Loss of controls in game- anyone else get that?

Currently I'm just sitting in Tiamat and watching the fight, cause my keyboard & mouse just stopped working very suddenly. Only in game. My only option is to exit the launcher and re-launch, and this isn't the first time this has happened. #d time in Tiamat, and happened twice during pvp as well. It's as if my controls ran out of batteries, but clearly they haven't since I have no problem anywhere else.

Really annoying :/

    I haven't had that but I have had my sound do that in game.

    I replaced my keyboard in an attempt to fix this very thing. No joy there. It is very random and strange when it happens. It is like the game kills the usb ports for a few seconds sometimes.

    Game can't turn off your USB ports, but your video card can - either by overheating or by drawing more power that your PS can supply. In cases like this, PC usually restarts or goes into BSOD, but sometimes there are strange effects like sounds goes off, USB ports go off, etc.

    I did not say that it was killing the ports. I said it felt like that was what was happening. Guess I should have described it a little differently.

    Depending upon how the game handles memory there is always the possibility of using memory not meant to be used and causing odd aberrations. The addressed an issue with a memory leak so I do consider this a possibility but as mentioned above there are other things that could lead to this. If you could confirm it was only in game then you could monitor your temp/ps and start to isolate issues (of course ps is always the hard one without a replacement to test with as it can cause every single possible bug that exists and until ruled out it is always suspect).

    Under display options set it to windowed maximized rather than full screen. Happens anytime I try to use full screen here too.
