Do you have a corsair keyboard?

If so, once you launch it and you're waiting, unplug it and see if it loads up immediately (then plug it back in).

My Corsair is a piece of shit that's been nothing but problems on launching tons of games like this. Unplugging it and plugging back in is the fix.

No, just a 10 keyless Keychron or whatever, no additional software. That sucks though. Not even sure I installed my Razor software for the mouse. And I'd post on their support forums but it would just be "Have you reinstalled Windows?" Which I'm just not interested in doing right now.

You sure it isn't the USB port?

It's not. It's a common problem reported by a lot of people, and it happened to me across three machines on Windows 10 and Windows 11. When software does an input device check/HID check, it's either the keyboard itself, or iCUE takes a long-ass time actually returning something to the call, but it's intermittent and doesn't always happen. This has been in issue going on 3 years now.


"The only work around that she has figured out is to reach back and unplug her keyboard until her character is fully loaded in then plug it back in."


"To fix the keyboard I need to unplug the USB and plug it back in. The only fixes for a few minutes though. I have tried using every USB slot I have (2.0, 3.0, powered 3.0 USB hubs) and nothing changes."


"I closed steam and tried to load the game controller panel in Windows 10 - even the system simply polling the controller for that caused it to seize up...until I unplugged the keyboard of curiosity and desperation, and the game controller panel suddenly sprang to life. Ditto games that would freeze/lock up, unplugging the keyboard would resolve it instantly. If I re-plug the keyboard after the game launches it would sometimes work fine for a bit but eventually it would freeze up requiring me to unplug the keyboard."


"So the last 4 times that my system froze ( 3 times during gaming sessions, one time during music production work), I unplugged all 3 USB cables for the corsair mouse, keyboard, and mouse pad. A few seconds later, my system unlocked and became responsive again. I could then plug the Corsair items back in and everything would be back to normal."

Corsair K55 freezing and crashing when loading games

CUE 2.24.50.0. So in attempts to keep a very long story short, I recently purchased the K55 RGB for my best friend in celebration of her building her first PC and the computer booted with the keyboard without any issues. However, when she tries to run games such as Maple (via Steam) the game will...

NEW Keyboard keeps "Freezing"

I recently (received 1 week ago) bought a K95 RGB Platinum Keyboard on Amazon that was bundled with the MM800 RGB Polaris. At this time I also purchased a Scimitar Pro RGB Mouse. After only a couple of days with the new peripherals, the keyboard started to "freeze" as it seems to be called, espec...

Very frustrated with K55 keyboard right now...

I was gifted a Corsair K55 RGB keyboard and an M65 Pro mouse recently, and until very recently had no problems with them. In addition to the K55 and M65 Pro, I have an off-brand USB headset and receivers for my Steam/360 controllers hooked up (typically, one or the other). This setup hadn't prese...

iCue causing entire PC to freeze

Hi guys, I have browsed the forums to see if anyone else has posted this same issue, but I have not seen it yet. So I am hoping someone can shed some light on this. I have the K70 LUX RGB keybaord, the M65 Pro RGB mouse, and the MM800 RGB Polaris mouse pad that are being run with the iCue softwar...

ICue is a giant piece of shit, a huge resource hog, and the #1 reason I dumped all my Corsair shit (still use their PSUs). They make good products, but their software is total ass.

Truth, though honestly I'm finding this with more and more shit that requires software to function. I have a 5950X and I kept getting concerned that my NZXT cooler was defective, because it would get to 88-90c under load, which caused once or twice for the CPU to drop to safety voltages (which I posted in another thread). NZXT Cam said everything was just peachy. I ended up ditching the cooler and buying a really generic one that requires no software whatsoever to function, and my CPU has yet to break 75c with this new cooler. I gave my cooler to NZXT for warranty RMA and they sent it back saying there were zero issues with it they could find.

This all ties into my post here.

Fresh install of Windows 10, Steam, LE, graphics driver with nothing else really running and still crashing. Going to move it to the SSD instead of the game drive and see if that helps anything. Not sure if I should use the "Move" command in Steam or do another re-download in install. Will probably end up doing both.

*okay yeah moving to SSD launching and loading the game is like under a minute easy.

Man how is your SSD not your game drive? It’s the best gaming improvement.

I think from a while back when everything got moved over to my new build I never set it up to put the Steam library back on the SSD. Before I had everything running off a RAID SSD but when I moved it all in to the Fractal case I just left it alone and used 1 drive. Can’t really remember why. For a while I’ve been playing last Gen stuff and pixel stuff so it hasn’t really bothered me too much. Might try and keep one main game on there for now bc yeah, really drives home how much quicker it is.

In other news still crashing. Now testing with just one monitor. Every time it crashes the 2nd monitor goes out and doesn’t recover until I power cycle it. So we’ll see if just leaving it out helps anything. Maybe that port in the 980 is going bad or the monitor. We’ll see.

The auto bomber is fun, that’s what I’ve done up to about 70. Honestly think it’d be more fun sticking with Warpath and not switching or maybe finding a hybrid of the two. Now that I’ve started doing monos maybe I can learn how to respec and craft and play with builds

Also apparently EHG said there was a known issue with the Unity crashing I and a few others are experiencing and they’ll be looking in to it.

Grim Dawn is a fully polished game with excellent expansions. LE is still early access with certain classes still to even he introduced. Right now the only real comparison you can make is gameplay loop and graphics. To me they feel about the same in those respects.

Coming straight off a newbie to Grim Dawn and only about 100 hrs in it (which is a small fraction of actual time), Last Epoch seems accessible. I've enjoyed it. One major difference though is that the maps in LE aren't nearly as involved as GD. As Kaines mentions though it is still early access. Not sure if they have plans to breathe more life in to them later. GD it was fun finding hidden paths, quests, and events off the main route and the maps and biomes could be pretty large. LE so far hasn't felt near as close to GD in that respect. I'm looking forward to the crash fixes and seeing everything come together.
