[RESOLVED] drawing with pen tablet lags at the start??

[doormatt]

whenever i start a brush stroke with my pen tablet in krita, the program freezes up for about half a second before allowing me to continue drawing my stroke. i'm not sure what's causing the issue, but i know that it isn't my pen tablet, because i tried using it in ms paint and it didn't lag the same way. does anyone know how i might be able to troubleshoot this?

(ps, im new to using both krita and a pen tablet, so if you have an idea of how i can troubleshoot this, explaining how to do what you think i should try to do to troubleshoot would be really helpful. thanks!!)

Does it actually freeze, or just have a long delay?

Tool Options > Brush Smoothing

Do you have some insane value set there by default, which causes line smoothing to drag longer than it should?

brush smoothing is set to "basic"
i don't think that's the issue, i think krita is actually freezing, although i wouldn't be sure why. my mouse works fine. i tried different brush sizes to see if that affected the length of the freeze, but that didn't seem to change anything. the drawing tablet has pressure sensitivity, someone suggested to me that that may be causing issues, but i wouldn't know how to fix that.

nevermind, the issue has been resolved!! the device driver hadn't installed automatically when windows set up the device, so i had to install it manually. it works much better now.
