You might want to check if you have an Arturia's Pigments in your project.
This little bastard is responsible to wreck some big projects and mess with their graphics.
Usuall victims are :
Cableguys
Soothe
Eventide
Seventh Heaven
Thermal
Possibly more.


If you unload the plugin won't do anything. You have to remove it and then save the "clean" version and reload the project.

I found this by mistake since it seems to work normal and it's own graphics are unaffected and i thought it would be nice to share with you in case you are in the same boat.
Unfortunately V3 is the same. Pity because i love to play with it... but you can always make a sound and record it, then get rid of it.

FL Studio 20.8.3
RTX 2060

With which DAWs did you had this problem?

 

Maybe a driver update for your graphics card might solve the issue.

 

OpenGL Problem ?
Our plugins now uses OpenGL to manage their visual interface.
- Your Open GL / GPU drivers are not up to date.

Another idea ?
Have you tried to run a Windows sfc/ scannow as administrator?
In case a system file is corrupted or missing. Just something to try.

Look like something has been corrupted, since it has worked before with the excact same plugin and program versions. If it was after a Arturia update, then you can try to download and install the previous version from the download page archives.

there is a better place for such reports and you may guess three times.

 

You mean we should report to bloody arturias bug tracking system? we, with our sister-site releases? Awsome Idea!
I'm happy about tha post.

 

Latest (20.8.3) FL Studio also happens on previous versions

RTX 2060

Always looking that first, latest NVidia. also bugging previous versions

Scan reports found something and fixed it. Could it be this? i will check and report back. Thanks for reminder for whatever it fixed
It happens since the release of Pigments, all versions 1/2/3 , the same...

EDIT: Actually didn't fix anything but it came with an older version of this bug where it freezes FL Studio graphics.
I mean nothing is moving visually but everything's working and sound ok.

There has been a report in the past when my partner was renting it.
