to be able to do any work, and it still lags. Affinity software runs flawlessly.

The truth is that today Affinity software is not on par with Adobe software. I bought Photo and Designer a year or so ago, and while there are some very innovative features, Affinity still lacks bread and butter stuff like a proper eye dropper, an isolation mode like Illustrator, or even decent text editing tools. But, give them a year or two and I can see myself and a lot of people in graphic design, UI, photo retouching, and illustration, moving away from Adobe. Specially considering Affinity software can open Illustrator, Photoshop, and legacy Freehand files. Also, Affinity is about to release Publisher, which is an InDesign replacement. Video guys and motion graphics people will still need Premiere and After Effects though. Adobe will have to step up its game. Not only in pricing but also in listening to the needs of their customers. Honestly I couldn't care less about cloud gimmicks and mobile apps. I don't understand why Adobe is investing so much effort in those things. There are a number of feature requests in these forums that have been requested for years and Adobe ignores our petitions. For example making the nodes in Illustrator for editing vector curves bigger, being able to zoom to 100% in place (instead of moving the viewport to the last used artboard), being able to rotate the workspace in Illustrator while drawing like you can in Photoshop, Metal support in OSX, and a very long etcetera.

This is still not solved. Check this recorded with 10.11.5. Adobe, what is wrong with you? This effectively makes Adobe CC bloatware and malware. Adobe CC should not be running services when it's closed, and it should definitely not be messing with our computer in this intrusive way.

I just got nailed $70 per month for three CC subscriptions. Because we are a business we pay more - this is ridiculous. I struggle to meet payroll, just laid off several people, but the ADOBE giant can suck more out of our pocket. Some of my competitors are also businesses with federal tax ID numbers, several employees, and who pay corporate income tax, but because they only need one CC license, they pay a lower rate. This is simply not fair.
I pay about half of that for just 1 subscription so you are getting a better deal than most...

So I installed the last version of Flash Pro and was able to get network on device by compiling with SDK 19. Compiled with SDK 20.0.0.206 = No network Compiled with SDK 19.0.0.180 = Network OK I think it's fair to say this is Adobe Air 20 bug.

I'm recompiling an iOS app with Animate CC and Adobe Air SDK 20.0.0.260 and the app cannot access the network. This is pretty serious and completely breaks my app. I have tried it in iOS 9.1 and 9.2.1 on 2 different devices. And yes the device is connected to Wifi. The code works fine when testing on computer. When debugging on device URLMonitor reports no network available and URLLoader event HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS never fires (which makes sense since the app thinks it has no network). I've tried using a previous version of Adobe Air SDK but Animate CC won't let me add previous versions. I'm installing the previous version of Flash Pro and will report back.

I updated yesterday to 10.11.2 and to Illustrator 19.2.0 which solved the right click problem, but now I have a new bug with the main window not remembering it's default position and getting under the OSX system bar. I have reported the bug here, but no official answer from Adobe yet.

Indeed Armando. Adobe keeps investing resources on iPad apps nobody uses instead of solving current problems on the most used software by pros. No wonder so many people are moving to Affinity software for design work, at least on OSX.

Same problem here. No right click with external monitor. I closed the lid of my macbook and it works but I lose a monitor and the machine gets a few degrees hotter. It's been weeks since this was reported. Again Adobe ignoring the needs of their customers.
