Hello,

I've migrated my development environment to VmWare and I'm working on a 4K display.
The B4A IDE is extremely slow in this case.
Is there anything that can be done to improve it?

Thx,
Dominique

Yes, tried several things.
Hardware accelaration is enabled, tried several resolutions, no go.
I use an external 4K monitor linked to my laptop.
If I run it on the laptop screen self I have the same issue which has a standard resolution.
So it must be linked to Vmware apparently.

Will try to search some more.

Strange is that I don't have it in my other IDE's (Embarcadero Delphi and Visual Studio).
I found some posts on the forum to change the ini-file.
I will try that.

Did you check the amount of memory allocated to your VM ? Usually on install it only allocates 1gb.

This is idle on my machine and almost doubles on compile

which could cause a lot of page swapping etc and slow things down dramatically

This is a shot in the dark.
