[Bug] All key inputs on keyboard are delayed and last for longer than they need/should

20 votes

When I press any key on the keyboard it's either okay or lasts super long and doesn't stop if I let off. There have been several times when I just don't touch the keyboard but my character moves all over the place.

Ya same for me I have run in to several people with this same issue and tried other games to see if it was my keyboard however it wasn't.

I was told to comment here to be emailed for more information since I cannot upload dxdiag.txt here.

Also it seems to be a lag spike, as when it happens, everyone freezes, then teleports, sometimes resulting in instant death with no way of reacting to it.

This does not happen with any other game, just this one, and I have gigabit internet so bandwith is no issue.

"Having some really bad input lag with keyboard. Starting and stopping hang for 5-10 seconds. VERY long time." Also my settings are not saving for full screen game play.

I am also experiencing this. Fresh install and first time playing. seems random - even in the tutorial, I was seeing my character continue walking after I released the input. Not seeing this in any other software.

I'm also experiencing this issue. Some Reddit posts say that anti-virus programs are causing the issue. I tried shutting off my anti-virus program (Webroot) and the input delay was gone. Shutting off the anti-virus program every time I want to play the game isn't convenient or safe. I'm not sure if this is the main reason that people are experiencing input delay, but it's still worth looking into.
Strangely enough, When I use my PS4 Controller, there is no input lag even when my anti-virus is on.
