Bug with first stroke of brush: comes out without pressure sensitivity

[dream3]

Hey guys, just installed Affinity photo in my fresh windows 10 setup. I have a wacom intuos pro and a 3090 GPU.

I have disabled windows ink in the wacom driver for Affinity.

 

Yet I still get a loss of pressure sensitivity in the first strokes of the pen while trying to paint with a brush.

What can I do to solve this? With photoshop I force wintab drivers and all issues are gone by the way.

 

I desperately want to use Affinity to paint in 32bit as a photoshop replacement, but with such an issue its impossible.

Hi @dream3 welcome to the forums,

What is your Tablet Input Method set to under Edit > Preferences > Tools? Have you tried changing this between High/Low Precision for comparison? Is this the same on all brushes?

I've not found any issue with the pressure on an initial stroke on a standard Intuos BT S with Windows Ink disabled within their app and using High Precision in Photo.

Though to me in macOS the Wacom pen / brush pressure works I am interested in this mentioned Precision preference. – Or is this a Windows specific setting?

The Tablet Input Method is a Windows specific setting in tools, I've found a good explanation below of the difference between them.
