  1. Controller keeps disconnecting during intense gameplay sessions


    I've been experiencing an issue with my Xbox controller disconnecting during intense gameplay sessions. It's quite frustrating as it mainly happens when I'm in the middle of a crucial part of the game. I've ensured that the controller is fully charged, but the problem persists. I've also attempted to reconnect the controller manually, which works for a short period before the disconnections resume. Does anyone have any advice on troubleshooting or know if there might be an underlying issue with my Xbox or controller itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Controller keeps disconnecting during intense gameplay sessions

    Hello, Emmet Chakkalakal.

    We appreciate you posting in Microsoft Community.



    Benefiting from your detailed description, I noticed that your Xbox controller disconnects frequently during gameplay.

    I'm glad to have the opportunity to help you with this issue.



    Based on past experience, potential problems with the console and controller are the primary direction for troubleshooting.

    Some wireless signal interference may also cause this problem.



    Here are some initial troubleshooting and cross-testing steps:

    Remove your controller from your Xbox console first.

    Then you can do a Power cycle:

    - Press and hold the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds.

    - After the console has shut down, unplug the power cord and wait 30 seconds.

    - Also remove all peripherals like Storage Expansion Cards, UBD HDDs, battery charging stations, etc.

    - Plug the console back in and turn it on by pressing the Xbox button.

    Then try re-add the Xbox controller.



    Also, to troubleshoot your controller, you can connect it to PC, and try using a wired connection on console to see if it disconnects during gameplay.



    Finally, can you tell me in which stage of which game this problem mainly occurs? Is this the only game where this problem occurs?



    Feel free to share with me your results after performing these steps and more information, I will help you further based on your update.

    Thank you for your cooperation.



    Best Regards.
