Figma app lag issues

I am ecountering the same issues since updating Figma. My computer was running fast prior to this. I have cleared cache, restarted Figma, opened new artboards etc. The lag is so bad I am losing hours a day on client work.

Lastly. I went into my Mac activity monitor and Figma CPU and memory is extremely high even when closing and re-opening!

I hope there is a solution soon!

I’m finding the same lagging issue. I tried to follow the clear cache tutorial, but I couldn’t find the help and troubleshoot links. So I tried doing it through my PowerShell. Entered %APPDATA%\Figma and threw an error where it said The module ‘%APPDATA%’ could not be loaded. I don’t know what to do after that.

Really bad lagging. This issue has been going on since August!!

Hello Figma, the app is so slow now 😦
MBP M3 was running super smooth but since the new update… really bad!
I’ve tried every solution clearing caches help for 15min after back to slow… Please fix ASAP

Same problem… Too much lagging on macbook pro but working perfectly on the other screen… To hard to work 😦

Same here. Figma is virtually unusable. If this continues, we will be forced to move to another tool. It’s incredible that Figma is not able to fix this, as it is going on for months and if affects so many people. For me, it seemed to start getting slow after the UI update (which has brought no improvement whatsoever)…

This is now affecting me terribly, and I’ve never had issues before the past week or so.
Even navigating the dashboard it’s slow.
Drawing a rectangle in a fresh doc with nothing else open lags.

I’ve cleared cache.
I’ve uninstalled and re-installed the app.
I’ve forced GPU acceleration.
I have 64gb ram.  
Windows 11 - 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H   2.90 GHz

The browser version doesn’t seem to have the issue.

I’m paying for 5 seats. Seriously, I’ve wasted hours trying to fix, and I can’t work efficiently right now and it’s affecting my business.

Has anyone solved this?

Hey ​@Joram_Salisbury , thank you for flagging this and sorry for the trouble!
Our engineering team would like to investigate this further. Could you please submit a bug report by filling out this form: Submit a bug report?

Make sure to use your Figma email account, and include the steps you've taken in the form. Thanks!

I submitted a report as requested. After sharing the design to the figma support team, it appears resolved. Let’s see how it goes.

It seemed okay for a day or two. Now back to lag on the desktop app. I feel like there may be a conflict with some sort of other program or something. Do I need to create a new support ticket ​@Celine_D ?
