Hello,

For the past month or so now I've been experiencing what I would call input lag on some games. Basically, when i play either For Honor or Dragon Age Inquisition with my Xbox One Controller its fine for around 10-20 Minutes, then the frame rate starts degrading to . When switch to a KB/Mouse the game runs fine. Or alternatively, if i unplug the controller and plug it back in again it works again for another 20 minutes or so. It's not so bad on DAI, but on For Honor on multiplayer its resulted in me being launched from cliff on more than one occasion.

Funny thing is, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 runs fine with the controller with no lag, so i'm not sure if its something to do with those games?

Specs

I5 6600K (Overclocked)
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard BIOS Update (29/12/2016)
16gb Hyper X DDR4 2133 Ram
EVGA 750 W GQ Series ATX Modular Power Supply with Active PFC
MSI GTX 970 4G

I have tried the following;


  • Updating the Drivers through device manager
    Installing different drivers through device manager
    Updating the controller via Xbox Accessories
    Tried a different Xbox One Controller (same problem)
    Updated the BIOS on my motherboard
    Tried it with V-Sync on and off

Through a few google searches it seems a few people had this problem a while back.

Hopefully, some of you have had a similar issue and have solved the problem.

Cheers.
 
Solution
Figured it out.

Turns out a process called Razor Game Scanner Service was running in the background. Permanently disabled it, and everything's good now.

I'll leave this here just in case anyone else is having an issue.
