Pablo Montes Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hello, I'm trying to use my Huion Tablet G10T in Affinity Designer but it does not work properly. The problem is that it has a lag or delay that does not let draw the stokes/lines well. Also when one moves something with the tablet Pen, it continues moving by itself without direction and no stopping (it stops only when I changed the pen for the mouse). I recently changed the Driver for the last one available on the Huion website -HuionTablet_MacDriver_v14.3.10.181225 (beta) I'm using: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 The Tablet works well in Illustrator and Photoshop, but not in Affinity Designer. Any suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted February 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi @Pablo Montes, Has it worked fine before you updated the drivers? Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Montes Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hello, GabrielM No, I had the same problem, but I only tried it once in affinity before making the driver change. When I use it on Pixel persona, it works better at least to be able to use texture brushes. But in Vector Persona it is impossible to use the tablet Pen.

Staff Gabe Posted February 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2019 What is your canvas size / brush size? Can you send us a screen recording of this delay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Montes Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 The Canvas size is 8.5 "x 11" and the brushes fluctuate between width 6px, 14px to 32px Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted February 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks. Does it work fine with a standard, round brush with no texture? Does it work fine with he mouse, using the same textured brush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Montes Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 The behavior of the pen has been inconsistent. There are times when lagging is more or less the same with the standard round brush. Today is better, not perfect but better than with the textures brushes. Using the textures brushes with the mouse behaves better, although it also has a slight lagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted February 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2019 You should always be comparing the Tablet to the Mouse. Any chance you can try the beta and see if you notice any improvements? https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/15-designer-beta-on-mac/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Montes Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 OK, I'm going to download it when I have a chance during the day, and I'll let you know if there is any improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Montes Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm testing the Beta version now. When I'm in Vector persona the basic brushes work very well. When I try with brushes with textures, lagging returns. If I draw short lines it is usable, but if I try long lines the lagging increases to the point that the brush goes to the front as by an inch of difference from the current line. Neither gives me control to use the pen to move things or to use properly the forms like the square, they continue moving once I get the shape where I want. When I try brushes on Pixel persona, it is better and usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted February 6, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 6, 2019 Just out of interest. What are your mac specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Montes Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 OK, I'm attaching a screenshot of the Mac specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted February 7, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks. Is your tablet connected via the USB-C port? or wireless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Montes Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 It is wireless, USB is only to charge the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polygonius Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I had issues with another HUION and AP... but all get solved, after i restart the WHOLE compi with disconnected HUION-cable. But i had general huion-issues - but however, maybe the "magic of restart" will help??? Try it! My workaround: 1. Close all huion (driver/setup). Disconnect huion cable. 2. Restart 3. Open/close AP 4. Connect huion (but first take care the pencil is wide away) 5. open huion-app (do your settings) 6. Start AP ---------------------- Same action helped for my XP-pen, in my girlfriend flat/compi. The XP had other issues--- but it seems, this last century windows95 "restart-magic" is for tablets still necessary, even on modern macs!

Pablo Montes Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hello, Polygonius, even though I had already done several restarts and installed the new Huion driver with its settings, I decided to try your suggestion without much hope. To my surprise after doing everything you say, it began to work much better! Then I wanted to test if giving another restart the fix could be maintained. Unfortunately not, it showed a similar problem as before. I've done multiple restarts with modifications to see if I simplify the process, but I have nothing yet to be consistent - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For now, I'm going to have to keep doing from point 1 to 6 every time I use the Huion tablet. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Montes Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hello kingbily, thank you very much for your time in trying to help me with this issue. I do not understand very well because of the technicalities that you mention (my bad) and I get confused when you mention "running Windows natively" because the problem is with my MacOs. I'm going to reread it tomorrow to see if I understand what you suggest better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
