Hi,
I am having the same issue, even with really small files. XD freezes typing into a text box everything gets blurry and just laggs unable to do anything else.
I am restarting my computer ( Which is a new PC ) multiple times a day.

Anything that can be done to fix this issue please do. This is bringing down productivity for the whole team. We really love XD but if this continues it will be deemed unusable.

Thank you
Stacey

The version of XD & OS.
Is this happening on a specific file or multiple files?

Since getting my MacBook Air with the Apple M1 chip, I have had nothing but stress using Adobe XD.

I updated XD to the latest v42 but it still freezes and then I have to restart my MacBook everytime just to get XD to open files again.

I am saving/opening my working files to/from the Adobe Cloud.

I've attached the logs > https://drive.google.com/file/d/19dRR9N3e2Xb0GpmL64GX-gQdZvdu235t/view?usp=sharing

Hello,

I'm having the same issues on the latest M pro macboook. I learned that working on files that are saved as local documents instead of saved on adobe cloud helps a lot. Without the auto-save it performs much better, it still takes minutes to open or save the file but at least it doesn't lag while I'm working.. i hope this helps

I'm tired of bugs on Adobe XD. I'll start using Figma.
