What is the issue you’re having?
(might be a bug or just my issue) I want to use my drawing tablet (my 2nd screen) in graphics programs like Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. I make art that I use on a roleplay server, and I would like to be in character and use it. This went fine until recently, when suddenly FiveM “Hijacks” my cursor when I use the stylus of the tablet screen. It puts the cursor in the top right of my 1st screen and then flickers between where I’m holding it on the 2nd. This already happens in FiveM’s main menu before getting on the server. It also happens when I put the game on my 2nd screen. The mouse still goes to the top left of my 1st screen. This only happens with FiveM and not vanilla GTA or other games. It also used to work normally before with FiveM. I feel like it started in May or the beginning of June. I have tried many things to resolve it. I know it’s not the typical use case for FiveM, but I’d appreciate the help. I do not know if this is a bug or not.

What are you trying to do?
Use my drawing tablet display with stylus while on a FiveM server.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?
Reinstalled GTA and FiveM, reinstalled tablet drivers, tried different tablet cursor modes (WinTab and Windows Ink). Reinstalled my graphics software (even though it doesn’t seem tied to the program, issue arises on plain desktop as well). Tried windowed mode, full-screen and windowed full-screen.

What did you do to get this issue?
Already explained.

What server did you get this issue on? Be specific and name some, ‘all of them’ by itself isn’t useful!
The issue already arises before going into a server. Just staying on the FiveM start screen already introduces the issue. If it’s of any relevance, I play on ONX.

Hi, what do you call “recently” ?

The last file I’m pretty sure I did while on FiveM was done 29 May. So it’s not suuuper recent. I only got to reinstall everything today, which didn’t fix anything.

Hmm @neptunium do you think it could be related to the parsec issue some users experienced or not ?

It is indeed related, the cfx team is aware and a fix should be out soon !
