Performance stuttering causing keyboard input loss

[DarthSatoris]

I am experiencing some issues regarding the game's performance, particularly because the occasional performance stutter causes the game to stop registering input from the keyboard and mouse.

This becomes rather annoying during intense fights or when moving from one location to the next. My marine just stops randomly, and I have to stop pressing the keys and then re-press them before input is registering once again.

I am wondering if anyone has found a surefire solution to this?

And whether or not Saber Interactive is aware of this issue?

I have tried a few solutions from various google searches (like verifying game cache, changing settings in Windows Power Plan settings, shutting down Discord, etc. etc.), but I'm afraid it hasn't helped.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues, and have you found a solution?

I figured out how to solve the problem (99% sure)

For me, and everyone else with this issue, it's (99% sure) because we have a device that is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. You can test this by going into the Device Manager on Windows and if you see it constantly refreshing (at the same rate you experience the stutters in game) then this is your problem.

Download "Devmanview" (a freeware tool that's meant to work as an alternate to the Device Manager), run as admin, then sort device by "Connect Time." You'll find out which device is constantly connecting and disconnecting. For me, it was a USB hub that had a device plugged into it, which wasn't an actual USB device but was just providing power to my DAC, routed through a KVM and plugged into the USB-C port on my motherboard which was constantly connecting and disconnecting. After re-routing my peripherals and disconnecting the KVM from my PC, the constant connects and disconnects ceased.

For other people experiencing this problem, it may be another device like a bluetooth driver or something else.

However, this does not absolve Saber and EAC of blame. There is no reason EAC needs to be monitoring device connects and disconnects; it's a totally ancient method of anti-cheat. Reminds me of the Halo Infinite devs removing red reticle on PC to stop cheaters from using it for auto firing scripts. Completely antiquated and only breaks things without helping.

this was the fix for me- it was my webcam

I tried that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ program to see what was disconnecting... ITS LITERALLY EVERYTHING. All my bluetooth ♥♥♥♥ is going haywire. This ♥♥♥♥ randomly started today too, literally cant play and cant refund. Big win with EAC.

figured it out, i had my Xbox wireless controller adapter plugged in and the other day noticed that in the menus it kept referencing the controller (Press A to continue instead of ENTER sorta thing) but i didnt have stuttering or my keybaord disconnecting at this point in time so i didnt worry about it, today, had the same stuttering issue you explained, put two and two together and disconnected the adapter... no more issues, works mint

I think this actually worked for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I was honestly about to file a warranty claim on my PC. Now I just gotta figure out how to get FF XVI to work. That and Space Marine 2 just randomly started having input stutter last night after working fine since launch. Just these 2 though, nothing else seems to have this issue.

ive got nothing disconnecting but im experiencing the same issue

It’s not the disconnects that cause stutters, it’s when something reconnects. Sort devmanview by connect time, not disconnect time. If you have evenly paced stutters that interrupt movement, it’s a device that is constantly reconnecting to your PC that could be USB, software, or a Bluetooth device. So far there is nothing else identified that is causing the issue of movement interrupting routine and evenly paced stutters.

In the intro tutorial part I cannot get past because my space button doesn’t work I tried everything it wouldn’t allow me to progress I don’t know what to do

To add to this, you should see every entry of "Connect Time" for every device. If you don't, you need to run it as administrator.

in my case now it's two network drives connected in my Windows, they are polled every minute and keyboard loss happens every minute too. but there were no stutters when I played the game the first time

I can help with the input for WASD stopping.
We could fix it by disabling USB-Power saving in Windows.

1. Hit the WINDOWS key
2. Type "Power Options"
3. click the "Change plan settings" link for the plan you're currently using. (If you change the settings on the power plan that isn't active, this won't work)
4. click on "Change advanced power settings"
5. scroll down to "USB settings"
6. Expand "USB selective suspend setting"
7. Select "Disabled" from the drop-down menu
8. Click "Apply"

That should resolve the stuttering and input loss.
Let me know if it worked for you :)

This worked for my mouse stopping randomly. Thank you :)

This was so helpful. Using The "devmanview" to find out what kept DC'ing was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nice. apparently my problem was that i had a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ printer that kept connecting and disconnecting every other minute and it was making my game very unhappy

This helped me to find a network device (my TV) that kept disconnecting and reconnecting which was directly causing the stutter/peripheral disconnect due to EAC (unfortunately, disabling/uninstalling it didn't fix the problem so I had to take the TV off the network completely). Doing this, disabling USB selective suspend, disabling the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" per device under the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" in Device Manager, and finally, setting "Processor idle demote threshold" and "Processor idle promote threshold" to 100 (hidden power options that can be shown using PowerSettingsExplorer) solved every kind of stuttering I'd been experiencing in all scenarios on my PC, something that had been driving me insane. Ted's tip was the final piece, so thank you!
