dcx4610 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Here's a new issue for me. I think it's iCue related but perhaps it's the mouse. Recently, I've been experiencing a random issue where if I launch any game or something like MAME, I get a black screen but I can still see my cursor. After about 1 minute, the game loads and there are no problems after. On a fresh boot, there are no issues. This seems to start happening after the system has been idle or has been up awhile. On a whim, I decided to disconnect and reconnect my Corsair Sabre mouse. After, games started launching instantly again with no black screen or delay. A few days later, it started happening again. I decided to try reconnect the mouse again and sure enough, everything worked perfectly again. I have no issues with my mouse otherwise other than I have noticed that iCue will randomly not detect it on a fresh reboot but this is rare. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled iCue and moved my mouse to a USB 2.0 slot instead of a 3.0. Unfortunately, it didn't fix it and it just happened again. Has anyone had this happen and is there any fix? I'm guessing it's yet another iCue bug. I love Corsair hardware but I have never had so much trouble out of somewhere in all of my years of PC use. Just non-stop random problems with every version. It's so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcx4610 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Another update - I got the black screen again and immediately unplugged my mouse. Sure enough, the game loaded immediately. It's extremely bizarre to me that a mouse would have anything to do with games loading, black screens or anything of the such. I noticed that "Enable SDK" was in enabled in iCue along with plug-ins. Since that allows certain apps to communicate and control USB devices, I've unticked those and we'll see what happens. Hopefully it's that. If not, I'm out of ideas.

dcx4610 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 No luck with the SDK/plug-in disables. I'm still getting a black screen randomly when I launch games. The games still load but it takes 1-2 minutes for it to load. I'm baffled at why unplugging the mouse fixes the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled all mice and keyboard drivers, turned off all Power Management settings, did a clean install of iCue and my GPU drivers and it's still happening. The only thing I can think of is some super bizarre mouse hardware issue or a bug within iCue. I haven't tried an older version of iCue yet so I guess that's the next step. It only started recently.
