Prototypes Lagging Very Badly

Recently my project prototypes have started to lag incredibly and become unusable for presentations. The latest change I can think of is updating my table components into variants.

Granted I have very big projects, but they ran well previously and now even just trying to open an overlay on the very starting screen is impossible. This only started recently, within this week.

I cannot share any videos of this now due to confidentiality. If necessary I would need to blank out some elements. I was wondering if anyone else has the same experience.

    Hey Guys, I’m also dealing with this frustrating issue. I’ve tried different browsers(macOS) and even the Figma iOS app, but no luck. The file’s memory usage is 14%. Have any of you found any tips or workarounds? Really appreciate the help!

    Yes, mine is lagging very badly since one week. It’s really frustrating, because of it i can showcase some elements on my presentation. I request help regarding this.

    I’m experiencing the same issue with a prototype that worked perfectly fine 12 hours ago and I already tried everything to mitigate this issue and no success. I hope Figma fix this soon.

      I have the same thing. Everything was fine and after I added another prototype, the animation of all the prototypes began to lag. I’m making a website and I didn’t have time to make many prototypes there, and I don’t understand why it’s lagging. I have a very important project and I do not know how I will show it in this form, but I also cannot reduce the number of animations, since I have not even made half of the necessary prototypes. I’m desperate.
