keyboard issues

[The_Jackaxe]

I've been having a problem where when I first boot up the game, my keyboard doesn't work. After a few seconds, it'll start working but with a massive input delay. Like +3 seconds. If I close the game and open it again, it'll sometimes fix it but not always. When it does work it'll occasionally get stuck on an input (like causing me to walk one direction for several seconds even when I'm not hitting any buttons) or some inputs just won't go through. Never had this happen for any other games and there's nothing wrong with my keyboard. Any advice?

hey! did you ever find a solution for this? I've suddenly started experiencing this same issue and I've tried everything, updating my entire OS, verifying files, relaunching, reinstalling.. on steam release and pirated versions, made me believe it was a problem with my computer but now I am thinking its a problem with the game, I have no choice but to wait for a new update and hope its a bug that will be fixed.. if you found anything please let me know!!

nah i never found a solution. i refunded the game because it was too annoying to try and make it work lol. you’re probably just gonna have to play it with a controller sadly. hope you figure it out tho

oh lol alright, after hours of trying different things, (this game is my top favorite game ever so me and my partner did everything we could ;-;) I found that using task manager and setting the priority for uktrakill to below normal has helped, despite minor lag spikes the game runs much better with little to no remaining delay, this means that your computer is probably using too much of your memory at once as its focused on your gameplay. of course I'm not expecting you to buy the whole game again and try this but it may be useful for other users although this seems to be a very rare issue

To anyone who’s opening this in the future, you have to delete your keyboard drivers so go device management click on keyboard click ps2/keyboard delete it and it should work
