While trying to resolve issues with my game, I attempted to open it but instead Razer Cortex launched. Since it was causing severe lag in Geometry Dash, I wanted to close it and launch the game again. However, after closing Razer Cortex, my Steam behaved abnormally and kept closing when I tried to launch the game. I tried various solutions, including reinstalling Cortex, but nothing worked. My PC is also new, so I am unsure why this is happening.
Question

I am also facing the same issue. I will try it as you explained and if I face any problem, I will message you. :)
No problem. We’d always love to help.

I had this issue too and found turning of in game custom display fixed it immediately which is strange cause it’s only affected geometry dash so far

I am honestly very disappointed. I thought I was going to love my keyboard, but as soon as I started using it my game started lagging immediately. I tried using all of the tips listed above, but none of them worked. As soon as I unplugged it and started using the very cheap keyboard I got from office depot, the game started working just fine almost immediately. If you have any other options that could help me, please help, because I just ordered another one that is to arrive on tuesday, but would hate for that to have the same issues. I really thought these keyboards were going to enhance my gaming experience, but so far the 15 dollar keyboard i got from office depot is my only hope to actually enjoying my games.

I’ve had a similar experience with Razer Cortex, and honestly it’s a mixed bag. Sometimes it helps — freeing up memory and background tasks can give a small FPS bump — but recently I’ve seen more drawbacks than advantages.
