I have been using a Cintiq 22 for a couple of yers now and when I first got the unit the settings had an item to adjust the Tilt sensitivity of the Pro Pen 2. In the latest driver updates this item has disappeared. Have Wacom got rid of it or is it hiding somewhere else in the settings. I use Painter 2023 and found this tilt setting useful for when using Airbrushes and similar. When I have looked at guides and other help sections the Tilt setting is still shown in the pictures.The second image below is for the Pro Pen 3 but the settings that are shown are exactly how they were with my Pro Pen 2. The first image is the settings now in the new updates.

Thank you.

  Hi Paul Woollven and John Davis, 

  This was intentionally removed. 

  The purpose of the tilt sensitivity slider was to allow customers to make tilt work properly if the application did not properly interpret the tilt data it received (some applications were mis-calibrating the data and reacted oversensitive to the data they received).

  The affected applications have all resolved this issue a long time ago.

  Once that issue was resolved, we found that the default setting (where the actual pen angle get’s reported) is the most useful and intuitive setting, and applications that have tilt-sensitive brushes usually make them work best for that setting.

  We also received numerous complaints from customers who felt confused by this option, and did not understand it – and after calling in and learning about it, they usually just left it in the default setting.

  Looking at the combination of these points, we believe that removing the tilt sensitivity slider is overall an improvement for Wacom Center: It takes out some rarely used and not really needed complexity, and allows customers to focus on other workflow-enhancing features.

  If you are having issues with tilt, then try adjusting the settings in the App you are using to draw.
