Pen pressure stopped working with recent Substance Painter update. (Huion Kamvas 22 plus)

As topic says, my pen pressure recently stopped working in Substance Painter (latest update).

I'm using a Huion Kamvas 22 plus and pen pressure works perfectly fine with both ZBrush and Photoshop.
I tried reinstalling both the Huion drivers and the Substance Painter application but that didn't solve it.

 

Additionally when trying to paint in Painter the program registers the stroke for a short moment then it freezes for a second then picks up where the pen is currently positioned, so it feels very laggy. It only does this when painting with the pen. No lag when painting with mouse

I had the same problem and huion model, it solved my problem to just install the new driver,

Yes, this works, at least the pen works without interruption, but the pressure still does not work.

Same issue here, reinstalled drivers multiple times...
Eventually it started working again but after a restart it's back to being broken.

Camvas pro 22 fwiw

I just found a way out. I exit huion driver when I open Substance Painter.
Pen Pressure etc work well but keymap and press key setting turn default
mode.

If it still doesn't work after that just follow this video, it's for Wacom, but it still has the same logic  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjZ0UDnv9Y&ab_channel=FlippedNormals

Bump!
Same problem with kamvas 24 pro 
Tablet version number: v15.5.1.390

My pressure sensitivity doesn't work whatsoever, and also there's a lag when I try to paint with my pen. 
(windows ink is anabled in the Huion drivers, Changed all the windows Windows Ink settings just like in the documentation page)... gotta say, I recently bought substance so I can't say it worked before...

I still havent been able to solve this, However, I did find a workaround that seems to do the trick for now.

What I did was unplugging my Pen display and uninstalling the drivers completely. Then I installed an older version of the driver for my pen display. The driver I installed was "HuionTablet_Win10_v14.8.153.1344"

Hope this helps.
