Photoshop 2020 freezing - unusable

[kachookie]

I'm running MacOS Catalina 10.15.6  Wacom tablet driver is up to date. I have photoshop version 21.2.2

Mac hardware check found no issues.

Basically I cant use this program anymore. This version is awful. Loads very slowly - gets stuck at halide bottlenecks, freezes randomly - one day it's the fonts, next day it's when I try to resize, and maybe one day it's when I try using the burn tool.

Honesty I've tried all of the fixes I've found out there and nothing works. Any suggestions? 

Should I reinstall, or downgrade to last years version? 

I can't get any work done.

If anybody has found a fix please let me know!

Hi

You mentioned you tried all the fixes, have you tried resetting the preferences, a lot of MAC users with Catalina seem to be having majors issues with this version of Photoshop, it runs OK on my Windows system but there are issues with it.

I have 2019 installed as well as it seems a lot more stable than 2020

Hi, I just saw this sorry for the late reply. Yes, I tried that as well and it didn't help.

I think I'm going to have to reinstall 2019 again. I tried Adobe support chat and they couldn't help either.

They said they were going to escalate the issue to a "specialist" but I haven't heard back. Very frustrated at this point. 

I had to go so far as to reinstall my old version of Elements just to get any work done...I hope they can figure out what the problem is and release a fix.

Thanks for answering.
