Having the same problem here. Could not find out what it is.

But if I run the game as admin, then everything is smooth.

What could be the fundamental issue ? (so I dont always have to start as admin...)

the game doesn't really run without admin rights. that's a issue for most games.

There was an earlier post about the same problem, but no GGG staff answered it, it's also a pretty old issue too, dating back to when I first got it in October of 2015.It's also not a problem with the keyboard or mouse cause other games work just fine. The problem occurs with the installation of the latest Nvidia graphics drivers. SOLUTION revert back to Nvidia drivers that were released before October 2015, in my case it's driver version 355.98. Also I have no idea why that happens, I just started getting this bug one day and eventually traced it back to the driver update I did and reverting back fixed it.

I am having the same problem right now ,is there any other solution?

I'm getting this really badly at the moment too.

I posted about it but no-one from GGG replied :'(

When I'm in game sometimes my potion or map or inventory buttons do not work at all and i'll have to tap those button repeatedly for them to work. This isn't an internet issue because I have observed my Ping while playing the game and it stays around the 50-60 area which is pretty good, better than what I get when I play league of legends. Could Someone from GGG look into this please, I can't count the number of times I have died because I couldn't pop a couple of potions.

i have this problem too, pretty messed up that this has been a problem for almost 2 years now.

Having the same problem, and I'm here with a possible work around for people. The run as admin idea didn't work for me.

I've managed to temporarily fix this problem twice by messing with direct X settings. I was messing with everything looking for a fix, decided to try switching from direct X 9ex to direct X 11 beta. My comp didn't like that setting so I switched back, but after that my buttons problem was gone.

For reference, the exact process I used: Graphic options -> Switch to Direct X 11 beta -> Restart game -> Graphics options -> Switch back to Direct X 9ex -> Restart Game -> Problem gone for the next few times I open the game.

This has worked twice so far, but it's entirely possible that just having reset the game 5 times in the whole process is what fixes it.

My specs, if relevant:

Asus RoG laptop GL552VW-DH71
CPU: Intel i7-6700HQ 2.6 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
16 GB ram

Having same issue constantly now.

Previous league this happened once or twice when i was playing for more than 4 hours straight. I thought that was just my laptop overheating.

Now this problem occurs constantly. Running as admin dont fix the problem. Using steam version of PoE.

Mouse works just fine, but all keys on keyboard ingame require 1-8 pushes to actualy work.

Having same issue its really boring :( pls give us a solution by the way running as admin didnt fix it or changing diretx not either :(

I have this problem also, no one believe me its an issue. They are saying its keyboard ghosting but my keyboard i Steelseries really good one.

Fix this please. I died so many times because I had to push like 10 times to pot

I subscribes to these all up posts , the problem also occurs with me, i have to mad click on 1-5 keys for use a potions, it's annoying.
