when i move the “drawing preview cursor” it stutters and lags intensely, ive tried a lot to fix it, like all the canvas acceleration settings and memory settings. the only renderer that doesn’t have the problem is the software renderer but of course that one is very slow. turning of canvas graphics accelerations doesn’t help either.
i have an rtx 2070 super graphics card
Intel(R) Core™ i5-9600KF CPU
and 16gb of ram
Hello and welcome to the forum 
Which version number of krita are you using and where did you get it from?
Which operating system are you using?
Are you drawing with a mouse or a graphics tablet?
If a graphics tablet, which make and model number is it?
When drawing with the Freehand Brush tool, is the Brush Smoothing option set to None in the Tool Options docker?
Do you have stutter/lag when you move the cursor around the menu bar, i.e. not on the canvas or surrounding workspace area?
Is the stutter/lag when you’re actually drawing or when you’re moving the cursor around over the canvas, or both?
How is the cursor behaviour in other drawing applications, if you have any?
hey, thanks for responding!.
Im using Krita 5.0.6 x64 (at the time of writing, the lastest version)
i’m using windows 10 operating system
the problem is with a mouse, i ordered a graphics tablet that should come in a week, so can’t tell if its only the mouse yet.
brush smoothing option is set to none, but the other options have the same problem.
the stutter/lag is not on the menu bar, only on the canvas and only when using tools that use brush strukes i.e. freehand brush tool, elipse, rectangle, line
the stutter/lag is both when im drawing and when i’m not drawing.
other applications are fine, i’ve used paintDotNet and photoshop for years with no problems.
Something similar to this has been seen before but usually with drawing tablets, not a mouse, and it’s a puzzle to me.
If you could take a video screenshot of the stutter/lag and make it available using a file sharing service or maybe post it on Imgur and give a link in a reply here, that would be useful to see and the characteristics may give someone a clue.
I think you can upload an .mp4 file (3MB file size limit) in a reply here but I’ve never tried that, so you can try and see if you can.
Windows portable version also doesn’t seem to help.
just got an xp pen deco 1 v2 and can now confirm that this problem ONLY happens with a mouse. so, thats good i guess.
I’m glad things are ok with your new tablet and it is strange that it’s the mouse that has problems.
Is it an ordinary mouse or a fancy gaming mouse with it’s own driver that you installed?
Logitech g502 gaming mouse.
i think the problem is still there with the tablet though, its just so subtle with a pen that its not really a problem
It would be interesting to remove the Logitech gaming mouse and uninstall its driver, then use an ‘ordinary’ mouse to see if that fixes the mouse problem and if it makes any difference to what you think may be a subtle problem with the tablet.
It should be noted that gaming mice, with their specialist drivers, can interfere with tablet operation.
