I am stuck with super slow GS after update yesterday.. is anyone facing same issue and please let me know how to fix it 
Comments
~Hangs..
I am not able to work on any project.. it just hangs
They are working on a fix and hopefully it will be better than before
@Nabbo (ReflectiveByte) I guess you didn't see @Lost_Oasis_Games warning a week ago?
@PhilipCC hmmm I am too late already with no time machine backup I am stuck with this .. Oh this auto updates ...
Regardless of who posted what, when. Hopefully this fixes soon! I haven't been able to do anything now, for almost a week. I mean its understandable errors occur on updates, but paying for a yearly membership this really sucks waiting for a fix. Anyone have any suggestions for going back to version 10.11.4 without using time machine?
Any1 with roleback option from 10.11.5 to 10.11.4 without time machine..
@Nabbo (ReflectiveByte) I'm hearing if we revert back to the previous version of Gs it helps. For myself I'm thinking thats the best option. I haven't had a chance to try yet.
I just completely checked through my mac, because I can't do anything in GS. wait 3-5 minutes until an actor opens. and then I found this contribution! :-((
I hope the problem is fixed soon! so is GS unfortunately unusable
ps. fortunately my mac is not broken
haha we are so finicky, one moment we praise GS for the awesome release, and next apple update messes it up. it's just the nature of the software industry. but yes, i hope it will get fixed soon. been working day and night for the past 2 month. and all of sudden the halt.
You can always install a virtual of OS X using parrallels
Same here. Takes ages to make any changes on my Late 2013 MB Pro 16GB Ram 250GB SSD (so hardly a slow machine) since I updated to OSX 10.11.5
Further to my earlier post, I rolled back my MBP to OSX 10.11.4 from 10.11.5 using Time Machine. GS is working like magic again, no more spinning beach ball. A word of caution though - do a Time Machine backup BEFORE restoring your system from an earlier point( pre 10.11.5 update) just to make sure you can then restore the latest saved version of your GS project(s). I also recommend copying your latest versions to memory stick or external HD.
When you've rolled back your system to the date before you upgraded to 10.11.5, it will appear that all GS files saved since then are missing. You then need to go back into time machine and locate the newer saved files - which can then be restored. I'm posting this in case anyone new to using Time Machine gets confused, apologies to all those who know this stuff already. :-)
thanks for the warning. gs is slowing down anyways after 2-3 mins of beeing opened.
I also know they are aware of that. but your case with 10.11.5 seems like total blocker.
Hey everyone Im having the same issue also..
Unfortunately I have no backups in time machine as my mac is not very old, no excuse i know lol..
I uninstalled GS creator and the installed the latest nightly build (0.14.1)
So far so good!!!!!! it seems to be working just fine, although its only for experimenting and learning/studying. But should get us out of trouble for a while until next update..
I hope this helps some of you! Happy Gaming
Here is a link to download Nightly GS:

@LivieGames I will try today n thx..
I'm having the same issue... spinning beach ball madness. I'll give LivieGames' suggestion a go.
Looks like the suggestion of installing the nightly build didn't work for me...
I get an error message saying that my game was created in a more recent version of GameSalad and can't be opened.
Yup..
@jrj.clark
Yeah I got the same error today too... bummer!
