Bambu Studio Crashes, Slowdowns & Freezes

Bambu Lab Software
1

Since Bambu Labs “upgraded” Bambu Studio to 2.2.2.56 for macOS the software has become unstable. It stops responding to button clicks so you have to quit and reopen it. Then reopen the model you were working on. Also, adding models to categories takes way too long. You click the collect button, and it takes about 20 seconds or more to open the category selection. I only have 5 categories too. This indicates either a bug or memory handling issues. (My MacBook has 64GB of RAM so it’s not running out of memory, and it only takes about 14% of my M2 Pro CPU) Also, the app will completely freeze up if it’s open too long forcing you to force quit it, If it doesn’t outright crash. This also indicates a memory leak most likely. The previous 2.0.x.x software didn’t have this problem and the performance was snappy.

My question is, can I downgrade the software to a stable version—assuming I can redownload it? I have an X1C with the latest firmware.
