Legend! thanks mate

Update @Eric Emmrich as soon as I close the program and reopen the same issue continues. Any idea? 

You will need to disable LiveUpdates afterwards using any of the methods described in this thread  (either renaming the liveupdate folder or making the .exe files in the MT5 folder read-only / immutable).

Hello,

Normally, should not be our job to do that - what about all the users that do not regularly visit this forum after all?? Anyway maybe there are a couple of things to do: 

a) Do not close/restart MetaTrader, ie your PC in all, until the problem is fixed (you can put your PC in sleep as well)

b) In the Data Folder (MetaTrader: File>Open data folder) will appear a folder "liveupdate" - go on and delete that.. In my case, 5572 was not pushed again on me, but I am not sure

greets

Thanks,

I tried deleting the folder and even putting a dummy file with the same name but still kept getting updates by replacing itself. I resorted to blocking the mql5 server completely, so now I can only access via a VPN. 

Even changing the replaced files to read only in the MT install folder, the files would get replaced - that solution did not work either for me. 

Shouldn’t have to do this and used up many hours already trying to find solutions to a problem that did not exist before!

After some research, I think I found the real culprit, the Blend2D doesn't support TrueType Hinting, so only some fonts will work as expected.

https://github.com/blend2d/blend2d/issues/105

Sweet, so this Blend 2D engine is:

• version 0.2,
• in some pre-alpha stage at best,
• with no official release whatsoever,
• fested with issues.

Basically an obscure hobby project from github that can be ditched tomorrow.

And that gets implemented in high-tech financial software without any testing... That is just preposterous!

Furthermore it relies on Asmjit which is no longer maintained - "AsmJit is no longer maintained due to the absence of funding." https://asmjit.com/roadmap.html

Is this for real???

I stand corrected, it seems Blend2D  project was already abandoned about 3 months ago (from the dates on github and announcement on the author's website - https://kobalicek.com/funding.html )

Hi everyone,

Since my MT5 has been updated with this version doesn't work. It does not respond. It opens but it is completely useless. Anyone with the same problem??

There is another issue with the Ichimoku indicator. If you set the color of e.g.: Kumo to None, then it will be full white instead of invisible. Added a scrrenshot as attachment. It probably happens if you use black background, but still annoying

Thanks. Confirmed and reported to MQ.

Anyone using the position sizer ea? After the update mt5 crawls or crashes if the ea is on, how to fix this???

Apparently its because of the update .. EarnForex are reportedly working on  a fix

I found the culprit of bad AA Font rendering and general SLOWNESS. It is due to font type(probably for fonts that rely on ClearType Technology). You can reproduce the issue opening a clean chart, Add Graphical --> Text.

Now if you have added it as Arial, the whole chart starts to be very slow and also that same text look blurry. But, if you change that Text's Font to something like DeJaVu Sans, the text looks very crisp and the chart is very speedy and responsive.

It is clearly something related to font type, since just one text like "Hello" but in Arial, can slow down the whole chart at the point it is unusable. For example DeJaVu Sans is properly drawn and also it keep the chart very fast, so probably the Glyph Cache can be involved.

After some research, I think I found the real culprit, the Blend2D doesn't support TrueType Hinting, so only some fonts will work as expected.

https://github.com/blend2d/blend2d/issues/105

I can confirm that changing the font to DeJaVu Sans in ALL my charts solved my problem with MetaTrader 5 running very slow after the update to 5570+.
