Have to completely disable my Corsair keyboard in order to launch the game

[Lasagna Magillicutty]

If i start the game normally i get a black screen for a very long time before the game loads, at which point each consecutive action also takes a very long time to load and the game itself is unplayable once i get the level loaded.

If i close iCUE, stop the corsair service, unplug my keyboard, then launch the game it will work fine, and if i plug my keyboard back in once it's loaded then i can play normally. however, due to the way my system is oriented, this is a massive pain to do every time i want to play the game. Has anybody come up with a better solution to this? is it corsair's problem or the developer?

Important to note: i also have a corsair mouse but it doesn't seem to affect the game at all.

I have to disconnect my corsair usb keyboard to get it working too.

Tried compatibility mode for win 7?

Same, at the beginning executing as administrator worked, now only unpluging every time there is a loadscreen.

Now I've set iCUE to not run at system startup and I don't have to do the unplug at all anymore. obviously not perfect because i can't use any features of my expensive keyboard, but because of my setup it's faster for me to reboot to play omd2 than it is to unplug and replug my keyboard.

Maybe writing a program that closes the keyboards feature app, and another that starts it?
Should be doable with a batch file.

Unfortunately closing the app to run the game doesn't work, something to do with the service. If icue has been started at all during the session then i have to unplug the keyboard to start the game. if the program hasn't been run, then it's good to go. The interesting thing about this is that the corsair service still runs even if icue doesn't, but the game still works.

So the service runs automatically, but icue doesn't = the game works
service starts automatically, and icue starts automatically = have to close icue, stop the service, unplug keyboard to run omd2

Thanks for the tip.

I have a corsair but got fed up with frequent 500mb driver updates for the icue software, so I uninstalled icue and just use it as a regular kb.

How did they manage half a gig for the drivers though?
