Really wanting to try some low-risk things out on v5, but I'm finding the interface is _really_ laggy. Like changing from Universe View to DMX view takes 3–4 seconds. Changing the selected fixture in the fixture list just took 6 seconds. It's so tempting to click on things multiple times, as it just looks like the event was missed. But during this lag, the BPM pulse freezes, so it's clear the app is 'stuck' somehow. During these lags, the qlcplus-qml.exe process is running at 100% CPU.

What did you use as DMX interface?
Can you try without any external stuff connected?
I have the feeling that something isn't working as it should.

Quite a useless report without knowing all the details about the project used. (e.g number of fixture, number of universes, etc)

I experience the same problems faced by this user. I'll write up a better description and post here when I'm off work.

Hey guys sorry for the late reply,

I've made a video showing how sometimes context switching in QLC+ 5 can have performance issues.

I've also experienced the lagging but wasn't able to catch it this time.

FYI: unsure if it's me, but the demonstration video is marked as private for me and can't be opened.
