Anyone have any tips to fix this?

[GabeTC]

I posted this up on the bugs discussion a few days ago just wondering if anyone has had this and might know a workaround, ever since I installed the game if I use my keyboard and mouse I get insane FPS drops and stuttering but the second I use the gamepad boom stable FPS its so strange, I've verified the game files and installed it on my SSD even closed out every other program but nada.

Well you could start by listing what you have tried, and what system setup you have, but aside from that you could google search “mouse and keyboard cause fps drops” you may find the answer, I did and there are loads of findings

Also, you can make sure your not running any programs other that bare minimum and see if that clears the problems, if it does, introducing them back one by one and see if it returns.


Unplug the keyboard and use the mouse, see if you get the same FPs drops, reverse it ect ect..

As it is now you haven't given anybody much to go on to help you.

Once in a while, i will get lag when the Large spawns of ships spawn in. Most of the time changing zones like form t1 to t5 will fix it on the keyboard and mouse from a pc. I might be a mouse driver or keyboard driver issues if it's repeatable instantly from switching. I run razer synapse with the auto-updates on.

I did read up a few of those articles actually most of them seem to just have a general lag issue with the keyboard and mouse that does not pertain just to one game not to mention the gamepad has no issue, from what I gathered most of them try to run you through graphic driver issues or GPU/CPU load issues Spacebourne from what I've noticed uses less resources then most other games I've run. So far this is the only game I have encountered this issue in.

The full steps I've tried are as follows -

Did a clean boot only essential processes running.

Did a clean install of the graphics drivers.

Tried a different keyboard and mouse.

Verified game installation.

Reinstalled game.

Reset Windows (Keeping my programs)

This computer is quite new I just built it the other week but so far with all the AAA games I've tried this has been the only one to suffer from Keyboard and mouse FPS drops.

What are your system specs? What GPU/motherboard-- windows version, how many monitors ect..
The more information, the better the developer or someone here could help you.

Are you using vsync yes/no? Have you tried running windowed/Borderless/fullscreen?

Have you opened task manager and monitored if/what processes/background processes eat CPU/Memory when the FPS drop ect

usb keyboard and mouse or wired ? if so not saying its the prob but just another look at, using a usb dongle like blackweb that stablizes the usb voltage with multiple plugins, does seem to help with mine but then again is just an idea if usb, and if wired make sure its usb 3.0, should have better voltage stablization, of coarse going into task manager and check for any programs that are pulling more resources than they should.

I just bought the game and had a similar prob at just the tutorial during testing weapons fire at targets, was not controllable at targets, not able to focus on target with so much movement, after hitting esc then resume everything went back to normal, i did go back in and lowered the mouse sensitivity and has helped somewhat but sure is not the fix.

So the specs are -

GPU - EVGA RTX 2080Ti XC Ultra 11GB
CPU - Intel i7-9700KF
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3000Mhz
Motherboard - Asrock Z390M-ITX
OS - Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362

Monitor was 2 but now is just one (Cat happened) so its just one 1080p monitor at the moment but the results are the same as before.

Vsync yeah I always run it I did just try no Vsync and the other window types instead of full screen but same thing.

And in terms of processes hogging up power the only thing running is Spacebourne and its using up 37% GPU , 0.1% Disk , 10% CPU , and 15% RAM

And dwarf I use a Wired keyboard and mouse but the alternative keyboard I tried was wireless with a dongle both the wired and wireless produced the same end result.

since i have the same probs it not on your side, this is something that just bugs out now and then and i can get out of it by just deactivating the mode im in, i can hit esc or ctrl etc then straightens up. I did have a prob while mining where the asteroid depleted but it kept mining and wouldnt quit. Did just the same by hitting ctrl then it stopped. Think these are just minor bugs until he can fix them.

Finally fixed it it was my mouse polling rate. The polling rate was a flat 1000 tried 500 and it was still the same and the second I set the polling rate to 250hz the issue was totally gone. If anyone comes across this issue try turning down your mouse polling rate. Fun fact I had no idea polling rate and DPI were 2 different things XD

[Dwarf80]

thanx for the info, i didnt even know what polling rate was since i use a standard not adjustable cabled mouse. I do have win 10 dpi and mouse sensitivity software but never heard it that way, i did read this and helped explain it.... https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/7195-there-way-change-mouse-polling-rate.html
