    Hey just wanted to say I found the underlying issues causing my problems. Two things: Steam and Origin Overlays caused the framerate issues.

I just so happened to have a HOTAS flight stick setup plugged in, which caused my problems.

Along the same lines as where I think this thread is going, I have a wireless controller plugged into my computer to steer my character (as I am disabled) as well as a mouse and keyboard.  So this is what I did.

I'll test it again tomorrow, as it's time for bed.
