Description Arso 2019-12-03 04:20:48 UTC

SUMMARY

Every single time when I open Krita, I always have to pray to whatever holy figure is out there, even though I'm atheist. The reason for that is 'cuz it's always a gamble if Krita will work with my tablet or not. I can tell it's not going to work when I select a brush and it doesn't go from 100 px to 40 px/default for that brush. That, and sometimes the only way I can get it to work sometimes is when the brush size does change, I have to start off canvas and lower my pressure as I go on canvas in one stroke. If I don't do that, it'll just... Not respond to pressure.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita
2. Cry
3. Restart PC
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until given up.

OBSERVED RESULT

Pen pressure does not work. May be a Wacom issue, but at the same time, may be a Krita issue or system issue.

EXPECTED RESULT

Probably above.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

My tablet is an old Intuos Draw. It is 100% up to date, Windows 10 is 100% up to date, and I believe Krita should be as well. Any tips or suggestions or fixes is heavily appreciated! Thank you.

Also... I'm sorry if my explanation is confusing. I am very tired.

Try resetting the tablet settings. Wacom's driver sometimes corrupts the tablet settings file and then Krita cannot get a tablet context. You also might want to check whether using windows ink works better.

Instead of restarting your PC, you can go to ctrl+alt+delete, select Task Manager, select Advanced if you don't have advanced options already, go to Services and restart the service called WTablet or WTabletPro. I was often doing that for my Intuos Pro after hibernation (because the driver somehow doesn't like hiberation).
