Prototypes Lagging Very Badly

I am also experiencing a big issue with laggind. One and the same single page layout worked just fine last week, I have actually reduced the options for animated components and elements and it has started performing terribly slow. If anyone has a solution, please share as I can’t present it to the client.

Hey, my prototypes have been lagging for over 2 weeks. I need to round up my project and I’ve been unable to because of this. I’be compressed my images to see if this helps but it’s just all still lagging.

Can anyone help please ?? It’s really bad.

I’ve had this issue on a couple of projects with different machines and got a fix. Most of these issues happen because your GPU is maxing out.

If Chrome, go to chrome://gpu/ (or your browser equivalent) and check the report
View your graphics card specifications (help.figma.com)

Easiest fix is “chrome://flags/”

• Override software rendering list - Enabled
• Accelerated 2D canvas - Disabled
• Out-of-process 2D canvas rasterization - Enabled

Searching for “GPU”, Flags offers a few other things to help take the load off. YMMV

When i screenshare my prototype on zoom, after a few mins, the lag starts. This has been happening for a few days now. My internet connection is fast, but the zoom CPU graph starts maxing out when i start screenshare and the lag shows up. I have reinstalled zoom but it didn’t work. If i don’t use zoom there is no lag. Really frustrated as i have an important demo in a few days. Someone please help.

Was this problem ever solved? I’m also seeing Figma in prototype mode lagging (arrow left and right doesn’t respond to step through) only when screensharing over Zoom. Everything is fine once screensharing is off.

Sounds like someone was troubleshooting using chrome://gpu for web. Is there a way to fix this with the desktop app?

I am currently having this issue. I can’t smart animate more than a couple of layers at a time without performance choking and getting massive frame drops and glitches.

Figma prototype lagging issue is still not solved and its driving me crazy. Simple prototypes work fine but if you add some interactions within the components it starts to lag and does not work properly or it stops for a while and reveals the already loaded prototype .

Yes, It’s lagging really bad. I mean I just added some interactive animations in my project and it started lagging. The more I add the more it’s lagging 🤷

Having the same problem
Especially when using variables interaction.
Sometimes it bugs and does not refresh either and I have to close and reopen my Figma design tab 😭

Please fix, this makes prototypes basically unusable. And it’s significantly worse on mac than on windows, even though neither of my devices should have any performance issue.
