Drawing Tablet not working with Draw Tool.

Hello. To cut to the chase, my drawing tablet (Wacom Intuos Pro Pen and Touch Tablet, Medium, to be specific) is not cooperating with Roll20's free hand tool. My mouse works fine with the tool, but it refuses to recognize the tablet's pen strokes, though it does acknowledge dots on the free hand tool, and points chosen for the line tool. I have made maps using this tablet in the past, and would occasionally have the same issue. In these cases, the solution seemed to be to just wait until the program and the tablet started cooperating again. However, it's been over a week, and the problem is persisting. I have tried restarting the computer, and my drivers are up to date. If anyone has any solutions to this, I would appreciate it.

Which browser are you using, FF or Chrome? Have you tried using your intuos on either browser?  I have an older intuos that I've used with the drawing tool without issue.

To answer Vince's question, I am using Chrome. I have not yet tried it on Firefox. Edit: I have tried it with Firefox, and it seems to have the same issue.

So, I just tried using my intuos tablet and it's no longer working for me either. ;-(  I've tried in both FF and Chrome without luck.  I'll experiemnt to see if I can get it working and post back if I find a solution.

Go into your Wacom Tablet Properties > pen > mapping and uncheck "Use Windows Link"  You might want to use the add application option, add chrome and FF, and uncheck windows link only for chrome and FF since you'll want pressure sensitivity for other programs (ie photoshop, gimp, etc.)

Doesn't work for my wacom display tablet. I can click and make a dot but it won't make a line at all.

Not sure...  I'm using windows 10.1 with latest version of chrome 64-bit and the wacom v6.3.11-4 drivers.  I can draw polygon lines with my wacom+pen even without disabling windows ink, but in order to user the freehand tool or draw poly shapes, I have to disable windows ink from the wacom tablet properties. I have my front rocker switch set to right-click, tip is click, back rocker is double-click.
I've had this issue on a Surface Pro, and I was able to resolve it in Chrome by opening chrome://flags and changing the "Direct Manipulation Stylus" flag to "Disabled". Not sure if it will help with Wacom, but it's worth a shot.
