I think I found a bug on the 5.2.0 version of krita

I’ve been using krita overall for around 3-4 years now on my wacom one and around 1 year on my samsung tab s6 lite. It ran beautifully up until earlier in the week. My samsung tablet had a software updat on Monday and ever since then, the krita app keeps crashing. It mainly keeps crashing whenever I try to change something around with the layers (eg: moving my layers into a group, copying and pasting layers, making layers invisible and visible), but it also crashes whenever I do things such as using the shapes tools and even crashes the second I make a new file. Because of how often it crashes, its impossible to get any work done. Im not sure if this is a probkem with krita or with my tablet since its been only crashing since I got a software update.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Does it sound like this bug?

Yea it sounds similar. There was another comment saying to download 5.1.5 from an apk. I tried downloading it straight from the krita websitenbut it wouldnt download because “app is not installed as app isnt compatible with your phone”. Im tryna download it on my tablet and on the website it says yiu can only download it in tablet. Is there a way around this?

Is this the web page you visited?

For your tablet, you need to know if it is ARM and 64 bit or something else.

Make sure you pick the right one. Download it, then when it’s loaded, open it. It will ask you if you want to install it. You may also have to authorize non-Play Store apps on your device.
