I used my app with no issues for 1 day, then after a few days of not using it it doesn’t work anymore. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and every time i try to make a new document, it just freezes and says not responding, I can’t even use it. What can I do?

Yes, I have a Huion Tablet, but I have tried it without the tablet using just my mouse and the issue continues. I don’t have Powertoys or Google Drive Desktop installed either.

For the record, I’m also noticing that in v6 there’s no lag.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for me, but apparently the problem doesn’t occur if the tablet isn’t connected.

Could you please make a video of thin non-UI lag?

Why my issue with laggy 6.0 was moved here? 5.3 is overall one big lag. ui is lagging, brushes are slow, canvas is unresponsive. in 6.0 there is just slight lag like canvas smoothing is forced on. But otherwise works pretty good.

I’m using windows 11 on Asus vivobook S15 and it’s lagging like crazy. I couldn’t even click on help button without it being at the verge of crashing and fans blaring. Everything is so slow and the program suddenly no longer detect my brushes either. (I downloaded through the website, not steam)
