Citrix Releases Receiver For Mac

1. Citrix Receiver For Mac 10.14

Was finally forced to upgrade to Citrix Workspace a few days ago. Ever since then, performance is HORRIFIC. I can open a Cerner application, then immediately get the 'spinning beach ball'. Click search, wait for beach ball. Enter first term, wait for beach ball. Enter second term, wait for beach ball.

Citrix Receiver For Mac 10.14

Click search. Wait for beachball.

Have NOT had this issue in the past at all. At this point it's going to take me five times as long to do my job because Citrix is causing horrible performance issues. Edit: I found Citrix Receiver 12.9.1 downloads, uninstalled Workspace, and installed Receiver, and no performance issues.

So it's not me, my network connection, or my computer. It's Workspace. Edited October 10, 2018 by walterhpdx Updating with Receiver information. I’ve tried the terminal command listed above, and I still prefer the user experience on Mac OSX 10.14 with the old Receiver app than Workspace, which I use to remotely access our hospital EMR (EPIC)—unsupported or no. Workspace drags, hangs, and has an interface that is reminiscent of a Windows emulator like the Parallels Access Virtual Machine. Citrix Receiver wasn’t perfect by any means, but it still reproduces my desktop experience from our hospital intranet much more seamlessly than Workspace, and I’m hoping Receiver will remain functional on Mojave until Workspace is substantially improved.

I don't know if it's just my hopefulness or if it's the fact that I've got my laptop docked, but the early release certainly is faster when it comes to screen painting of Citrix hosted applications. Just a quick run through of our Citrix based MSFT Office and Cerner applications and none of the lag is there. There's still a small lag when clicking open some menus (like the system doesn't register where your mouse is, so when you click there's nothing that opens because it didn't think your mouse was in the correct spot to click), but I can deal with that by waiting an extra half second. If the screen painting issue is finally resolved as it appears to be, then I'll be happy. FYI, I haven't used Podio, but signed up so I can leave you feedback - but I have no access to that space.
