Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems game freezing up- was working fine

my game is freezing up. It was working just fine on Friday and now it locks up. Sometimes it locks up before it gets to the menu and sometimes it locks up about 15 seconds into game. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I downloaded the patch. I have checked everything I can think of and I did not do anything to my computer since Friday except download skype.

i am using windows vista

processor: Intel core 2 duo cpu p8400 2.26 ghz 2.27 ghz
memory ram: 4 gb
system type 64 bit operating system
display adapter nvidia geforce 9800m gts

now it locked up and took be to the dreaded blue screen and gave me an error bugcode_usb_driver

I unplugged my wireless mouse and the issue seems to be fixed for now. Can my mouse really casue my game to lock up

Yes, mouse drivers can cause conflicts with other programs (ie Logitech's MouseWare drivers in Win98 would cause Windows Freecell to crash, as well as a couple other games). It isn't terribly common, though, or I would be able to think of a more recent example (I'm sure a Google search wouldn't turn up empty). Specific USB ports can also cause problems (ie boot problems if certain/any USB peripherals are plugged in, or power problems, etc), but I don't know about causing crashes in particular programs.

Have you checked if there are any updated drivers for your mouse?

Are you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game?


Welcome to the forum.

Have u tried compatibility mode? u could download from iOBit.com Game Booster the free version where u can turn off all unessecery progams

Have you tried plugging your mouse in a different USB port ? Might be worth a shot.
