Prototype is freezing (mobile layout)

Hey @Dmitrii_Skotarenko does ths new prototype have any large style effects applies (like shadows or blurs)?

Hey, @Bruno_Figueiredo! There are large shadows. But I use such shadows in many other layouts, and there were no problems there. You can duplicate and inspect this file, i attached link above. But, after all, please delete it from your drafts.

Yeah just tested it out and couldnt understand the issue either. Let’s try and get help from support, bu with Config today and tomorrow, not sure if you’ll get it right away.

@Bruno_Figueiredo, yep, i don’t think they’ll be able to answer today-tomorrow, it’s for sure. Thank you anyway, this issue is really weird, but i hope we’ll find a reason at this week.

I looked at your file and found the reason for the lags. The reason is the “Map” element. This element contains a lot of small vector objects. In order for the lags to pass, you need to use the “Flatten” or “Rasterize selection” function for this layer.

@tank666 Thank you, for the answer, but this is not a reason or solution.

1. I’ve used tons of heavyweight vector elements in my other projects, one dotted map weight was 1,5 mb (current one is 788 kb for example), and there was 75 frames in the file, instead of 10 like in this file. All those prototypes running well, transitions was smooth, no freezing, no lagging at all. I don’t think 788 kb vector file is too critical for Figma perfomance. I’ve done 60+ project like this and even much bigger - prototypes was doing fine.

2. Flattened vector object weight is exactly the same as not flatten - 788 kb. It make no sense to ctrl+e this.

3. But png has a quite different weight - 50 kb. I’ve already changed vector on png, but lagging still here. I must admit that transitions became more smooth, but not as smooth, as it should be.

If Figma doesn’t “like” heavy vector objects, i will avoid them in future. But as i said, I’m not a newbie, i’ve made many projects in this tool for last 3 year, and prototypes were never lagging like this. But one more time, thanks a lot for advice.

In this case, you need to pay attention not to the weight of the vector, but to the number of layers and nodes of these vector layers. In the “Map” group you have 3447 vector layers, each of them contains 4 nodes. Total: 3447 × 4 = 13788 nodes.

The fewer the vector nodes, the better the performance.
