THE PLATFORM: Windows 11 NOMAD APP VERSION: 2.9.21 Here’s a comparison between the stable version I use (2.9.8) and the latest version (2.9.21). I hope you can see it in the video. My impression is that there’s a delayed stroke, which is more noticeable with the Crease brush, but also with other brushes like Clay. It’s annoying because it doesn’t initiate strokes smoothly and delicately like the version I used previously. In this case, I’m using a Huion tablet, and I haven’t had this problem before. ver 2.9.8 2.9.21 ---

I’ll try to improve that. ---

I have the same problem as well. I reported it in Discord earlier. It was tested in version 2.9.22. I use Windows 10 and a Wacom tablet. This problem occurs while using a pen both in Windows Ink and WinTab. However, when using the mouse, this initial jump is still present, but it is significantly reduced in size. The stroke does not begin right where the pen contacts the surface. After moving the pen, a short delay occurs until the stroke starts. Then, it makes an immediate jump and draws a short line. As compared to v2.9.8, this initial jump seems to take about twice as long as before. In v2.9.8, it was possible to press the pen slightly and draw a dot by moving it a little, whereas in the new version, the same movement draws a short line.

> [@MayaVertexMan](#): > > The stroke does not begin right where the pen contacts the surface. After moving the pen, a short delay occurs until the stroke starts. There is a spacing delay but that’s intended, but first stroke point is exactly on the first contact point though. The delay is important for finger camera navigation and long press disambiguation. > [@MayaVertexMan](#): > > In v2.9.8, it was possible to press the pen slightly and draw a dot by moving it a little, whereas in the new version, the same movement draws a short line. The line is just a styling thing and it makes sense because it acts exactly like the stroke spacing line. And stroke spacing should never be at 0%, it tends to kill performance. The core of the issue is the length of the initial first stroke, it depends on the input style (finger/mouse/pencil) but also screen content scale / pixel ratio thingy. So it’s tricky to get right everywhere on all devices. I can adjust it a bit.
