Summarize your bug Most times when playing any multiplayer game mode, keyboard inputs are delayed and then stick with an input before getting stuck on another input. For example if I quickly input left, right, then secondary weapon with a single press of each key, it will move me left for several seconds, then right for several seconds, then will equip the secondary weapon. During that whole time I can't override the inputs or even pause/quit the game. I searched for solutions online and updated different drivers, restarted the game, made sure all other apps/browsers were closed, disabled Origin overlay... yet the problem still persists in every game. Some games are worse than others but it will happen at least once in every game. This problem only arose after installing the Season 3 update, and no other game features this input lag or stuck inputs.

  • @Gavigator94 have the same issue... it's so severe that I float around the battlefield without even pressing a button... mouse input and the rest of the game is fine, though, so I can shoot at enemies like I'm attached to some sort of gunship... happened after Season 3 update...
  • I'm having this exact same issue, and also only since Season 3.

    It is not constant for me but rather is happening intermittently, however it happens enough to where the game is pretty much unplayable for me. I have noticed that when this is happening, my CPU utilization tends to be around 100%. Closing out of all other programs on my computer helps with CPU utilization a little bit, and seems to alleviate the issue some, but my CPU utilization should really be down around 50% or so, give or take (I believe that's about where it was pre-Season 3, while capturing gameplay simultaneously with OBS).
