Game Turns off my RGB fan lighting?

[SirShreds]

First time ever seeing something like this. I have a corsair case and fans and they are all hooked up using the Corsair Commander + lighting node. It turns off every light in my case other than the MOBO lighting

I've launched other games (after updating my iCUE drivers) and they do not do this. The fans still run properly...but I have serious concerns that this game is doing weird ♥♥♥♥...

Anyone else have this problem

Game has built in action light? Normally those would be keyboard or monitor, not PC case. Still, strange thing to include in a demo.

Ether that or the game somehow closes background apps...

Some games can use Corsair RGB - i.e. Metro Exodus.

Using OpenRGB, no problem.

[Berkzerker]

Same problem. There is no excuse for this to be a thing and not to have an option in the settings to turn it off. Very suspicious of what else it is messing with in the background.

Ixion take exclusive control of Icue, block Ixion.exe client in Icue Settings>Game and software.

I'm having the same problem which is irritating but what is more so is the fact that it turns off the lighting to my keyboard which I need to help me see the keys(poor eyesight)

Game hooked into my iCue and turned off all perifs. Didn't mess with my G13/Logitech software.

Hi SirShreds. Corsair integration is still in progress, this won't be an issue at full release.

[coth]

What kind of integration? And what about Logitech and OpenRGB?

Nothing turns me off a game more than the developer dropping by to *confirm* that they're trying to improve how much control the game has over your computer hardware. It might make me feel old but I don't care.

While I appreciate your reply, I'm not sure I was looking for "integration". I'm simply concerned as to why its got any (or lack of) forced integration in the first place. It just straight up turns off (or on when integrated) my lighting. I'd rather a game not control ANY of the hardware it doesn't need to.

Is there something I'm not understanding? From what I understand no other game requires "corsair integration" to play it, and if they do/do not have it...they don't ever just straight up turn off my hardware lighting...

Perhaps there should be an option to turn this "feature" on or off. Instead of forcing it on the user?

Agreed, at the very least there should be a notice somewhere on their forums or here to inform people that its controlling things that it arguably shouldnt be.

How do you do that?

Not seeing an option to block IXION in settings at all only turn SDK on or off for everything.

btw turning SDK off stops the game from killing the RGB however I end up with puky generic lighting instead of my chosen lighting controlled by wallpaper engine.

It is still an issue and still killing our KB lighting.

You may have to update your ICUE. There is an option in the Settings. I still had 3.xxx, its 4.29.203 currently. After I updated it was easy to block the game with it running.
