Question

Input lag / delayed stroke start in Fresco (Windows)

On Windows 11 I’m getting severe input lag in Adobe Fresco:

  • delay before strokes appear

  • When stroke starts to appear there is a straight line from the initial pen position on the tablet to the new stroke

  • short strokes often don’t start

  • fast gestures lag more than slow ones

This affects all brushes, including vector brushes.

Same hardware works normally in Krita and Photoshop.

Setup:

  • Windows 11

  • Huion tablet

  • Windows Ink enabled

This worked fine previously on the same system.

Is anyone else seeing this in Fresco on Windows?

    I have this exact same problem. I’m using a Huion Kamvas 24 pro.

    I tried everything I found but nothing changes this behavior. The only thing that eliminates this lag is deactivating windows ink, but it removes the pen pressure, so it’s not a solution.

    I submitted a ticket to Huion, will see if I get some help.

    Don’t know what your settings look like on your device, but on my Surface Pro 8, ‘Use your handwriting to enter text’ and ‘Let me use my pen as a mouse when it is available’ both need to be turned on in Pen & Windows Ink settings or else I get that exact problem.

    Are there any Fresco users out there that use Windows? If so could you please let me know whether or not you experience this problem?

    For clarity: this also happens with vector brushes, so not pressure-related
