Game streaming preview, issue wifi when bluetooth enabled (unplayable )

gregoryde-campos · Aug 15, 2020

Hello everyone, Just some feedback and a big question. Actually i can't play game streaming on wi-fi. I have an 70mbps wi-fi connexion. Not an amazing speed, but i live in a old condo on French Riviera, so it's what you would expect here. If i start a
game without bluetooth, the game run perfectly. When my bluetooth xbox on controller is connected, it's awful, freezing, nothing respond. Even on 5ghz channel. I tried an speed test, with the bluetooth on, the speed drops to 25mbps, and with the xbox one controller,
i drop at.... 1.5mbps !!! After little research, it seems that some phones/tablets have wifi/bluetooth chip less efficient and not very well build/isolated for cost reasons. It was a marginal issue, with some slow internet and greedy bluetooth devices, but
a futur real problem for game straming. Indeed, when i said "some" phones, it seems that it' the case for most of the middle to high middle end Chinese Brand ( Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, One Plus...) Google phones and some samsung. So it's a lot of phones( I have
myself a Honor view 10, pretty decent by the way). So did someone have the same issue here? Does Microsoft knows about it, and a wired controller option for the final version is envisaged ? Or do we have, poor souls, to buy i and android smartphones/tablets
to enjoy this "accessible" new way of playing ? ( By the way, on mobile data it's playable but not a viable option for the cost of it, and i tried on a 120mbps wifi connexion, same issue) Thanks for your time

:)

dont mixup your wifi speed with your internet connection speed.

bluetooth and wifi use near the same band, i dont have any issues with it and im on samsung note 10 plus. it could be the signal from your router is not the best and is weakened further when bluetooth is in use.

server settings

The bluetooth supported by your device is close in frequency to your wifi and causing interference. Check your router manual about changing your wifi channel

That is definitely not the issue as the controller works fine with both the phone and tablet with all other apps the issue is specifically while using the xbox streaming app.

The Xbox One adapter works with all Xbox One and Series controllers. It enables the features bluetooth cannot as it uses a different system called WiFi Direct

1. Was this working before?

It was a weekend server test for the Diablo 4 so I could not have streamed this before this point the only other time I had an issue like this was when I had a 10 hour preview for wild hearts I was able to stream other games no problem. It seems like the issue only presents itself with game previews or game demos/ server test. Its not like there was a stream embargo everyone else that was streaming the game was streaming it via the server test game copy. the only difference was they were streaming it from pc it seems Xbox disables the ability to stream game previews/demos. If I stream something under stream embargo that is an issue between me and the game developers or me and twitch. The platform from witch I stream from should have no influence on this. But I remind you that there was no stream embargo thousands of other people streamed this on pc no issue.

2. If yes, when did the problem start?

as stated above it only happens with game previews/demos/server tests

3. Any activity or recent changes made before the issue appeared?

no cause I was able to stream other things

4. What troubleshooting steps have you done?

I restarted my console I also tried to stream other games and they streamed just fine

"I don't know what Bluetooth is."

Bluetooth is a wireless technology, it allows you to connect Bluetooth enabled devices to other devices to allow them to be used via wireless, in this instance an Xbox One controller on mobile phone or tablet.

to use an Xbox controller on your phone you'll need to sync it to your device.

As for it being some kind of Scam, it isn't. I've not been able to test home streaming on a phone/tablet, but I've tested out the Xcloud preview and I'm pleasantly surprised!

Just because it didn't work for you or you don't understand how to set it up, doesn't make it scam.

What could it be used for? Imagine being in hotel with a fast internet connection but you've got nothing to do? Xcloud to the rescue. Connect your controller to the Phone or tablet and stream Xbox games to your device. Seems pretty cool.
