Hello, been using Krita a bit now, and love it! But got on last night to draw, and had issues with my lines. After a bit I figured it might have been because I was tired. But this morning I got on and the problem was still there. Tested to see if it was my new USB cord, but the old one did the same thing. Tested the tablet in another program, and it was fine. So I concluded it was Krita. So I came to seek help, any ideas on what's causing this? It makes it hard to draw. Even with Stabilizer on, it still is rough feeling, and the cursor lags even on low settings.

I have an example of what's happening:

Help would be appreciated! Since I love Krita and would like to continue my work.

hi there,

you're saying the cursor lags, so maybe we're running into performance trouble. here's my checklist for when performance isn't as good as you'd like:

• in very recent versions, stabilizer things and input things have been improved, so please make sure you're running the latest version of krita you can get on the website - maybe even one of the beta versions you can find in the "news" section on the front page of krita.org - you can find your currently running krita version information in Help -> About Krita.
• if you have a laptop or some other device where you can switch between two graphics cards, make extra sure that krita runs with the "discrete" graphics card, rather than the "embedded" one.
• try turning Instant Preview off (or on if it was off before) from the "view" menu
• See if Krita Settings -> Display -> Use OpenGL is turned on. performance is usually better with OpenGL turned on, unless you have driver trouble

i hope one of these suggestions helps!

Thanks! But sadly that didn't help. I have OpenGL on and instant preview off already, and my version is 3.0.1.1. I can't swap my graphics sadly, since I'm on a desktop with only one card. And the main thing for me is, the lag wouldn't be a problem, because before I was using no smoothing and have nice lines. But now they're jagged and I need the smoothing, but then that is where it becomes another problem. Probably a problem different to the jagged lines. The lagging is probably my not-so-great GPU, but I'm mostly concerned about fixing the line issue, whatever may be causing it.
