The beta messed with my keyboard, mouse, speakers, and Bluetooth headset

[Merulanon]

As the title suggests.
Is there any reason for this? Faulty drivers? Faulty hardware? Or was it just the beta? I really want to play this game and it runs well on my PC other than shutting off my headset (+ my headset had crackly audio), my keyboard, and my mouse and speakers.
It's strange because literally no other game, however demanding, has done this to my PC before and I've never experienced it on my less powerful PCs in the past.
If worse comes to worst, I'll just play it on PS5 but I'd genuinely prefer it on PC.
Any ideas as to what I can do to prevent this from happening if I do decide to buy the game on PC?
Thanks :)

Are you using logitech stuff ? Logitech hardware tends to do that sometimes

[Merulanon]

Yeah, Logitech mouse, speakers, and keyboard. Has Logitech ever offered a solution to this issue? Or am I just out of luck?
Should probably also mention my headset is a RIG-800 Pro, going off memory.

Imma look it up let me a second, ive heard about it more than once, theres probably a fix. Could you describe precisely what happens to your keyboard and mouse, a simple disconnect or maybe they dont recognize inputs ?

[Merulanon]

Thank you so much La D, means a lot. If you can figure this out for me I'll give you a profile award :)

Basically what happens is that they completely disconnect. the RGB shuts off, the inputs stop working, just like it completely stops after I play for a little while. it's not instantaneous but it happens eventually into my session.

Soooo there that if they just disconnect every few minutes

Unplug absolutely everything else from your USB ports: external drives, webcams, other mice, other keyboards, phone charger, network adapter, USB hubs, monitor, etc. until you have only the keyboard and mouse plugged into the computer.

Then verify that the keyboard and mouse are working correctly with no disconnects. If they are still failing, then try just one or the other (I know this is a PITA) to isolate the bad device.

If you get disconnects with each device even when only 1 is connected, you probably have a problem with your motherboard or maybe drivers and you'll need to contact the manufacturer or your work help-desk.

Once you prove that the keyboard and mouse are working, you can start adding back devices one by one until you find the problematic device -- replace it.

It is also possible that you have a bad USB hub, so try using a different hub if you can. "

or maybe

Sounds like too much power draw causing the hub to drop out an then recovers itself.

Move the power play onto a separate hub. USB 2.0 minimum,USB 3 recommend, QC or PD preferred. Should fix the issue 👍🏻" (He was talking about a logitech usb hub but that would make sense for the built in usb ports i guess)


Okay so thats kinda the same issue, does it happen on other performance heavy games ?

[Merulanon]

Never had the issue on any other game, even super demanding ones. I guess it might be power draw issues. do you know if there's any way to try it out before I bite the bullet and buy the game then install and play?
sorry I'm a complete noob at PC stuff normally LOL

I dont really think so, maybe if the bug happens in the benchmark that is on the store page available to download, you could try that out in there. And if it doesnt happen it probably means its fixed. You could also wait for release and get the game using other means just to be sure you'll be able to play, if you know what i mean lel. Ive done that before.


Usually MH games also have Demos available on release day, but idk about this one.

[Merulanon]

Yeah, it never seemed to happen on the benchmark, only the beta. I'll probably try it out anyway. I have a feeling it's possibly power draw.
Thank you :) I'll give you a profile award now!

No problems !
Dont quote me on that but theres a good chance it was driver issues with the beta or smtn like that and now you're good.

Ive heard about the Logitech software having compatibility issues with some games too, thats maybe what happened.

Logitech is the worse one, I bought a $300 headset and it worked for only one day. There’s no way the game would effect your hardware

Thing is, look it up, theres documented instances of games messing up with Logitech hardware lmao.
Its just that bad, my friend keeps buying it and always had issues. I even had to micro solder in his mouse kek
Its pretty highend stuff, but the normie type. (Made by 13y olds in the red star country probably so theres that.)

I use a 15usd noname mouse, an old blueswitch keyboard that isnt even available on maketplaces anymore and sum noname storebought headset.
Ive had them for years. Before i even got my new computer.
