Hello everyone! I could really use some help!
:[b]Quick Disclaimer[/b]: [i]I am physically disabled and incapable of using a traditional mouse + keyboard set up. Please don't tell me what I "should" be using to play the game, just help me if you can, thank you! :)[/i]
As the disclaimer said I require the use of a Wacom Intuous Pen tablet as a stand in for a traditional Mouse. It has worked wonders in literally every game I have ever played, as these tablets have a built in "Mouse" mode that makes it behave [i][b]exactly[/b][/i] like a traditional one. Every game up to this point clearly reads the mouse moving and responds accordingly, (as in makes your mouse move or controls your view). But for some reason Destiny 2 just [b][i]doesn't[/i][/b]. :(
It will allow me to do the buttons for left and right click on the pen itself, so I can aim down sights / fire my weapon, but for some reason moving the pen ("mouse") does not move the cameras view to let me look around. What is weirder still is that the mouse works as per expected in all of the in game menus, but once I load into a map I just can't look around. Even stranger is that if I turn on the tablets "pen" mode, (which normally makes FPS games spin rapidly 360 degrees forever), it actually works! [b][i]BUT[/i][/b] the caveat being it only allows me a range of about 80 degrees, so I can never turn around, or look fully up or down, functionally useless except for in the limited range of whatever view you happen to be looking when you load into a map. To explain that mode and why i can't use it, its like if your mouse was locked to your desk, so you could never lift it and move it and place it back down. So once you ran out of room to the left or right you just could never turn any further than that because you can't lift your mouse and quickly place it down and keep turning. it is why the "Mouse" mode I require is so important, with it I can lift my pen from my tablet and place it back down to recenter it accordingly, behaving exactly as your mouse does.
I know this is an incredibly odd topic and probably one very few will have experience with. But if anyone could offer me help that would be amazing. Why won't it register the mouses movements and turn that in to in-game camera movement? I really love Destiny 2 and I just want to play it, I don't know why this just isn't working. It feels like the game is just very poorly optimized for non-traditional gamers. In ways that every other game seems to have. And it saddens me because I'm sure this type of stuff limits a lot of disabled gamers who would otherwise love to play and enjoy this awesome game, but are restricted to unorthodox ways to play which just fundamentally don't work here even if they do in other games. :(
If anyone knows why this is happening, please let me know. Maybe I should contact Bungie Support about it? Anyhow, Thank you all so very much and I wish you all the best! Have a great day!

This was posted over two years ago, and located this thread since I had the same issue, so I'm sure you figured out that it is Wacom that is the issue. I purchased a wacom tablet recently and it did the same thing so I bought another brand of tablet and it worked fine.
