Substance painter tablet issue

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue where my Huion tablet’s pen pressure is not working in Substance Painter, and I’ve tried several steps to fix it without success. Here’s what I’ve attempted so far:

  1. Enabled and Disabled Windows Ink:

    • Toggled Windows Ink on and off in the Huion tablet driver settings.
    • Restarted Substance Painter after each change.
  2. Updated Drivers:

    • Installed the latest Huion drivers from their official site.
    • Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers to ensure no corruption.
  3. Tested in Different Versions of Substance Painter:

    • Tried Substance Painter 8.2.0 and older versions (including 2021 and 2020 releases).
    • The issue persists across all versions.
    •  
  4. Confirmed Pen Pressure Works in Other Apps:

    • Pen pressure works perfectly in Photoshop and ZBrush, so the issue seems isolated to Substance Painter.

System Details:

  • Substance Painter Version: 8.2.0 and older versions
  • Tablet Model: Huion (H1161)
  • OS: Windows 11 (latest updates installed)

    Question:

    Has anyone else experienced this problem with Huion tablets and Substance Painter? I’ve tried multiple solutions but can’t seem to fix it.

    I feel like this issue might be more widespread, so I’m hoping someone has found a workaround or a definitive solution. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you in advance!

I have been having this exact issue, I have a Huion kamvas 22 and a Huion inspiroy ink- have tried to get the pen pressure to work in Substance with both of them with no success. Sorry I haven't come with an answer, but hopefully someone will be able to help us!
