Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

I have been having trouble with input on keyboard, because when I press keys they do not work right away. I tested in other games and it works fine, so it’s not the keyboard. This only happens in GW2, and I also noticed that if I hold the right mouse button all the time the keys work just fine, so this is really wierd.

Ex: pressing ‘W’ doesn’t make me go forward I have to press many times, same goes for any other key that has an action in GW2.

My graphics card is a Geforce GTX 850M and when NVIDIA released the version 361.75 (January 27, 2016) for graphics card, I upgraded and started to see this happen right away. At the time I downgraded back to version 361.43 (December 21, 2015) and the problem went away.
The last few days I was having high memory usage, like 90%, even when pc was on idle state. So I upgraded my drivers to the version 362.00 (March 1, 2016) and memory went to 20%. I didn’t upgraded till now because I feared this problem would rise up again, and it did. Have been 3 months with 3 new NVIDIA drivers patches and the problem still is going on. So I would like to know if anyone is having this issue? Who’s supposed to fix this ANET or NVIDIA?

Because at the moment I have to choose between playing GW2 or having a decent memory usage that allows me to do stuff on the pc, since with 90% always going on I can’t do anything.

I’ve occasionally had problems where my w button wouldn’t make me go forward. Holding left and right mouse buttons won’t either. Still not sure what exactly makes it come back. Sometimes it seems to be a knockback or dodge roll will fix it. Other times I just alt tab out.

Similar issues with my mouse. Logitech g600. A random side buttons will stop working in game. I have to alt-tab out change configurations to a different set and back then it works right. Pretty frustrating when this happens in a pvp match. I’ve basically been playing with the mouse configuration software open so I can quickly alt tab and do it during a match. This happens much more often than the keyboard issue.

Could it be NVIDIA Geforce Shadowplay causing this? Others have found this issue to be the cause in the past.

If you aren’t using it can it still mess up your settings?

Faux Play I think what you have is a common bug many ppl have, not your fault. Usually ppl get stuck in place and can’t move and it seems to me it is this you are saying. Normally, a skill that moves you from place, such as, dash, knockback, dodge, doing /sit, etc.. fixes it.

On the topic now, in fact I did have shadowplay activated when this happened, so there’s a chance it is it. Though it’s still weird why it only affects GW2.

Related to the mouse, I switched from using the on board memory on the mouse to using the “automatic game detection” (settings on PC) and I haven’t had the same problems. However, there appear to be some game updates since then so I can’t confirm for sure.
