"Buttons: How do they even?" or, "I blocked, really I did"

Buttons.
Many of us have heard of them. Some of those lucky ones among us may have even pressed one in our times. I know, it's hard to keep up with this whirlwind pace of technology.
Is a button pressed? Is it not pressed? It's just so complicated. If only there was a machine that was designed specifically to deal with things that can be in either one of two possible states.
Ahh, I am but a dreamer.
In this video the only addon installed is "Am I Blocking?" by Qcell, and "LibAddonMenu" by sirinsidiator. The overlay of the mouse is provided by OBS, which is doing the video capture.

fakingfocused✭✭✭How many times will I have to hit a button to activate an ability today. Feel like that is the theme of the game lately.7 -

✭✭Most times I have to hit block and hold it a full 2 seconds before a call out to actually block in dungeons or trials. It blows. I am now going back to my router and modem trying to upgrade and see if I can reduce latency even a little so I can at least reduce the issue somewhat but frankly this is a theme for my entire group usually.2 -

Ohhh yeah I see it now. This happens with other spamming too, I've noticed... like netch but more importantly, radiating regen.PC/NA Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS/Heal), Trialist (DPS/Tank/Heal), and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore- CP 2000+

voidavoid✭✭Pretty sure this is not isolated to PC, as I've observed more than a few occasions where block has not worked on xbox series x.
Edit: of course, y'all have the utilities to really demonstrate the problem, so who knows, maybe they'll take a pass at fixing it.Edited by voidavoid on September 27, 2022 5:52PM1 -
AramDol✭✭That would make sense. The Windows side of handling mouse input is really simple and well documented, they would have to truly ZOS it up to break that.
The problem is, I think, not new. I think this is a feature from the beginning.0 -
AramDol✭✭The networking uses TCP/IP, so that wont lose messages.
My thinking is somewhere in the message handling plumbing is dropping messages.
Could be client side. Could be server side. But it's absolutely buried deep in their code somewhere. A real fundamental issue.0
