Hmmm… shouldn’t really be the case to be honest (have a fairly up-to-date system), and I didn’t have issues with older versions of PsychoPy. Has PsychoPy become that much more resource-hungry?
My device:
|Processor|11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz 1.80 GHz|
|Installed RAM|16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)|
|System type|64-bit operating system, x64-based processor|
Graphics card is Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics, which supports OpenGl 4.6, comfortably exceeding the minimum requirement for PsychoPy.
I would hazard a guess that many students and potential participants will be using older devices…
Will try to access the studies on my personal laptop at home tonight, as that laptop is definitely not slow and/or overloaded & report back.
EDIT: Hold on - you may be on to something - just looked at my Edge settings and enabled graphics acceleration - the mouse version seems to work perfectly now, as does the version using the arrow keys. Trust me, am vigorously slapping my forehead. So sorry for taking up your time with something that turned out to be an absolutely silly thing on my end.
