Problem w/ Anki desktop. Currently using what I believe to be the latest version. Have attempted the troubleshooting steps. Problem recurs with regularity, every time I do reviews on desktop. This is not an add-on issue, as problem persists whether or not add-ons are enabled.
The first 0:15 seconds of the video show standard reviews. Nothing odd is occurring here. However, the card at 0:16 (with “Edmund Rostand” as answer to the cloze prompt) begins to screw up. The card itself reviews fine. However, the next card ("((cloze)) wrote “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard”) never actually shows its own back. Instead, that card ALSO shows the Edmund Rostand card’s back when I click “show answer.” Then, the next card (“They’re the islands seen here”) reviews fine. Then, the next card (the one about Stuttgart) never actually shows its own back. Instead, that card shows the “islands” card’s back.
This is a recurring problem that completely renders reviewing on the computer impractical for me right now. I am having to do all my reviews on mobile.
Does anybody have any tips or workarounds? If not, then I respectfully want to flag this as a fairly major glitch for dev attention!
Go back to the Troubleshooting Checklist – Troubleshooting - Anki Manual . This issue is usually related to video divers, so try #6 again, and try all of the options, restarting after each change.
It seems to be specific to PCs with Nvidia graphics cards, though, so if that isn’t the case here, then the cause is probably somewhere else.
In any case, with that workaround, I was able to continue using Direct3D as the video driver, which is much faster and more responsive than any of the other options, at least on my system.
Thank you! I have not had the same problem recur when switching off the Direct3D driver, though my cards seem to load images a tad slower while on any of the other three video options. Maybe it’s a placebo, but I feel there’s a tiny lag when loading any card with a large image (which is most of my cards). I’ll give the solution @Smill cited a go and see if that does the trick. Appreciate the support!
Unfortunately, this did not alleviate the issue for me. Continuing to have reviews showing the wrong card when using Direct3D even under these settings.
Well, fortunately, even if they aren’t ideal, the other drivers seem to work for you. I actually used the OpenGL driver for months until I stumbled upon that solution, and I didn’t really have any major complaints.
Hopefully future updates of the graphics toolkit will end up fixing the issue (as that’s where most of these inexplicable rendering bugs seem to originate).
