Procaster disabling Tablet pen pressure

[One5860]

I just got a new tablet (Genius mousepen 8x6) and when I launch the procaster and try to use Pressure in Photoshop, it doesn't work. But when I exit procaster, it works fine again. Is there a fix or a setting to allow pen pressure to work in procaster?

One5860,

At this time not all USB devices are supported by Procaster. This could explain the issue you are experiencing. I'll forward your model and the behavior to our Procaster development team.

Incase you need it here is the driver name

-Driver: WTSrv.exe {version 10.30.2009.1 [latest version]}

-Client: WTClient.exe {version 10.30.2009.1 [latest version]}

Could you also post the Photoshop version, your windows version and the method you're using for capturing (desktop or game mode).

We've tested on the following scenarios:
-Windows XP Sp3
-Windows 7 64 bits

with procaster 20.1.0 and it keeps the pressure sensitivity in photoshop.

Sorry for the really late response. The windows version is 'Windows 7 Ultimate SP1' with all latest updates. Photoshop version is CS3 10.0.

I am having the issue of once i open the procaster it works fine but when i minimize it I lose all pressure sensitivity. If i close and open ps i get it back but if i open the procaster after opening photoshop again i lose it. I am using a monoprice tablet model mp1060-ha60 10x6 on windows 7 64. this is very frustraring. Please help!

cricketts801,

Not all USB devices function properly with Procaster. If you haven't already, I would suggest upgrading to the latest version of Procaster available at the following URL: http://www.livestream.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7604

i already tried updating to latest update of client
20.2.69p and it still wont work
im running in a

Windows 7 home premium
service pack 1
4gb ram
Intel core i5-2310
2.90GHz 2.9GHz
OS 64bits

photoshop version is
cs3 extended 10.0

and using a Genius tablet
mouse pen 8x6

the pen pressure was disabled in the versions of procaster that i have had
which were 20.2.0 or something like that
and the new one 20.2.69p

normally running in 1366x768 screen resolution

is there is anything else u need to know to help me.. us.. solve this.. Let me know

ALSO
i found a way through it but its still not comfortable to work like this
opening photoshop after i press the GO live button will enable the pen pressure
but once i click in any other place outside the photoshop layout
task bar, procaster chat windows, any other window at all
immediately disables the pen pressure again

i have been dealing with this problem for a while and its already in my nerves
try and link us to some drivers or something
i already tried looking for the driver named in the beginning of this thread but cant find anything
and i know for sure it wont work since it goes with certain client version
or at least thats what i assume

Hope u guys solve this problem soon...
Thanks in advance

ps: i apologize as of english isnt my main languaje but i try my best.

Xaenyth,

We have not tested with a Genius tablet specifically, but we can confirm that pressure on 20.2.69P works in Photoshop when using a Wacom tablet. I'll forward your tablet and behavior to our Procaster team.
