Logitech software destroys FPS, can someone confirm this please!!!

[*D4rKsKy*]

Update : Small tip from our forum user S.t.a.l.k.e.r : It should be noted that there is currently a bug (Either in the game or in the software) that can cut your FPS by more than 50% and GPU usage by the same if you are running Logitech Gaming Software (For Keyboards like the G19, G15 and other Logitech devices). Disable the LCore.exe process before running the game.

I just saw this @ guru3d the problem is i cant test it out yet because the game is not out yet here in europe, so professor phew please look @ this!!!

Or anyone else please try it out to disable the software and run the game again, and please post your results here on the steam forums.

Yes, that appears to be correct but just on certain hardware combinations. There is another thread about this topic, and I posted it at the logitech support forum. I've tried various logitech driver versions, but with no luck. I have a g15 keyboard, that does not suffer the issue. What graphics processor are you running? Here is the other thread. Btw, a workaround is to start the game without lcore running, then alt-tab out of the game, start lcore, and then alt-tab back into the game. The frame issue is not present afterwards. However you must do this each time you start the game.

Don't have this problem but I'm sure that one of the patches in the upcoming days will fix it

Can I ask what gpu u are using? To your point, something similar was occurring in the new tomb raider. I couldn't launch the game with d3d overrider running. Not everyone was expireancing this issue either. A game patch did indeed clear up the issue eventually.

Lcore.exe make the fps cap at 30.

Disable Lcore.exe before or while playing the game to fix the problem.
If you still need Lcore.exe just launch it again after you have killed it once and started the game.
Weird I know.

You're "sure". You must have a special line to the devs or something. Ask them if they are working on the near-sighted AI, please.

Doesn't do it for me. I get the same benchmark results with or without locre running. Again, I think it is a combo of lcore and specific hardware.

Definitely seems to be hardware config issue. I'm running same logitech software on two computers with MLL installed. Titan system is affected, 680 system is not - Weird. Course it could be any number of hardware items used by a modern pc?

I didn't say everyone got it. Most got it including me.
I just kill it start game and start Lcore after because I want G19 display for monitoring temps, fps, power etc.

I got 3 Logitech devices.
G19, G500, G35
