Xp-Pen Deco 01 V2 crashes Photoshop and other apps

Hi,

 

Everytime I use my Xp-Pen Deco 01 V2 with Photoshop or any other Adobe app, the app starts to crash and the adobe loading cursor appears - I left it for even 30 minutes and it was still spinning. 

Why is this happening? How do I fix it?

Thank you

Marta

Hi,

I have experienced the same issue under Mac OS X Catalina with the latest versions of Photoshop (21.1+) and the latest Xp-Pen drivers (I am using a Deco-03 tablet). 

As a temporary fix, I have downgraded Photoshop to version 21.0 and I can use the brush again. According to MusicalJealousy, it seems that downgrading the Xp-Pen drivers also solves the problem. So it is not clear to me where does the problem come from...

Hi Marta,

 

We're sorry about the trouble while using the XP-Pen with Photoshop. Would you mind sharing the version of Photoshop you are using along with your computers operating system?

 

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers for the XP-Pen Deco to check if that helps? If not, please try re-installing the drivers to check if that helps. You can also check: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tablet-support-faq-photoshop.html

Nikunj,

 

I am having the exact same issue. I have a Xp-Pen Deco Mini 7. I have reinstalled the drivers and the tablet works fine with all other programs including Painter and ArtRage.

 

When I go into Photoshop 2020 and use the brush it will draw the first line, but then when I go to make a second line the spinning cursor starts and I can't do anything in Photoshop.

I am using Mac OS X Catalina with Photoshop 2020.
