[resolved] Tablet sense issue with 2 Monitors

I added a second monitor to my setup, (same specs) and my tablet feels like it got much higher with the sensitivity... (I use a Wacom CTL4100 paired with hawku drivers.) Is there a fix for this? Cause I would much rather not have to disable my monitor every time I want to play osu.
Thank you!

Check your Screen map settings in the driver and make sure it is mapped only to your main display with the "Set Area" option

I had it set to my Main display and still had issues.... the tablet area shows my normal area, but the tablet is only recognizing about 3/4 of the area making the sense very high. (Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, I can attach screenshots if necessary)

Yeah a screenshot could help. Do you only have this problem in osu or is it noticeable on your desktop too? If it's only in osu make sure that the "Map absolute raw input to the osu! window"-option is disabled

So the problem is only in osu which is strange.... And I had raw input to osu off. I'm even really sure how to explain the difference I feel from the 2. It's as if the osu sense is 'faster' yet the area doesnt really seem to have changed much. I have attached 2 screenshots below. Let me know if you need anything else!

Hmm, yeah your mapping settings looks fine, just remember to save them when trying different options.

If the raw input options are disabled then I'm not really sure what else could possibly interfere with the sensitivity, especially if it's only for osu.. Hopefully somebody else can help. What I am thinking though is that most likely only your horizontal sensitivity should have been affected if the issue is because of the second monitor, assuming both monitors have the same resolution.
If your area and aspect ratio stayed the same then I'm out of ideas except perhaps trying the portable version of the OTD driver(if you want you can just run it once without needing to install or uninstall anything) too see if it's a tablet driver related issue or not.

The area stays the same on the drivers but feels 'off'. I Tried running a portable and got nothing, so I assume I wont get very far with re-installing it...


(EDIT:)
Turns out it is a osu client issue, I had osu open before turning off one of my monitors and I needed to restart the game before the 'issue' with my sense went away. Does this change anything?

Could you take a screenshot of your osu input settings?

Do you also restart the tablet driver and double check the mapping when turning the monitor on and off?

1. Screenshot below!

2. Yes when connecting/disconnecting I restart my game as well as the drivers

ty for all ur help btw :)

Oh I though you had raw input off. Can you try disabling it and restarting the tablet driver by completely closing it instead of using the "Restart Driver" button?

When I tried to reproduce the issue I noticed that I got issues with increased horizontal sensitivity if I had either:
  1. not completely restarted the tablet driver after enabling the second monitor, in this case the problem was on both desktop and osu
  2. kept osu running while disabling the second monitor and doing a complete tablet driver restart, in this case the problem was only in osu and when raw input was on. The problem did not persist after restarting osu. Seems similiar to what you mentioned.

Hopefully you should be fine if you keep raw input off, avoiding disabling/enabling monitors while osu is running and always doing a complete restart of the tablet driver after disabling/enabling monitors.

If you wanna confirm that you have the same sensitivity with one or two monitors, I think you can just pick one of the grey dots on your tablet, put your pen and it and remember the corresponding position on your monitor. Then try the same but with both monitors enabled and a complete tablet driver restart(with mapping only to main monitor)

Great! Thank you so much, that did the trick! The only downside is that my input delay is higher (by about 0.2 - 0.6) but I can get used to that. Thank you for all your help!
