Stutters and performance Issues
Decided to switch to krita from photoshop but everytime I place the pen down to start drawing it stutters before anything is drawn (Happens with all brushes)

Turning off in-game overlay.Steam's Settings -> In-game fixed these stutters and the tablet constantly bugging off.

Hey there,

What exactly do you mean by it stuttering? It only happens when you first touch down on the canvas or does it continue to lag behind as you glide the stroke around?

Could it be that you have accidentally turned on the brush stabilizer (lazy mouse)? Please check that setting. While the Brush Tool is active, take a look at your Tool Options Docker (Settings>Dockers>Tool Options) and make sure that "Brush Smoothing" is set to something like "Basic".

If not that, then maybe it's your system specs or some issue with your tablet/driver? What's your hardware setup like?

(You may also want to ask on our new Q&A site, ask.krita.org, since most of the other devs don't really check the Steam community much! We'll try our best to get this figured out for you, no matter what.)

Interesting, thanks a lot for the info Luihutin.

Maybe there's some way we can disable the overlay with Krita in general so that nobody else runs into this annoying issue.

I'm here following up:

After I switched from my ages old Trust to a Wacom Intuos I no longer have the tablet software constantly conflicting with whatever Steam is doing, so now I have a working tablet running with it.

It is a bummer some tablets just get really confused and laggy nowadays, I would consider getting something like this thing, it's not a bad price at hundred euros or your regional equivalent, either.
