Bug description

I am having a problem, with osu!lazer. My tablet is not working like it should. osu!lazer does not even recognize my tablet as a tablet.

Hardware:

• Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro Medium

• Pen: Gen 3 Pro Pen

• Driver: Latest Wacom driver

• I am using the Windows operating system. The version of Windows is not really important, for now. If you need to know that too I can find that out for you.

Behavior:

• When I use osu!stable the tablet works right and the cursor moves really smoothly and it is very responsive.

• In osu!lazer, there are no tablet-specific input options (tablet smoothing, tablet detection, etc.).

• The cursor does not feel right. It is, like using a mouse. There is a delay. The cursor also feels like it is floating across the screen.

• The frames per second is stable it is 200 frames per second so this does not seem to be a problem with the performance of the frames, per second.

Additional notes:

• The older tablets actually work fine with OpenTabletDriver when you use it in osu!lazer.

• The OpenTabletDriver does not work with this tablet model. I have tried the OpenTabletDriver. It does not work the way it should with the OpenTabletDriver on this tablet model.

• Windows Ink is disabled.

Expected behavior:

• Tablet should be detected as a tablet in osu!lazer, similar to osu!stable.

Unable to attach log files at the moment due to a system-wide clipboard / drag and drop issue on Windows. Will attach logs in a follow up comment once resolved.

The cursor does not feel right. It is, like using a mouse. There is a delay. The cursor also feels like it is floating across the screen.

This sounds like an issue with rendering , not input. Try switching to Open GL, and also ensure you're running the game fullscreen.

The OpenTabletDriver does not work with this tablet model. I have tried the OpenTabletDriver. It does not work the way it should with the OpenTabletDriver on this tablet model.

We literally use OpenTabletDriver for lazer's tablet support, so if it's not supported there, it won't work with the game integration.

Thanks for the response!
I’ll try switching to OpenGL and exclusive fullscreen and report back with results.
I’ll also attach logs once I’m able to resolve a Windows clipboard issue.

To make OpenTabletDriver work, it's usually recommended to uninstall Wacom drivers. If you want to keep Wacom drivers, another thing you can try is running osu! with SDL3, which has enhanced handling for Windows Ink.

To run osu! with SDL3, you'll need to set the environment variable OSU_SDL3 to value 1. Guide for setting an environment variable (see section "For Windows permanent environment variable in graphical mode"). After you've set the envvar, restart osu!. To check that SDL3 was correctly enabled, press Ctrl+F11 and look for (SDL3). Since this is using Windows Ink, you won't see your tablet as detected, but it should work as expected.
