Keyboard behaves unexpectedly while POE2 is running

whenever the game runs, my keyboard behaves erratically. Some inputs are recognised, some are not, sometimes it jams on the last keystroke as if i were holding that key down.

It was so bad that i couldn't even create a character and type in a name. In the end i had to resort to using the on-screen keyboard. (On-screen keyboard works perfectly btw). while in-game, the same problem persisted and made it completely unplayable.

Worse yet, the effect isn't limited to within the game - while the game is running, even if minimized, it still affects the hardware keyboard input on every other program currently running.

Having the same issue as well on my device. Currently running an AMD 6900XT GPU with an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor CPU. What's weird about this bug is that, viewing the Task Manager, CPU, GPU, and Disk usage are not increasing at all, and I've tried disabling all frame-related settings, including Multithreading, but the issue persists.

same here,3rd ability on my keyboard or as it is default keybind E stopped working,afterwards i rebinded it to number 3 and it now stopped working also,gonna try and run repair on game files (btw typing this with on screen keyboard just to push E and 3

Hello, I've noticed the same issue just today. Had no problem until now.
- I've tried two different keyboard and switching keybinding without any success.
- Tried to swap usb port (from 2.0 to 3.0 usb), no changes.
- Tried to untick option : "auto input method detection", no changes.
- Tried to verify the game's files with steam, no changes.
- Tried a few different setup with support gems (I'm playing Titan for what it's worth) no changes.
- Tried to completely reinstall the game, no changes.
- Tried to change server, no changes.
- Tried to delete every overlay app possible, no changes.

I'm running the game on :

- I7 8700k
- Nvidia 3070 TI
- 32GB RAM
- Window 10

Drivers are up to date.
I've played around 55 hours before noticing the bug. Seems to happen more often while mapping.

Update : I've switched my build from sunder to earthshatter and noticed less problem. It's still occurs here and there but it's manageable.

Update 2 : No problem since last patch (0.1.0d)

Got the same issue with my system, both the mouse and keyboard keeps flickering on and off

I have same issues. Can't play right now.

I have the same issue, but from what I can see it is only an issue when I'm in combat. Out of combat, the keys work correctly. This issue makes the game almost unplayable.

My setup:
Windows 11 Pro
SteelSeries Apex Pro keyboard
Intel Core i7 13700 K CPU

I have this same problem. I believe it has to do something with the windows usb drivers for usb hubs. I have this problem only when Poe2 is running. My keyboard is connected via usb hub.

I have the same issue, also it freeze the mouse movement for a second, I don't know how many death i had for this issue...

I tried to close all the unnecessary apps, update every driver, change server... but the issue persist.

I'm playing via steam on a win 10, ryzen 5700, rx 5700 xt, keyb and mouse are usb.

Someone found a fix for this?

I might have found a solution for this issue. Try connecting your keyboard and mouse to a USB 3.0 port instead of a USB 2.0 port. This problem is likely caused by the high polling rate of gaming keyboards, and it seems that PoE2 isn't fully optimized to handle it on slower USB connections.
