Does your mouse and keyboard cause games to lag?
Does your mouse and keyboard cause games to lag?
When trying to play some games, my mouse or keyboard sends bad signals and the game drops to just one frame per second for about two seconds. Controller inputs don't make this problem happen. This only affects three specific games: Retrowave, KOTOR 2, and HROT. I first saw this when I started up Retrowave on June 11. I quit playing quickly and tried starting up KOTOR 2 to check if the same thing happened. Aside from HROT, no other game I've tried has this problem, and I've played many of them. I ran all these games through Steam. Here is what I tried: I swapped window modes (Fullscreen, Windowed, Borderless) with no luck. I adjusted the FPS cap and Vsync settings in those games too. I tried using Borderless Gaming from Steam, but it didn't fix anything either. I turned off all my monitors except the one I use for gaming (which is 144hz on a 1440p display). I updated my graphics driver by doing a clean install. EDITED: I uninstalled the old graphics driver and installed the new one from a few months ago. I also took out all the games and put them on different drives. At this point, I'm really not sure what else to try. Specs include: GPU is an NVIDIA RTX 3060TI, CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5600X, motherboard is an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (with Wi-Fi), and there are 32 GB of RAM on Windows 10. Let me know if you have any more info I should provide.
I see that you've tried updating your graphics card, but did you try going back to an older version before the problem started? You may need to do this yourself. Maybe that's where I should begin if we aren't talking about something else that could be causing things.
Have you made an extra file to save your computer? In the search box on your taskbar, type "Create a restore point" and hit enter. On the System Protection tab under System Properties, click Create. Type something short for what it's about, then hit Create > OK. If you had a backup before things went wrong, use that one to go back to normal when everything breaks again.
Do you have any special programs like keyboard or mouse software running? Maybe something like a keylogger is hiding somewhere and stealing your keystrokes. Either of these might explain why you're having trouble.
I am telling you about the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) fTPM that was making my computer slow and stuttery. If you don't like updating your BIOS right now here is a quick fix for AMD computers: Also, what kind of Mouse and Keyboard do you have? Mouse: Keyboard: Source: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-410 Workaround: To fix this fast as soon as possible if your fTPM is needed for Trusted Platform Module support you can use a hardware TPM (dTPM) device instead. These dTPM modules use non-volatile memory that replaces the old interaction between TPM and SPIROM. COMPATIBILITY: Please check with your computer or motherboard maker to see if your setup allows add-in dTPM devices before trying this fix. WARNING: If you change from fTPM to dTPM on an active system it is very important to turn off any encryption systems that use the TPM (like BitLocker Drive Encryption) and back up all your important data first. You need full admin rights, or a special IT administrator approval if the computer has managed access. For more info on moving ownership of the new TPM device please visit this Microsoft webpage .
