Apple has announced 10.13 High Sierra will be released September 25th. Wacom is currently working on a new driver update to support the new operating system. The new Wacom driver will be ready by late October at the latest. Due to nature of the changes in High Sierra, the existing Wacom driver for 10.12 will not work. To continue to use your tablet uninterrupted, Wacom suggests not to upgrade to 10.13 until the new driver is released. Once released the driver update will appear in the Wacom Desktop Center and will be posted on the Wacom driver page. So, Mac users, don't update to Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra before Wacom releases the new driver in late October (and I would wait a bit to read user feedback reports on whether the new driver actually works!) Happily still using El Capitan here.

What I don't understand is how it has taken Wacom so long to come up with a compatible driver for 10.13 High Sierra, because the beta version of 10.13 has been available to developers for months now. Unless Apple made some last minute unexpected change to the final release version of 10.13, which is making Wacom have to completely rewrite the code for the drivers. It's frustrating that every Mac OS update seems to break something. I recall reading that High Sierra was intended as more as a 'bug fix and feature enhancement' minor update, not a major change. But who knows? At least Wacom gave some warning about the issue, even if it was only a few days before 10.13 was officially released.
Come on Wacom what's going on, I CAN'T WORK!! My pen keeps freezing when clicking! And other problems!
I've tried reverting to older drivers and doesn't do anything:( anyone got around with this?? How do i add a new contact in skype for business on a mac. I've tried my Intuos 4 and Intuos 5 with diferent pens and it keeps happening!! The only time it works fine is when NO drivers are instaled, but I can't work in Mouse Mode as you shall know. EDIT: I tried everything everyone said, nothing worked, I reverted back to El Capitan and it's GREAT again!!
About Wacom, they really need some strong competitors otherwise. It will be like this.
Same happening to me. I installed Sierra the other day after noticing a couple of weird things with the wacom in Yosemite I hadn't noticed before. I tried using my Intuos3 in Sierra and the same exact things happened. No ability to click, things freezing. I tried a bunch of things (trying new drivers, plug in, etc) and nothing worked. I decided to use time machine to revert back to Yosemite so it at least works for the most part. Currently looking for a replacement drawing tablet b/c my work depends on this.
Please update if you figure anything out! The problem is the majority of the Intuos line from intuos4 and up are lumped into the same driver. As your tablet ages you are using the latest driver tailored for the latest tablet and features. This is where my problems arise.
Currently the driver is so bad that Wacom has left an older stable driver up on the site while they sort out the mess the new one created. I've debated the older pro as well and it'll be the most stable given you win the OS, apps, and driver combination lottery. As wacoms focus is on the latest tablet you never know when your older tablet will become unusable. I everyone, I have been on support with wacom and they have asked me to downgrade my driver and keep bringing my attention to checking my hardware, which is insane as it was all fine in El Capitan Macbook pro before jumping into new macbook touch bar with Sierra.
Running 6.3.18-4 driver, fixed some things yet others still present. Slows my operating system down. Useless with adobe apps, slows down and glitchy selection of items still random, not as crazy. 10 years with Wacom this is the worst glitchy workflow I have ever experienced. There has always been issues yet this makes me reach for a mouse or trackpad and use it as a paper weight.
