Solved: DDO - Material Browser, Extremely slow!

Monkzoren · Nov 2016

Hello! I am experiencing an extremely slow DDO material browser!
I'm using Photoshop 2017, and quixel 2.2! Its Its super slow when i open/search for materials and when I click the category's, and its super disruptive when working.

Anything i need to setup/configure?

OS:Windows 10
Ram: 32 gb
CPU: Intel i7 4GHz
GPU: GTX 1070

Tried to re-install on SSD, it was fast ONE time, then super slow again...

It looks like it never "Caches" the material Database, so its SUPER Slow to fetch all the materials

Did you clean all folder structures manually, after deinstallation? Some settings in files are corrupted can cause this.
Personal folder, like appdata and soon.

Sorry, but its not solved. The bug occurs after a certain time and make the suit unusable.
Has any body same reported? Help is appreciated.

Ensure that you're using a standard Windows color management profile instead of a customized one - this generally leads to slowdowns in the material browser.

Can you explain some more? Windows color management in Photoshop? In Windwos? Could me hving fLux installed lead to the slowdown?

f.lux shouldn't interfere - although you may wish to try disabling it while working with DDO simply because it changes the monitor's display and can make it somewhat harder to author textures.

Thanks! That works like a charm! I was getting frustrated because the slowdown, but even with that, I Still made textures quicker than if i were to do it manually like the Old ways!, BUT NOW, I IMAGINE ITS GOING TO BE BLAZING FAST! It Just Cranked the speed up to 11!!
