VS unresponsive/unstable when paired with pen tablet
-
@Vivek What kind of tablet was this happening with? Was it on Windows or Mac?
-
It happens with Huion Giano, Artisul A102, and XP. All three are pen tablets. I use Windows 11 on a gaming PC. Which is overpowered for design.
-
@Vivek Can you make a short recording of some of the glitches when using the tablet? Thanks!
-
@Vivek It is a known problem. I've mentioned this many times in my threads. In the latest, I found the solution.
In short - disable Windows Ink to operate VS with no problems but without stylus pressure sensitivity.
I really hope that @VectorStyler will fix this issue soon.
-
@Harry @Vivek I will try to integrate the wacom driver.
-
@Vivek I added the WinTab driver support to the Windows version. If the wintab driver is present, the Settings -> Application section will have a "Use Tablet Driver" option (last in the right column).
Enabling this should enable the pressure support when Windows Ink is off. -
Hi: Thanks for this! This did not solve my problem, unfortunately. Instead, when I switched off windows ink and changed to use tablet driver, it completely disabled my tablet. I was able to move the cursor but interactivity was completely gone. This really is the only thing that's standing between me and a full switch to VS. So, please fix this when you can - I want to say as soon as you can - but I know you have your roadmap.
I also need two other vital feature: a toggle for relative vs absolute brush sizes sizes vs zoom levels on the path brush tool as well as using the most recent attributes by simple selection. But I know you said features aren't coming any time soon - that's okay.
More urgently, I need better tablet support sans the unpredictable behaviour. Thank you!
-
@Vivek Some additional tablet types will be tested soon.
-
@Vivek Tested it with the XP Pen tablet (deco1 v2) and indeed there are a lot of problems. It turns out that the XP Pen driver does not follow the wacom spec for the wintab interface.
I will try to have a fix for this in the next build.
I hope that the other tablet drivers (Huion, etc) have the same issues, and this fix will work for those also.

@VR said in VS unresponsive/unstable when paired with pen tablet:

Question on this: would this mean that when zoomed in, the brush size used while painting (and the stroke width also), will be the same relative to the screen points?
