I've been using Krita for about 3-4 months now with absolutely no issues. Even on my most involved canvases, the performance never dropped and I haven't had any issues with lag. On my most recent project, everything was going fine until the brush started lagging in the middle of a project. I tried to update the display driver but there wasn't one. I tried disabling graphics acceleration and nothing changed. I tried opening a completely blank canvas and there was still lag. I even uninstalled Krita and reinstalled it, to no effect. It feels like there's a stabilizer with a very high radius on at all times, even though I have it disabled. Is anyone else having this same issue? It started around 2:30 central time on the 9th. My specs are:

Processor: Intel Core I7 8750
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060
16 GB of RAM

If I can get this fixed as soon as possible that would be great. I have a time-sensitive project I'm working on. Thanks.

Have you checked https://docs.krita.org/en/KritaFAQ.html#krita-is-slow ?

Did you get an OS update (and which OS are you using)

Have you tried resetting Krita's settings? See https://docs.krita.org/en/KritaFAQ.html ... figuration

I was notified of this answer, but I was not the poster. I just want to make sure DJTron, the original poster gets notified. My login is gregsc
Thanks.

I just tried resetting to default settings. It worked but now everything is back at default obviously. Is there any way to reset the configuration while preserving aspects such as sensitivity, UI, and keybinds?

Not really. You should, of course, keep a backup of the kritarc file, but it's going to be tough to figure out what settings you changed to create the problems, exactly. And if you know those, you could just have changed them back in the gui.

@DJTron: You can Save/Load a set of your custom shortcuts or Import/Export an entire shortcut scheme. This is in the Settings -> Configure Krita -> Keyboard Shortcuts section at the bottom of the window. As far as I know, that's the only separate control you have over your configuration.

The rest of it is stored in the kritarc file and that is readable but not easily understandable so you have little to zero chance of figuring out what went wrong.

As Boud said, when you're happy with your configuration, you should make a backup copy of the kritarc file (and maybe the other krita--rc files) so that you can restore them if you have problems in the future.

Thanks for responding, everyone! about a half-hour after I posted I figure out which parts of the Kritarc file corresponded to the settings and just copied those over to the new file. It works great now.
