Intermittent unresponsive mouse clicks

[NetKrouse]

I've noticed an issue where mouse clicks seem to intermittently stop registering in game. Camera still moves just fine, but attempts to fire my weapon or enter adrenaline just... stop working. Usually it'll fix itself after a second or two, but man does it suck when this happens mid-combat. I've noticed it seems to happen more frequently when dropping out of adrenaline, or after a melee attack, but not always.

For what it's worth, I know it's not the mouse doing this. Issue is limited to this game. Relevant hardware bits - 13900K, 32GB DDR5 7400, RTX4090 w/ 536.67 drivers.

Thank you for the feedback, we will look into this to see what is causing this odd unresponsive mouse issue.

I am also having this issue. Was on that first boss just circle strafing unable to shoot lol.

Also have this issue, constantly happens throughout combat that I just can't shoot for some reason. It seems better when I switch to fullscreen from windowed.

I would also like to put my 2 cents in that I am also having this mouse issue. same as above.

I am on a 4090, 7800x3d, and on 537.13, if any of that helps. was playing on borderless. Does it detect the mouse as being out of the bounds of the game window and not accept clicks, maybe? Just an idea.

Thanks

Are you playing in borderless fullscreen?

If so it's a side effect of the UE4 engine, occurs in pretty much any first person game made in it. It can be patched out but that very rarely happens, the only example I know of is Forgive Me Father where it was patched shortly before coming out of early access.

The only workaround I know of is to play in fullscreen mode.

I was indeed playing in borderless fullscreen. I'll switch over to actual fullscreen, and report back if that makes a difference.

@Thomas the Gank Engine - Good call! That change seems to have fixed the issue. Just ran through an entire level without a hitch after switching to fullscreen.

@Colossus - Sounds like the culprit has been identified. Might be worth reaching out to the devs from Forgive Me Father to learn what code needs to be adjusted. I'm sure they'd be willing to help a fellow dev. Or maybe there's a well-published fix floating around on the internet; UE4 is a pretty popular engine after all.

Nice. Problem solved!

Deadlink also recently had this problem on release (where you had to play full screen to not drop mouse inputs) but they were able to patch it

Well at least make Fullscreen a default and add a popup message if user is about to change it, because currently this issue is breaking the experience
