[2.0.14] High Keyboard Repeat Rate causes multiplayer stutter

Post by prettybry »

Setting a high keyboard repeat rate - e.g., the rate at which a key is automatically re-entered when held - causes stutter when playing multiplayer. To reproduce:
- Set a high repeat rate for your keyboard (with a low repeat delay) in your OS settings
- Connect to a multiplayer server
- Hold the shoot button (spacebar)

You should see a significant hitch. Not repro-able in single player.

Perhaps above a certain rate, keypresses should be deduped by the client?

Repro’d on:
- Bazzite Linux (Fedora Kinoite Variant), Fedora 40 Base

Thanks for the report however I am not able to reproduce any issues specific to keyboard repeat rate. Are you sure this isn't a simple matter of "shooting in multiplayer disables latency hiding"?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
