Temporary fix script for keyboard input delay

🎮 What is this?

This is a simple script designed specifically for Red Dead Redemption 2. What it does is **automatically launch the game's benchmark**. You may ask, why do this? Because when the game switches to other windows (Alt+Tab), there seems to be a keyboard input delay problem (this problem does not affect mouse operations). Users in the Steam community found that running benchmarks solved the problem. This script automates the process, making it easy to fix every time you launch the game.

⚙️ Installation method

  • Download and install ScriptHookRDR2
  • Extract the **"WorkaroundFixKeyboardInputLag.asi"** file to the game root directory
  • Finish!

🚀 How to use

  • **Launch Game**
  • After the loading screen ends, the script will automatically **run the benchmark**
  • After the benchmark test starts, you will see the "ESC" button prompt in the lower right corner of the screen
  • Press the **ESC key** to exit the benchmark

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

**Note:** According to Steam user feedback (see link below), you need to wait approximately 5 seconds after starting the benchmark before exiting.

This issue does not seem to be completely consistent for all users, and some players have reported that pausing the game can also solve the problem.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
