Controls messed up

[Ghrane]

Hello Everyone,

This is a problem that got solved for different people, but not for me so far.
The problem is that once I have joined a server or created a local one and try to select a kit to spawn in, my mouse and keyboard decide to stop working.

Things I have tried so far:

- Reinstalling PR.
- Profile reset via the launcher.
- Building a new controls.con after deleting the other one (backed it up).
- Reset control to default ingame menu. The Control page had keys binded to funtions/abilities and was NOT empty.
- Using a controls.con from someone in the forums here.
- PR.exe Administator permissions.
- PR.exe Win7 & 8(.1) compatibility mode.

None of these seems to be working for me.
A different thing that came to mind is that I changed of anti-virus software, from Norton (that never complained about PR) to Windows Defender (Didn't complain about it either).
But since both didn't complain, I don't think this would be the problem.

I gotta Battle to play soon with PDI, so I really want this working again so If you have any ideas, please share them!

Do you have any other games or programs running at the same time?

I remember some weird problem like this happening to everyone who had some game open a while ago.

[Ghrane]

No, just running Project Reality.
It's so weird because It ran just fine the day before.
I remember doing an Nvidia gpu driver update as well, but could that mess stuff up?

edit: I am not able to edit the Controls in the controls menu, when I want to change something, the game just freezes and after +/- 20 sec it continue's without problem, but the keys didn't change.

[PLODDITHANLEY]

Can you check the event viewer to see what that says about the freeze.

In w10 type event into search.

[Ghrane]

It is not really a freeze, Windows runs in the background just fine, but PR freezes.

I found this, not sure if that is useful.

Edit: When I try to go to the folder it says, it doesn't exist, not to be found.
Edit 2: I tried to join create and join a local server on a second account, this account has the same problems.

[Ghrane]

Update;

I did multiple re installations of PR on different drives (HDD's & SSD's) and even
tried to go for an older version of PR, 1.3.5, but it appears the controls move over to that version
of PR as well.

I have no clue what to do or to try right now


Edit: I did an Win10 reset which fixed it, obviously.

[LiamBai]

Run in windowed mode and see if you get any error messages I guess.

Edit: Oh right. Yeah, that'd fix it.

But the sad part is, we will never know what the exact problem was. I think it has to be doing with Windows 10 going corrupt or something, because I am pretty sure it was not PR or the accounts/controls problem. Tried quite some things.

[Ghrane]

Important info on the problem, I did an GPU Driver update today for my GTX 970 gpu, the newest driver released on March 1 (version 362.00) is causing this bug.
I can't confirm this 100%, I am downloading the previous version to make sure it is causing the problem.

[PLODDITHANLEY]

I've got a GTX970 I just leave it on 352.82 seems to work fine on the games I play.

"If it ain't broke don't try to fixit"

"If it ain't broke don't try to fixit"

I'd keep it like that if i were you. I had to reset win 10 again, after that I updated my gpu to the third newest version for the 970, and installed PR, it is working fine know.
I do must add that i have only installed the driver and the Hd audio driver, not the 3d stuff and physicX or something. It seems to work fine at the moment.
I think the bug got caused by the latest version, maybe devs can look into this?

[Ghrane]

I am back to the problem again.
I had me pc exactly the same, I didn't touch PR for 1 day, and it is broken again now.
A thing I notice, is that when I alt-tab out of the game to close it, my mouse goes in slow-motion mode for a little time. Could this has to do with this?
I really don't wanne reset Win10 again, I rather install Win7 again.

[SergeantJP]

I all of a sudden have the same problem... no idea whats causing it. I do not want to reset Win 10 if it didn't work for you. I've tried all graphic drivers of late that worked when I played last week and nothing. Tried different profiles, reinstalling on different drives, etc.

Check your updates see what came in when the problem started?

I have win10 and apart from flags vanishing I've got no problems - maybe list and identify your running processes and compare to mine and the other guy with the same problems, we must also watch your folder options for my dox.

Interesting enough if you have any kind of controller plugged into your computer, unplug it. I unplugged my xbox one controller which I use for other games and never had a problem with PR and now it works...we'll see what tomorrow brings because you never know with this game lol
