Huge Text Slowdown on M1 Mac with 24.1

This is driving me mad.

I have two machines. M1 Air Laptop and M1 Max Studio.
Both runing IDENTICAL systems, plugins, extensions & settings.

Both have fonts managed with CC and Right Font,

On the MAX, typing/amending Text  in the comp window, manipulating parameters or inteacting with has a HUGE input lag.
Also Opening AE takesa 30 seconds.

 

On AIR it is lightening fast (ie normal).

 

Both systems using GPU, Prefs Reset.
I have tried
1. reininstalling AE on MAX. 
2. disabling all scripts, plugins, etc.

3. Running in safe mode.

4. Deactiviating all non core fonts.

 

In desperation, I tried runing the lastest BETA on my MAX, and the problem went away.

 my question to ADOBE (any others) is -

1: is this a know issue that was fixed, and how long will I have to wait to see it released>
2: Is there a known workaround that will strop the Text lag on the MAX?


 ...and no, I dont want to use the Beta in production.

 

Thank you!

I am not aware of any bug that addresses this issue. Do you mind sharing more details? Which font are you using? Does it happen with all fonts? Can you replicate the issue in a new project? Please share a screen recording that shows the problem. Also, your project file so that we can test it on our end. Feel free to DM me the download link if you don't want to share it publicly.

Happy to help.

 

Thanks,

Insight: I tried creating a new MAC user on ther MAX.
AE launched,

then said it had to build the GPU .

 

After that it work perfectly.

So I suspect thats this issue.

So my new question: How can I force AE to rebuild GPU drivers?
I really dont want to rebuild my system for this test user account, if its a simple solution. I'm in the middle of a job.

 

thanks again
