My paint.net has gone way slower

[xolbor]

I had to recently format my computer due to some problems in my corrupted user profile so i had to get all my old programs from scratch.

Paint.net used to run perfectly without any issues.

Later today , after i installed the program , ive noticed some rendering lag when using the recolour tool.

Ive tried disabling hardware acceleration but it didnt work.

 

Does anyone have a fix for it?

Ugh, reformatting is the worst. I feel your pain.

 

What version of Paint.Net are you using?

Can you provide us with some details about your system?

If you have an NVIDIA GeForce and are using GSync, make sure GSync's "windowed mode" is not enabled. It really doesn't work, and it completely janks up the framerate for apps like Paint.NET. Only enable GSync in "fullscreen" mode. (This setting is in the NVIDIA control panel.)

I know this thread is old but instant fix, thanks a ton. Went from having sometimes sub 40 framerates (which on my system was completely alien.) Now back to constant 144hz after changing that one setting

Paint.NET should be registering a profile with the NVIDIA driver to tell it not to use GSync. Configuring that yourself  should no longer be necessary.
