Jumping line issue

Post by Kramme »

I recently got myself a new laptop and was looking forward to running TV Paint on it. Unfortunately, when I installed it and rehosted my license I ran into this issue where the line I draw jumps to the side like a seismograph. It only seems to happen with TV Paint, not other softwares, and only when using my Cintiq. I remember seeing someone with a similar issue on here (years ago) but can't find the topic again, so I'm hoping someone is able to help me solve this.

I run TV Paint 11.7.4 on Windows 11 and use a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 P.

Hello Kramme, in the General tab of your TVP11's Preferences panel, is the drawing mode set to Wintab with the "Subpixel" option enabled?

The official answer from TVPaint is to "turn on the subpixel option," but this causes problems with the right-click detection (it doesn't work unless you get the pen very close).
The solution we found in our studio was to "set the top-left monitor as the main display." I have attached it for your reference.

Hello everyone,

Both those problems have been reported to the devs (Subpixel creating right-click issues and the monitor position triggering this odd jumping line behavior).
The aforementioned workarounds can still be useful while those issues are being fixed.
