Technical Difficulites [FIXED]
8 years ago
The reason why I closed commissions way earlier than I wanted (I think at some point before Christmas) and why they're still closed is because I'm having technical issues with my wacom tablets.. :c
I'm using an intuos and I got a second one (a different intuos, same series but not exact same model) because a friend gave it to me after she wasn't really using it anyways and thought I could put it to better use. But shortly after I tried it out, updating my driver (possibly my windows too? But I think that was afterwards) I started to have a bug when drawing.. I'm getting weird delays whenever I'm trying to make a quick stroke and it's not the usual "click & hold" issue.. I've been trying to fix it for a while now but it's hard to find anything through google that helps, especially since the click & hold issue is very similar and common and I'm finding mostly threads about that one. The only case that I found that seemed to have a similar problem had no solution for it. Apparently for them it was a problem with the Fall update of Windows 10 (I got Windows 8).
Whenever I reset the tablet settings it somewhat starts to work again for a little while (Still get a SMALL dent in it SOMETIMES while the other times it's two major ones leaving me unable to make smooth lines when drawing in quick strokes..) but always reseting those gets extremely annoying of course.
I basically just wanted to explain my recent inactivity but I decided to share the details in case anyone has a any clue how to fix it..
EDIT: After trying out all sorts of stuff to make it work I was pretty sure in the end that it was in fact a driver problem.. I think it was not compatible with my version of WIndows even though I fully updated both. Either way, I then uninstalled everything and got a previous version of the driver and now it works again. It's not ideal but at least I will be able to work again soon.

But in case I run out of options and patience; can you tell me how the yinova tablet works for you? :0 Have you noticed any differences in quality compared to wacom? I know there must be some other good companies out there but I still have to check it out. Might as well start with asking you if you don't mind c:
just for the love of god dont sneeze on it or get any liquid material on it, the glass you draw on is weird and i cant really explain that so well just dont do it lmao- -- its like it doesnt WANT to be clean because then its like uh.. weird texture feeling after u wipe off the liquid idk jesus just dont wipe it off with anything dampish ever
b ut yeah like honestly for my first tablet with a screen it was great. you can really tell the difference in linework and handwriting when u use it.... sorry for long comment lmao
I finally "fixed" the issue, though not the way I hoped.. Turns out it might be my version of Windows that is not compatible with the newest driver? (Not a 100% sure). Either way the only way I finally got it fixed was to uninstall everything and install the older version of the driver, now everything seems to be running again. Which is nice, but it's basically just taking a step back..
At least I'll be able to work again!
Again, thank you so much for the help!
