Clip Studio Paint 'Pen Pressure' not working after v2.0.1 update for some

Clip Studio Paint is a popular choice for many digital artists around the world. It is available for various platforms like Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Android, and more.

The application recently received the v2.0.1 update that brought some new features and a lot of improvements. However, just like most updates, this one also comes with some annoying bugs and issues.

One of them currently affects how pens interact with the software and various drawing tablets. It appears that the patch has broken the Pen Pressure feature for some.

Clip Studio Paint ‘Pen Pressure’ not working

Clip Studio Paint users are reporting (1,2,3,4) that Pen Pressure is not working or missing after the latest update. Going by reports, it seems that the issue currently affects Windows users.

According to reports, the software fails to detect or recognize the pressure put by the user. A Clip Studio Paint user has shared a video demonstrating this behavior.

Pen Pressure is an important feature that adjusts the thickness, opacity, and other properties of your strokes depending on how hard the pen is pressed against the screen or tablet.

This helps artists achieve a level of accuracy and detail that may not be possible otherwise. However, the feature being missing after the update makes it hard for users to create high-quality art pieces.

After the new update, my pen pressure is gone and i can’t even drag n drop my image to canvas.
this really mess please fix it dev.

Pen Pressure also enables other functions like dragging and dropping images into the canvas. Naturally, these functions are also affected after the patch.

Potential workaround

Some have suggested that rebooting the system or updating/reinstalling the drivers for the tablet can help resolve such bugs. Luckily, a similar workaround resolved the issue for an affected user.

If you’re facing such problems we recommend reinstalling the drawing tablet’s drivers and then restarting the PC for a potential fix.

If this doesn’t work, unfortunately, there’s not much that you can do at the moment. However, contacting the support team for help is always a good option.

We hope that Clip Studio Developers look into the matter and resolve the problem at the earliest. We’ll keep an eye on this matter and update this story to reflect important developments.
