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?

For reference, my machine has the following hardware:

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X ~3.9 GHz
RAM: 32 GB RAM ~2133 MHz
GPU: Radeon 6800 XT (AMD driver version 24.8.1)
Install drive: 2 TB m.2 NVMe drive
Motherboard: ASUS Prime X470-Pro motherboard
OS: Windows 10, 64 bit (build 19045.4780)

Happens to me too. High priority CPU for the game executable does not alleviate this at all.

I have a 7800x3d and 4090. It’s an EAC issue.

Are you sure it's Easy Anti Cheat causing the hitching and stuttering? I've used EAC in other games like Apex Legends and For Honor, and I haven't experienced any of these issues there.

Here's some of the things I have tried:

I have tried using DDU to completely clear and then reinstall the graphics drivers.
I have tried disabling all background "apps" in Windows.
I have tried disabling Selective USB deactivation in the power plan settings.
I have tried setting Windows 10 into "gaming mode" (Settings > Gaming > Gaming Mode).
I have tried shutting off Discord.
I have tried setting all in-game options to low.
I have tried this Windows Registry edit I found on Nexus Mods[www.nexusmods.com] which allows for the Space Marine 2 .exe file to run at higher priority.

And so far it hasn't helped. It's gotten less stuttery, but the stuttering persists.

Limit ingame FPS to 30 and see if that helps.

30 frames per second?

No. Just no. I might come off as a pretentious buffoon when saying this, but 30 frames is for console plebs. At most I'll try and limit it to 60, anything below is straight up unacceptable. But I'll give frame limiting a shot and see if it works.

Yeah, it sucks but it helped with the stuttering for me and made the game playable again.

I have the same problem, I don't think it's related to your PC performance, it's coming from how the game / EAC handles your keyboard / mouse / anything with an USB cable.

The only solution I found is just having one controller and everything else disconnected (Mic works fine, but I'm not allowed to have a mouse / keyboard or headset).

It's a pain in the ass, but at least I can play without the constant stuttering and input loss until the game is patched.

I am afraid to say it has NOT solved my issue. :(

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

While I also have an Xbox controller adapter, I don't have it plugged in, and haven't had it plugged in the entire time I've played Space Marine 2. so I doubt it's that particular issue for me. :(

There must be some other USB device we have that is causing the problem
Unfortunately I need all of mine, and I won't be unplugging them. If I can't get it resolved soon I will be asking for a refund.

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 :)

I do have random freezes sometimes. Its random. I basically get to watch a frozen screen for a few seconds.
