Heavy input lag - keyboard and mouse

[MSc.Painy.EE]

Sometimes strange things happen - you sitting in a car planning to drive somewhere and there's 5 seconds lag from your keyboard, and mouse working just fine! You press W, nothing happens, and then SUDDENLY you're ramming the truck on opposite lane.
Or sometimes my character DOESNT WANNA SHOOT! You aim and rotate your camera just fine, but when you click LMB nothing happens! More clicks are leading to strange BIP BIP BIP BIP BIP sound. The only thing to fix is to press Esc, wait 5s for it to recognise input and then Esc again.
Or sometimes my character WANNA SHOOT ALL THE PEOPLE! PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW!!! You had 500 ammo - and it's gone!

This happens both in single and multiplayer games.

It's all on my notebook, keyboard is default onboard, mouse is wireless a4tech g10-810h, also tried a couple of wired ones.

And yeah, RGSC launcher doesnt like discrete videocards, so we need to disable and enable them in Device Manager after start.

I've had the exact same issue! Driving for missions is EXTREMELY annoying because I'll be driving down a street, do a slight adjustment and the next thing I know, my car is slamming into a building and the wheels are locked in that position.

I'm on PC, using an Alienware USB keyboard, mouse is a wired one too.

Same

V-SYNC enabled?

[Core_Underscore]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I googled the issue and it doesn't show anything!

[Core_Underscore]

BCgame, yes I have V-Sync enabled

[The Gr8>]

Turn off V-Sync

[Get Rad]

I have V-Sync turned off and I get the same problem.

I thought I was the only one with this issue lol. I've messed with every combination of settings and nothing has fixed it. Using a gamepad seemed to stop the input lag but it causes frames to drop. So it seems there is no winning here. I hope this can be fixed.

Dealing with same problem, Rockstar needs to find a solution for it.

Same here, I've also messed with all of my settings and all the supposed fixes for lag/input issues. However, when it happens to me I get huge fps drop(running somewhere between 6-15), it lasts for about 20-30 seconds, then I go back to my normal 60 fps. It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying when I'm trying to get away from cops or cover my driver in mp!

PS: This happens to me every 1-5 minutes constantly. Not only when driving, but always.

I think the main issue is, that the FPS is linked to the mouse acceleration, so that you may get strange mouse behaivor, if the the frames are not constant.

[DragonElderX9]

For me, it's just the keyboard and mouse clicks. Everything will be lagging, but I can still move my mouse and look around just fine in the middle of the whole fiasco, lol.

I had this issue with GTA IV, and after days and days of searching online, I never found a fix. Eventually by just messing around, I found windows event logger, and it was messing up the game for some reason. I had to disable windows event logger.

To turn it off, just go to your start bar, type msconfig and press enter. Go to the services tab and scroll through until you find windows event logger. You can also turn off anything else you don't need or aren't using here.

moving from fullscreen to windowed with border help hugely, at first i wasnt able to do anything and it was frustrating as heck and i regretted buying it, but now i shoot people in the face o.o, so set to windowed you will get use to it, but input lag goes away because it uses so much cpu and cannot register mouse
