Poe 2 disables USB

Hi! I was trying to play POE 2, but it kept disabling my USBs. I ran the game before just fine before, and my laptop should be powerful enough to run it, so I have no clue whats happening. The game runs fine, but sometime during gameplay every USB device loses connection and unplugging and replugging it in does nothing. The only solution I’ve found is restarting my laptop, but it is only temporary.

My laptop specs are somewhere around;

Rtx 4060
I9 13000
64gb ram
2tb SSD

Hope you find an answer, but it's almost certainly not a Poe problem but a PC problem.

My guess would be something power related; the game probably taxes your hardware quite a bit at high settings and causes it to draw close to max power leading to issues, but that's purely a guess. You could try heavily reducing settings to see if a similar issue arises.

First, make sure your machine is up to date (Windows, drivers, bios, etc). Then, set performance mode on in power options and be sure that laptop is plugged in while gaming.

Your laptop is more likely than not overheating and affectign the USB controller chip. BEst I can advise.. enable VSync and set a low (like 60) fps limit so your computer do not generate so much heat.

All this pro advices which start with heating and performance issues, and no one asked if he is playing on stand-alone or via steam client which are different and if the problem rises when he starts the game or while playing the game...

Exactly like when you search a red stain on my pants after a pizza party and google tells you that you have cancer.

No one really told the guy that he can easily check his temperature via speedfan or whatever tool he wants and check it exactly when the problem happens to determine if the problem is from there...

No one asked what type of operating system he has, maybe he plays from whatever ubuntu virtual emulated windows or from windows vista which might generate conflicts

No one asked if he uses vulkan or nvidia ( yea I know, a video driver conflicting with other drivers, who would have thought) or if he tried going into bios and checking if he has USB selective power or whatever the damn option is...

The only person who actually thought of something was the dude that said to check power settings :)))
