I have no idea how to fix the black screen that occurs when i make a new layer. It happens all the time and I myself got NO IDEA how to fix it. ive been looking around and people have been talking about editing codes, and terminals were involved. the thing is.. i have no idea how to use that. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open program (64 bit) 2.Make a new canvas 3.annnd black screen Actual Results: i cant see what im drawing, the program shows the line si draw on the layer preview, but its all covered up by that black screen. Expected Results: ...let me draw? i guess? Im so sorry if im being a teeny little bother, but i have never reported a bug in my life. so i dont really know much about it.... sorry.
That sounds like you have Windows and an Intel graphics chip. Some versions of Intel drivers are broken and cause a black screen. You have to go to settings/configure krita/display and disable opengl. See: https://docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#Krita_start_with_a_black_canvas_and_nothing_changes_when_you_try_to_draw.2Fshows_a_black_screen_on_my_Windows_system_with_an_Intel_GPU We hope to bring out a new 3.0 pre-alpha developer build this weekend which has a fix that mitigates the problem with some intel cards/drivers.
