Stuttering and Input issues

[ohmaigah]

Game frequently stutters for me when im playing co op and pvp, and on top of that my WASD controls just stop working randomly. I dont believe its a keyboard problem since others have had this issue and bought a new one entirely and they still had issues. Anyone else experiencing these issues? And how did you fix it if you did?

Exact same issues mate, the story mode absolutely flawless 100fps + no stutters etc, but PVP and co op stutters a lot for me some reason, biggest thing I’ve seen is maybe the EAC anti cheat is rubbish which wouldn’t surprise me, these exact issues have been linked to EAC in many games with this cancer anti cheat

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
