Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hi, I just installed the new dongle-less version on Monterey (Thanks so much for the quick help with that Matthieu!)
Everything seems to be working well except when I'm drawing I now get these dots at the start of my pen stroke every now and then...
It's like the pen sensitivity sometimes kicks in too late then it makes this round dot at the start of the line.
(screengrabs attached)

I don't think it's a Wacom thing because it never did it before, only after I installed my new TV Paint today.
It's only happening in TV Paint, not in Photoshop.

I'm working on a new Macbook Pro 14 M1 Pro
Wacom Cintiq pro 24
TV Paint v11.5.3 64bit

Could you open the pressure profile editor with that brush, play around a bit and see if that changes something?

Yes, it would help to for us to look at the brush.
can you share a tvpx with the brush in it? or pinpoint which one, if its a brush delivered with tvp.

Hi Gerhard

Sharing the brush would indeed help! Could you also please give us your Wacom drivers version?

Hi guys, thanks so much for the response. I have played around with it. Didn't really help.
Here's a screengrab of the brush. As well as a test page where I tried to replicate the problem more. It definitely gets worse if I do light lines with very little pressure...

Peter, it's the pink standard pen in the Pen pannel. Pen 3. See attachment

OK, TVP setting look normal, what about pressure profile in tablet driver?

Hey @slowtiger I don't know if it changed something but I opened up the Wacom pressure profile to check it out after you mentioned it... played around with it a bit and now the problem seems to be gone! Even though I pretty much moved it back to where it was
Hopefully that did the trick... maybe the Wacom driver just freaked out or something but I will keep checking it.

Thanks so much for the speedy help. You guys rock!

Interesting to read this ... we are aware of this weird "overpressure" thing when the pen touches the tablet for the first time, it's just a matter of time (and hardware) to undestand what happens. Good to know that a driver setting could be in cause.

I guess by just moving it the Wacom driver overwrote whatever (faulty) setting was there before. This can happen when programmers forget to initialize properly.

Hay, ich setze noch eines drauf, das hatten wir vor langer Zeit schon mal.
Erinnert Ihr euch noch? damla war auch ich diejenige die danach fragte.
Wichti: es ist auf jeden Fall eher ein Problem von Windows.
Manchmal eines Treibers von Grafikkarten.
Im Sytem von Windows ist es wichtig die stift und Tablettfunktion ABZUSTELLEn. ja ich schreib das extra groß damit man es nicht vergisst. Zwischen den letzten 6-7 Jahren war das eigentlich ( bei mir) kein Thema mehr.
Aber die letzten W10 und 11 machen es wieder ganz deutlich. Sowie ich alles auf AUS stelle ist mit TVPaint alles gut.
Ich habe schon die tollsten Mahlfehler gehabt, die nur durch die Paralele von Windows in Bezug auf Tablet und Stift einstellungen ausgelöst werden.
Das lasse ich ab jetzt immer nur AUS.
Ich sag gut strich , ach ja- Hiermit könnt Ihr Euch eine Tischdecke ausdrucken lassen.
