I will open a ticket with SteelSeries, explaining the issue and what I did. Here's where you'll find the previous release:
STEELSERIES GG INSTALL STUCK UPDATE
It was rather easy I uninstalled SteelSeries Engine after syncing my config to the cloud, rebooted, installed the previous release but before I launched SteelSeries Engine for the first time, I made sure to disable the SteelSeries Update service to prevent another automatic update.Īnd that's it, after I launched the game, the shift key was working just as expected. I fixed the issue : I downgraded SteelSeries Engine from the new version that was released today (20.0), to the previous 19.2. Edit2: Found the solution: downgrade SteelSeries GG/Engine from 20.0 to 19.2, the update they released on June 21st is problematic with WoWS. Validate all drivers, Done (I had one minor update for Intel WIFI+bluetooth card) Someone might have a fix/technical details to share we never know! I still have a lot of things to try (currently running a check and repair).īut I'm sharing my problem, nonetheless. I'm trying to isolate/fix the problem right now. I have a SteelSeries Apex Pro mechanical keyboard, the driver is up to date. No change occurred on the computer since yesterday last windows updates and nvidia geforce driver update were installed last week.
When I searched for other reports of this issue, all I could find is some very old instance of the bug: Input lag on shift key - General Game Discussion - World of Warships official forum But it correctly match the issue I have now. And the bug can be circumvented by assigned an alternate key to the same function (I assigned a button on my mouse). It's not the keyboard only WoWS does that. Starting today, I need to maintain the shift key pressed for a full second for the key press to register. I used to press the shift to key to switch to the binocular view quite frequently, especially in gunboats/light cruisers.
