Wacom Intuos 4 graphics tablet mouse not recognised as gaming input on Windows 8

Hi,

I'm trying to work out whose problem this is to solve - Unity's, Microsoft's, or mine.

I only use a Wacom Intuos 4 graphics tablet with a mouse to control my PC, but when I 'upgraded' to Windows 8 the tablet still works perfectly... Except for when I want to control a game in Unity.

For example:

On the standard first-person controller, I can look around using the tracker pad on my laptop or a standard USB mouse, but not using the mouse on the graphics tablet.

The graphics tablet mouse worked with Unity on Windows 7, and it works normally for usual applications (even in the Unity editor), it's only when I go to the game that the graphics tablet mouse does not work.

Any suggestions welcome (except for going back to Windows 7! ). Thanks!

(Apologies if this is a duplicate bug - the search bar on the forums is giving me a timeout error when I try to use it.)

 

Perhaps disable the ink properties from windows 8...

Was this ever reported as a bug and/or resolved?

 

my wacom intuos pro is not working with unity .os window 8.any solution??

 

Go into the tablet menu and change it to the mouse function. For my tablet (wacom intuos 5) it's in menu-pen properties-grip pen-mapping-mode. My tablet works with windows 8 but not unity...so I created a custom application (+ sign beside application bar) that uses the mouse function only in unity.
