Keyboard + Mouse discconecting issues!

[Alva]

I don't know if this game will ever be patched or bug fixed, but- please. ;o; At least give use keyboard & mouse users a fix.

I keep trying to play the game. But, right now it's just a hot mess, constant DC'ing of my mouse and keyboard make it a hassle more than anything!

Am I the only one having this issue?

(I don't own a controller aughhguhu! RIP! ;o; )

Having this issue too (mouse only). Really annoying because when the mouse reconnects the cursor is stuck in the middle of screen and it messes with the camera. The perspective changes and sometimes it becomes sensitive to the point where just touching the mouse sends it spinning wildly.

Having the same issue with keyboard only.

Ended up refunding the game as the problem progressed to the point of it was all it did. Shame too, I enjoyed the hour or so that it worked before deciding to be stupid.

Exact same problem. With the spinning, it affects the mouse in every program. I would exit okami and my mouse would still be glitched, unpluging didn't work so I end up having to restart my computer because the game somehow breaks my cursor outside the game.

My mouse just doesn't appear, which is a real problem because I can't move the game a bit higher on my screen. It's annoying and I hope this gets fixed.

I also have the same problem

[Soundofwaves]

Yup. Mouse OR keyboard not working at all on PC with okami.

Is there some fix coming up or should I go for refund? Anyone know?

There's still no fix as far as I know. For me my keyboard just completely stops responding anywhere from 30 minute intervals to 3 hour smooth play (before having an issue). And I mean a FULL crash of the keyboard -- nothing works. Not even outside of the game, if I can get out of it with mouse alone. I have to unplug my keyboard and plug it back in. And it's only this game that ever does it. My keyboard never has problems and I've had this computer (and keyboard) for ages...Until I play this game. Then it starts disconnecting on occasion (thankfully not nearly as commonly as some other people have it apparently, but still irritating because it's happened during two major boss fights already, effectively getting me killed and losing progress in the game). The only problems I've ever had with mouse, fortunately, is just a bit of input lag and sometimes the game just doesn't register mouse clicks at all. But as long as I click several times instead of just once, it's not THAT noticeable, since I can generally still chain attacks if I'm fast enough. I'm more concerned about my keyboard issues.
Also, to note, I paused the game to check in on this in Shift+Tab and my keyboard crashed while I was typing this. I think that's a good example of this issue. Nothing is really happening in-game but, since it's open at all, it still crashed.

Alright! I found a fix for this from somone on Reddit. It's a bit of a pain to do every time I play the game, but it works. I have had absolutely NO input lag or disconnect issues when doing this thus far, so it should work for you as well.
Basically, you have to go to your device manager before you play the game and disable all of the HID compliant options under "Human Interface Devices". This disables some extra input from your keyboard, in a sense, and lets the game reset its input from your keyboard/mouse easier. You just have to disable all of them one by one before you play the game and make sure to re-enable them all -- again, one by one -- when you're done playing; the annoying part is having to do that every time you play, but hey, it works and capcom hasn't given us any help in nearly 2 months with this game-breaking issue as far as I've seen, so I'll take what I can get.

Oh this is actually works. THX man

Disabling the HID-compliant devices worked for me too. Not even mods could help. It isn't a problem for just kb+m users; I started with a controller and it disconnected as well.

[Richarad]

Well I’m glad it’s working for everyone. I’ll have to go find the person’s name on Reddit to credit them properly. Have fun, everyone!

[PseudoEpic]

do I have do disable every device under Human Interface Devices, or just the ones the start with "HID Compliant?"

[Shax]

HID Compliant only. If you turn off others like USB Input Device you might disable your mouse or keyboard.

[kofolamaster]

you can automate disabling HID devices using devcon.exe (or devcon64.exe if disabling fails)

create BAT file with following contents:


@echo off
rem devcon can be downloaded https://superuser.com/questions/1002950/quick-method-to-install-devcon-exe
for /f " tokens=1 usebackq delims=: " %%i in (`devcon64 listclass HIDClass ^| findstr /I compliant`) DO (
devcon64.exe disable "@%%i"
)
pause


Then create shortcut for this BAT file with "run as administrator" advanced options.

Before running try disabling all the HID compliant devices by manually, to check that your mouse/keyboard are not in the same group.
