[old report] PvZ GW2 - Keyboard and Mouse are not responding

Gorath, ok that could be my problem as i have an odd 745m :/ but the game does run. just this keyboard mouse thing not working.

rhendyr, i will try this when i try to play again later today. and respond again if it worked 🙂 

Overall slowness that results in the mouse and keyboard response rate too slow may not have just the video system to blame.  There is a relatively small difference for the 745m when it is compared to the minimum, GT 640 (desktop).  Have you provided a CPU ID and Turbo Speed applicable to it yet?

Gorath, so is it the speed of my gpu then. so i would just have to wait a while for it to catch up and recognize keyboard/mouse?

Rhendyr, i think that actually worked. 🙂 thanks. i'll keep trying it each time i play and if it doesn't work i'll let you know. THANK YOU very much 🙂

Yeah, I have to do this EVERY time I start the game. I'm not sure the technical reasons behind it, but there seems to be some kind of failure between the games coding and video cards when dual cards are detected (most laptops).

Some would blame it on video drivers or hardware and such, but it doesn't happen on other games that have higher minimum requirements to run, which would lead me to believe it's actually a failing on the games part rather than our drivers/hardware.

I tried your "trick" for the first time and it worked. After I closed the game and it didn't work anymore. I tried this trick a couple times and yet it doesn't work. It's so strange that I got it to work 1 single time and after that I didn't work anymore, kinda sad ☹️

@SilentKaliSmoker

We see this kind of error when the game is trying to outrun the system, and simply cannot recognize the signals it's getting from the input hardware.  It's most common when the video device is an Intel IGP chip, not a real video card.  That's not your case (and your video is really close to equivalent to the minimum), so I was making an educated guess that CPU speed might be involved in some cases. 

@Gorath_the_Elder

ahhh ok. 🙂 

well my CPU is an intel i7-4500U 4th gen. 

@Rhendyr

your trick keeps working for me i think. :D thank you so much. weird. like you said i just open properties, and all the sudden it all works in game fine. 🙂 i'll let you know if it changes.
