Working with windows 8 or 8.1 and Horizon View 5.3 using VMware Client 2.3.3) scrolling slow and hesitates

[gbog]

Just wondering if this is something just in house or something bigger.  When on wired or wireless on Windows 8 and 8.1 (notebooks/tablets), using Horizon view client 2.3.3, I'm getting hesitation in scrolling mostly in Outlook 2010 and bigger excel spreadsheets, that I don't see on my Windows 7 machines using the same client.  Anyone else have notice this and/or resolve?

Thanks for any advice...

This is with Horizon View 5.3.

We attempted , and i use that word loosely to get 8.1 working in View 5.3

One team i used as a guinea pig wanted to skewer me after a day.  I had to revert them back.  Performance is atrocious even after optimizing.  I'm not even sure it is officially supported in 5.3.  I'm going to wait for View 6 and re-visit this project

I know this is a little old, but found the fix for our windows 8.1 tablet users.   On the client itself, we removed the client cache completely doing the following steps:

Create a new file as below.

C:\Users\vditest\AppData\Local\Teradici\pcoip_client_settings.txt

and write this line into it.

pcoip.enable_tile_based_image_caching = "0"

Oh, you never mentioned you were using pcoip (vs rdp).  Now it makes sense.
