Hello,

sorry for the obscure subject but I had no idea how to call that problem.

I have been using Krita 292 for quite a while and I recently upgraded to 295 but I have noticed a problem with the strokes.
I am 90% certain this problem was not in 292 (I never noticed any problem with it, while I noticed that problem with literally the first stroke in 295).

if I do a stroke too fast, it seems like Krita can not keep up with the stroke and ends up using straight lines in the curve. let me assure you I am not a cyborg who can move at inhumane speed.
the stabilizer does not seem to affect the problem (I tested it with every options (basic/weighted smoothing, stabilizer) and the problem appears in all case).

I took a picture of the problem (and drew in red what I mean, left strokes are actual fast strokes, right stroke is just an example of what it does) :




the only fix I have found for it so far is to raise the stabilizer to a higher value, since it slows down the line and lets Krita... well, make a pretty, smooth curve. or to go slower.

I am on Mint KDE 17.1 using Krita Lime and I have tested it on W7 and with the same result
I use the default brushes in Krita, with the default A4 300dpi template.

I am 100% sure that we didn't change anything about how strokes are registered.

What might be going on, and this would also be really strange, is that Krita has gotten slower for you. You should play with the OpenGL settings under settings->configure Krita->display to see if it's related to your videocard.

I tried every option, with restarting the program between each change (just to make sure) and it didn't solve the problem.
it's weird, because SAI doesn't have this problem, the curves are good. I did that 10 minutes ago :


maybe you haven't changed anything about stroke registration, but I see tons of options for performance that weren't here before. maybe this impacts it indirectly?
I haven't changed my hardware and I don't remember changing anything special in 292 settings...
Krita is installed on a SSD and my computer is very decent in terms of performance (like I said 292 ran fine, SAI runs fine too)

Well, it might be that windows updated your graphics drivers in between, Sai doesn't do anything with the graphics card, so logically it wouldn't be affected.

The performance options aren't any different outside of the pool being a little lower, we just exposed them to the UI.

EDIT: Wait, I see the issue now: Use basic smoothing.

You may have accidentally turned this off, but Basic smoothing prevents the segmented look on strokes, that certain tablets give. Because not all tablets have this and some people could use all the performance they can get their hands on, we don't do this by default.

For the stablizer it's normal that moving fast gives segmented results, because you are giving it less points to build up the smoothed curve from. The stablizer is meant to be used slowly, so it has more points to smooth.

I see. I was convinced it didn't happen on 292 but I found an old executable of it and tested it on it... and you're right. that's the problem.
thanks for the help!
