TVPaint lags if left open for too long (works fine after closing and re-opening)

[Joost]

I also have this issue!
Enormous lags after my computer turns to sleep.

My solution: I always restart my Mac when I'm back after lunchtime...

Thanks Joost for your tip !

Enormous lags after my computer turns to sleep.

If i have TVPaint open for a long while (usually around 1 hour), the brush engine begins to lag like crazy. if i close and open the software again the issue goes away. I usually notice this if i leave TVPaint for a while, and upon switching back over to TVPaint, the lag is there, so i just quit and re-open to get things working normally.

Just a quick follow-up, it seems that there is an issue when the Cintiq is connected through USB-C.
Have you tried a more "old-school" setup with USB+HDMI ?

Just gave my Cintiq Pro 24 (that's usually plugged in by USB-C) a try with HDMI and USB, no change to any of the lag behaviour at all. i've tried with the other second display un-plugged and running the sleep test, and the lag comes up the same. I tried it at multiple resolutions and no change to any of the lag issues :/

My continue is connected with and old USB and HDMI cable... So USB C not what is giving the issues probably.

This memory problem has been bothering 3 of my pcs for a long time since version 11.7.1. Laptop with 8gb RAM, older PC with 16gb RAM and my new pc with 32gb RAM all get bottled by memory usage and starts crashing my pc when using TVpaint. Can't wait to see if this solves my issues. Currently I have to monitor my pc memory usage and restart the software when reaching the max to avoid crashing my whole pc.
