Brushes cause crash in vesion 11 xpgd

The brushtool needs an overhaul as it keeps crashing the program completely everytime.

I did also log this at the error system at Xara

-set enable pressure recording
-try to select the pressure stroke option(which doesn't seem to be available)

With the new brushes the program crashes immediately,
even with the default brush the program crashes immediately.


Win8.1/64bit
wacom graphire 4 tablet

uninstalled drivers->cleaned registry->reinstalled drivers->restarted system->run as admin

Pressure recording and tablet does work in version 10 DesignerPro

Hi hans

see also here: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...774#post532774

sent to the developers as a crash report

Yes I did see your post Steve,
There is more going on your thread about multiple issues

Posted this into a seperate thread for future reference

Hans

sure hans - and your symptoms a little different

could be a win8 [api?] issue, I have just tested it on win7 home and it so far works as it should - no pressure issues or crash - just off to report in other thread...

Might be the case,thought to put it here so it can be resolved in the upcoming pro version
But again,pressure and tablet use works in version 10

Hans

Tablet pressure doesn't work for me in v10, XP&GD. Wonder why. I haven't tried it in v11 yet.

I too am using Windows 7 and appears to be working OK. Using Wacom Intuos

Not registering pressure sensitivity when using the shape tool and crashes using the new brush tool with the pressure sensitivity activated on a Toshiba Encore 2 Write with Windows 8.1. This has a Wacom Active S Pen I do believe.

Seems to be working okay on Windows 7 with Wacom Intuos 4.

So I think it narrows down to the running a 32 bit program on a 64 bit machine
At least that's what i deduce from the latest responses,right

Hans

well it runs ok on my 64bit windows 7 ...

It didn't say in your post,Steve
So that's a dead end as well :(

Hans

you're right - guess I must have put that in the crash report [I know I put it somewhere :)]

some combination of win8 and graphics? - my win 8 in an HP laptop with intel HD graphics; the win 7 on the other hand is self built with asus board and nvidia graphics

Did some further testing.

Pressure control works with default brushes and the old style brushes(pre version 11)

Also the ShapePainterTool doesn't paint with pressurerecording on but it does work with the pressure recording off.

So to the dev team;there are the places to look for
