Yeah it's certainly annoying. The thing is...my PC and the GFX card work flawlessly in every single other application or use including the few graphic intensive games I might play, all video watching, all browsing...everything. Nothing else breaks down or glitches...except for Studio One. So to say the GFX card or its drivers are problematic is a tad harsh on that card and its drivers. In 99% of uses it is doing a fine job. So, Studio One would appear the odd one out when you look at it like that. I've been finding more and more (sure, because I'm looking) graphics issues associated with Studio One.

I'm not sure Studio One even provides a comprehensive breakdown and explanation detailing exactly what a graphics hardware acceleration issue is and why it happens. Furthermore, there's a Mac option to turn graphic hardware acceleration off...so clearly Studio One is aware that something is potentially problematic with graphics...however there's no option for PC and there's no explanation on the support page for this.

There is something about Studio One in its code or whatever that makes it susceptible to issues with graphics. If my rig works perfectly in all scenarios...except Studio One, logically speaking the weak link must be Studio One. I'd say the issue is one that effects a small percentage of users...and that determining the cause and the reasons are very difficult and go beyond 'you've got the wrong graphics card' or 'you've got the wrong drivers' or that 'your drivers are corrupted'. Which leaves you in a tough spot. You know...your drivers are corrupt...........but only when you're using Studio One. That's very suspicious.

Agree that it's frustrating - but this is not a common issue by any means. If it were - the forum would be full of crosstalk and chatter AND Presonus would certainly be aware.

But if it's your machine - which is unique - that's a hard sell saying that S1 is to blame.

I can guarantee that stranger things have happened. Too bad you cannot swap in another completely different card (without changing anything else) to test.

Another question I have - what's the graphics drivers scenario on that machine? Do you (or have you) installed some huge bloated graphics package that ASUS/AMD says is "required" or can you simply install a base GFX driver and that's all?

If it were me troubleshooting this and could not do a card swap - my next move would be to hard clear every trace of the graphics driver package and then install the latest driver ONLY. No addon packages, control panel applets or anything even remotely extra. Driver only.

AND - if this is an actual "ASUS" branded Radeon card - the trick here is to always use their drivers - NOT ones that come from AMD - even if it seems like the ASUS ones are a million years old.

If you really want to strip it back - consider the super basic driver that is most likely made available via Windows Update as well. You have nothing to lose by trying out different options.

I have seen a ton of weirdness in my travels where someone will have - say an Intel "integrated" CPU graphics chip and then they go and install the "latest" package from Intel and wonder why their display starts acting up - instead of using the 2022 driver from ASUS or whatever.

Yes, I do have the AMD Adrenalin graphics bloat thing installed. I haven't as yet tried just the driver alone. So, I better get and do that.

I still think it is suspicious that everything else functions perfectly...except Studio One. Anyway, I'll do the uninstall and go the driver only option.

EDIT: 3 days in with running my GFX card drivers only...no AMD Adrenalin bloatware. No graphics hardware acceleration issues yet. Early days, so I'll see what happens down the road. Fingies crossed.

I guess it has been about a week now and I've had no further interruptions from the graphics hardware acceleration issue detected error in Studio One. Fingers crossed, but it might just be that uninstalling the AMD "Adrenalin" bloatware and just going with a simple graphics card drivers install has fixed the problem. Which obviously means that of all the possible reasons discussed here and elsewhere, the AMD bloatware is to blame. Again, we will see what happens in the fullness of time.

Been about a couple of weeks or a bit more now. I've been using Studio One pretty heavily and finally the error message came back. So the problem continues but seems much less frequent than before. It remains a mystery. New-ish GFX card...old version of Studio One (latest v5). The GFX card isn't crazy new compared to a crazy old SOv5. So, yes, remains a mystery. Usually you can get to the bottom of things like this with the vast resource that is the internet. But not on this occasion. Oh. Well. I'll put up with it.

My situation is unrelated but maybe it intersects? I'm on a mac so I'm curious what you stumbled across in your search. I've been having graphic issues with S1 v5 since its' release. Issues like Klanghelm VUMT lagging, Wavesfactory Quantum lagging, UVI Shade lagging, Superior Drummer lagging. With Superior Drummer, it can get sluggish in navigating the midi editor. I never really thought much about it because it doesn't affect the audio and I chalked it up to the Mac Pro's older GPU.
I recently got a Softube Console 1 MK3 and the graphic lag on the unit and OSD is affecting the hardware control of plugins. I've been in touch with Softube and was advised to turn off Metal (which Windows doesn't have) and it didn't resolve the issue. I was convinced it was computer being from 2013 and it definitely can be a contributing variable!
I've been testing Reaper for the last month and I have no issues with above mentioned plugins or Softube Console 1.
Even though I'm on a Mac, I guess I just wanted to respond to let you know you're not alone and maybe we can uncover something together.

Hey thank you. That appears to be a really recent update there. I'll be trying that . Cheers.

Interesting, thanks. I've started thinking about Reaper too. The common denominator certainly appears to be Studio One. I mean I wouldn't bet my life on that but the odd one out does look like Studio One, the more you look into things. There's just no other application or scenario or situation on my PC where the graphics glitch, disappear and generate errors like they do when using Studio One. Take Studio One out of the equation, like you have done, and use something like Reaper (or anything I'd imagine) and the issue goes away. Anyway, the good fella above provided a link to the latest drivers...which look very recent. So I'll give them a run.

Did you ever try unchecking "enable graphics hardware acceleration" checkbox in the preferences?
I had various plugins like ADPTR Metric AB showing lag when using complex routings.
Unchecking this setting solved the issue.

The option is only for MAC, it's not present on Windows based systems.

It stopped flagging up for me and the only thing I updated was Windows 11. It used to be constant while internet browsing if you opened the DAW. Instant error about hardware acceloration. I'm still on 6.5.1 as well though.

Yes , I know. But I´m definitely quoting and responding to "ericma2" who is
twice stating in his post that he is on Mac.

My fault I thought it was for HelloPeople

After uninstalling the AMD Adrenalin bloat stuff the issue went away for me for about 2 weeks with constant and heavy use of Studio One. I thought things were looking up. But the error has been back of late. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm browsing/ not browsing/ have browsers open or not open or anything. I've also trialed SO6 and the error/ fault likes SO6 too. So, not peculiar to v5 or anything.

I'm about to install the new drivers for my GFX card. They are really recent. We'll see what happens. I have about zero expectation of any improvement.

Before you install display drivers, do a full uninstall, reboot and run this:
