Lately, it’s been a little frustrating to work with Krita—the program has been crashing frequently, which didn’t happen in version 5.2. Since version 5.3, the performance has been terrible, which is quite discouraging since I usually recommend Krita a lot, but if the program starts having too many p…

I didn’t notice any changes so far:thinking:

I wonder what could be the actual root cause; I did a brief win10 test like, yesterday (to check performance before I link my configs between the dual-boot basically), and I didn’t notice anything unusual. The db building took a long while since I did this as a fresh install with all my old stuff in…

It’s hard to rule out it’s just windows, since for a while now all my windows applications started to really suck (I’m forced to use widows at work) more with every windows update, while I didn’t notice anything with Krita specifically on my Linux.

I use Krita on a Mac and I haven’t experienced any crashes or other performance issues.

Unfortunately, it’s only Krita—starting with version 5.3—that’s giving me problems. I was one of the people who found the interface ran slowly at first, but that was fixed later. Unfortunately, it seems the issue wasn’t fully resolved—neither Blender nor any other drawing programs I’ve tried are hav…

I think it was when they changed the Angle or Qt thing—I don’t really remember, but specifically starting with version 5.3. [image] Krita 5.3/6.0 beta thread Develop All right, I have a few things to say. 1.- Krita feels very heavy, especially when navigating…

Clean all your settings. Like all of them. After that krita will start working properly again. I was having the same issue and reinstalled older versions and they also became slow and crashy. My biggest issue was canvas zoom pan rotation with the stylus. So i thought something is corrupted. After a…

mine randomly crashes sometimes ( i use linux)

I’ve been getting crashes frequently on Linux. I save a lot so it hasn’t been a huge problem yet but it’s certainly bothersome. The other day drawing was also laggy for me (or at least the speed parameter of the brush engine was lagging; everything I tried to draw was interpreting the speed way hi…

I’m on Windows 11 and things have been smooth going for me (especially with the Nightly Next version I downloaded the other week). [image] Current WIP: [image]

Has Krita's performance gotten worse?
