Mouse aim feels off and NVIDIA overlay is glitchy when using this program
washurpaws opened this issue · comments
I downloaded this again, and i'm unsure what is going on, but whenever I use AlwaysShadow there's a very noticeable mouse issue, where at some points the sensitivity kind of slows down, before speeding back up. Also, sometimes when I go to the settings overlay while in-game, my mouse barely works and the thing is glitching out like crazy. This only started happening once I started using this app, so I assume that's causing it. Tried an old version (that I know used to work perfectly without problems) and it happened there too... Maybe it's a bug in the game i'm playing (CoD MW2) or something else wrong with my system? I don't really know, but making this bug report in hopes that this can be fixed.
I'm on Windows 11 (worked fine on W10, could be that?) and have a 1070ti. Please tell me if there's any other info that I could give that could help solve this bug.
Sounds bizarre, I don't know what my program does that could possibly cause this. But we can try. For starters please refresh/exit AlwaysShadow then drop the log file located at %LOCALAPPDATA%/AlwaysShadow/output.log
Does this happen with other games, and does this happen when AlwaysShadow isn't running?
Hm, after doing some further testing (aka just disabling/enabling stuff and seeing what happens), it seems like it might just be the game bugging out when shadowplay is enabled? very strange, wonder if it's the new nvidia app or something.
Here's the latest run in the output log:

It's outputting a few errors, though considering this specific bug happens even with AlwaysShadow turned off I'm guessing it's unrelated to your program and just a general Shadowplay issue...
Oh no, this is the first time I'm hearing of this new nvidia app and it sounds like I will have work to do! Those logs do indicate that shadowplay no longer works exactly the way this program expects. For now I can't make promises about anything working correctly on the new nvidia app. Anyway it sounds like your issue is not even caused by this program. Not sure what else I can do for you.
yea, it's probably not your program causing it, so my bad for wasting your time, and thanks for creating a great app :D have a great day :)
