Beeping sound and unplayable mouse movement in the latest patch

[Kurt Russell]

Hi, after downloading the latest patch, I can't play the game due to a weird input bug where the mouse moves erratically (or refuses to move) while the headphones emit some sort of beeping sound. At first, I thought it was my joystick, but after unplugging it, I still got the same result (and it's not my keyboard pressing too many keys at once either).
Any ideas? Thanks.

I thought I had discovered a fix, but attempting to utilize it again proved ineffective.

Here is a list of things I've tried that do and do not cause the issue:

Things that cause the problem:

• Pressing Mouse 1 when Mouse 1 is bound to Fire
  
• Pressing Mouse 1 when Mouse 1 is bound to Alt. Weapon Mode
  
• Pressing Mouse 1 when Mouse 1 is bound to Jump
  
• Pressing Mouse 1 when Mouse 1 is bound to -None-
  
• Pressing Mouse 2 when Mouse 2 is bound to Fire
  
• Pressing Mouse 2 when Mouse 2 is bound to Alt. Weapon Mode
  
• Pressing Mouse 2 when Mouse 2 is bound to Jump
  
• Pressing Mouse 2 when Mouse 2 is bound to -None-
  
• Pressing Mouse 2 when Mouse 2 is bound to SECRET DEBUG MENU!
  
• Pressing Mouse 4 when Mouse 4 is bound to Fire
  
• Pressing Mouse 5 when Mouse 5 is bound to Alt. Weapon Mode
  
• Using the mouse wheel when the mouse wheel is bound to Cycle Weapons

Things that do NOT cause the problem:

• Pressing Left Ctrl when Left Ctrl is bound to Fire
  
• Pressing Left Alt when Left Alt is bound to Alt. Weapon Mode
  
• Pressing Space when Space is bound to Jump
  
• Pressing C when C is bound to Crouch
  
• Using Mouse-look

From this data, I surmise that the problem is within the game code that deals with button input from the mouse.

Same with me. Horizontal mouse movement is lagging and its horrible (vertical is ok), mouse buttons don’t work and beeping sound. After the update the same thing happens in the first released level.
I’m running on Win10pro, I7 6700k, 1070 (417.71 drivers) 16 gigs DDR4 RAM.

Same issue - had it in staging as well. The only thing that alleviates it for me is setting frame offset to "1". But then there is horrendous input lag.

I experienced this twice last night too - and the issue persisted outside of the game as well. I could Alt-tab to other open windows and move the mouse around the screen but I couldn't click on anything.

I had to kill the game using keyboard via the Task Manager and even then the mouse control did not return to normal until a few minutes later.

It did this the first two times that I launched the game, but then it didn't on my third attempt.

I don't know if I had any of the beeping sound issues though. My speakers where turned off while I was playing around with this last night.

Not saying that this is in any way related, but I did notice that many of the .ogg audio files in maiden.grp have been replaced with .wav files. Could this possibly be a factor in any of this?

Enabling Vsync fixes the issue for me. Sadly, it also introduces some weird input lag on the mouse.

I have input lag AND beeping. gonna toggle V-Sync to see if it helps

UPDATE: I swiched from OpenGL to Software in the launcher. Seems to have fixed to issue. Can anybody else verify this?

I've just tried this, and while I got the beeping sound at the beginning (when I was clicking away the start screens), it doesn't happen ingame, and I can turn off Vsync with no problems.

That alone likely is not a complete fix. I was playing in Software mode last night when I experienced this issue, and I was still in Software mode when the issue seemingly stopped (on my third attempt to play the new version). In fact, I hadn't made any settings changes at all between the time when it was not working and when it did begin to work.

same issue for me =(

I had "beeping" problem on beta but it got fixed on stagging. Now it's back. BUT I fixed it by finding the ion maiden config in my user/roaming folder and setting a high custom FPS limit. Now I can enjoy the game it was meant to be played.

I just checked with some users on our Discord and found that the following steps resolved the mouse lag and beeping noises:

1. Open the console with [Shift]+[KeyAboveTab] (usually ~/`)
2. Execute the command

r_maxfps 0

Please let us know if there are any further issues. You may wish to look through your graphics driver's control panel to see what options are available for avoiding screen tearing with an uncapped framerate.

How and how did this happen? Why did uncap frame rate solve this? It was solved in a previous "beta beta" and now is presentment!? Why?
