Inconsistent Lines

Hello,

I always get these weird gaps around the start of my stroke.

Krita

When I use the tablet tester it all works perfectly fine, so from what I heard, it’s not a tablet-realted issue then.

Krita-2

Also I tried other programs (Paint & FireAlpaca) for reference and I couldn’t replicate the issue there.

This all started when I got my new Tablet (XP Pen Artist 22E Pro) (Driver: Win_1.6.4.200728). On my old one (XP Pen Star 03) it all worked as intended. Also, I’m working on a Windows, as the driver suggests. Is there any known fix for this issue?
I only found one reddit post relating to the same question and there was no fix mentioned in there.

Hello and welcome to the forum

There is a thing with Windows where you have to choose between Wintab and Windows Ink for the driver interface method.
This is done at Settings -> Configure Krita -> Tablet settings group, where you enable/disable those selection tick boxes.
That has to match up with what your tablet is set to and also the Windows Ink settings of your computer.

Here is a quote taken from @tiar who knows much more about it:

@tiar

When someone downloads and installs a Wacom driver, then by default Wintab is enabled too and they could use the Wintab API (which is default in Krita). Sometimes there is some error when both Wintab and Windows Ink is enabled in the tablet driver, I don’t think it happens with Wacoms but it does happen with Huion and XP Pens - then you might need to either switch Krita to Windows Ink or disable Windows Ink in the driver.

Thanks for your reply.
I already tried out both variations (WinTab + no Windows Ink & Windows 8 + Pointer Input + Windows Ink enabled) but unfortunately, that didn’t solve the problem either.

Were you sure to restart your PC after changing the setting? especially to Windows Ink, I dunno why but it seem to make a lot of difference.
