    Xbox controller lag


    i have been having this problem for a while, it happens randomly and it lags the game very hard and the controller stops taking inputs, the only solution i found was taking out the battery and putting it back in for a quick restart, it happens with most
    game where i use the controllers.

    Skyrim: controller lag

    Yes i already installed it, it's not the game lag that is a problem, the game runs very smooth and i haven't experienced any lag yet, the problem is the controller lag or input lag, the time difference between using the controller and seeing these actions
    on the tv. I am sorry if i mixed up the terms game lag and controller lag, because these are 2 different things. But thanks for the advice! i will post my results by tomorrow, i really hope it is just the controller thumbsticks that are worn out because i
    am dealing with this controller lag for a long time. I actually resold a tv after buying because the controller lag was to big, the tv was to slow with processing the image of the xbox. Now i have a fast panasonic plasma tv with a lag of 16 ms ( should be
    non-noticable for humans, according to what i have read) so that shouldn't be a issue, though i want to reduce the lag as much as possible. For example i do not prefer the bow as a weapon because i find it very hard to aim because of the controller lag.

    As Delentheus stated it all adds up.The controller lag, processing lag, frame lag and TV lag adds on top of human lag.

    Xbox Wireless Headset Audio Latency

    I do not own the Xbox wireless headset, but I had read review from rting.com that it has 200ms latency. While I do not have an explanation to why the lag, the lag is probably expected.

    I also notice there is some lag on controller 3.5 output. If you use monitor speaker and controller headphone at the same time, you will notice the lag, although very minimal.

    Just a little side note: Game lag is also known as controller lag.

    Xbox One Summer Update - after updating the game streaming to PC keeps disconnecting

    So, I tried a bunch of different things today. I will just list everything I did.

    Xbox App Beta version: 22.23.4005.0

    Xbox One Console OS version: 10.0.14393.1065

    Windows 10 PC's version: 1607

    Windows 10 PC's OS Build: 14393.447

    -I started streaming to my PC. The Xbox One console was wirelessly connected. The controller was connected with USB to the PC.

    -There was no lag for about 2hrs.

    -Once the lag started, I kept playing. The lag spikes were about 5min apart. At first going to the dashboard would fix the lag, but after a little while the lag seemed to get more severe. When the lag was more severe, going back to the dashboard didn't seem
    like it had that much of an impact on the lag. I also tried to stop streaming, and then start streaming again; this sometimes would fix the lag temporarily. The lag would continue to come back every 5min.

    -Once I noticed that the lag was happening consistently every 5min, I disconnected the controller from the PC. I then reconnected it to the console(with a wired USB). The lag was still occurring unfortunately.

    -Then I quit out of the game I was playing and restarted it; doing that got rid of the lag. I let the game run for about 1hr 30min. The lag didn't return.

    -I then disconnected the controller from the console and reconnected it to the PC with USB. I was able to play for about another hour or so until the lag started happening again. I kept playing for about another 30min.

    -Once the lag was consistently happening every 5min, I again disconnected it from the PC and reconnected it to the console(with USB).

    -Once again, the lag continued until I restarted the game. When I restarted the game the lag was still happening this time, but it wasn't as severe. Most of the time when I would go to the dashboard, it would fix the lag temporarily. Almost every time I
    stopped streaming and restarted streaming, it would fix the lag temporarily. The lag would also happen about every 10min instead of 5min.

    -Then I disconnected the controller from the USB(the controller was still connected to the console, but it was now wireless). When the lag was happening, I would try going to the dashboard, but it wasn't stopping the lag. I also tried to restart the streaming,
    but that also didn't stop the lag.

    -I then reconnected the controller to the console with USB. When I would go back to the dashboard it would sometimes fix the lag. When I would restart the stream it would typically fix the lag. The lag was still always coming back every 10min though.

    -Then I restarted the game again. This caused the lag to go away completely. I let the game run for about an hour, and the lag did not return.

    -Then I disconnected the controller from the console and reconnected it to the PC with USB again. I was able to play for about 1-2hrs before the lag returned.

    So, it seems like having the controller connected to the console(wired with USB) works the best. If there ever is lag I could typically either go to the dashboard or restart streaming the temporarily fix the lag. I could also just restart the game, and fix
    the lag completely. The lag was also less severe, and would happen less often(every 10min instead of 5min).

    Having the controller wirelessly connected to the console seemed to basically be the same as having the controller connected to the PC. Having the controller connected to the PC had the worst results. The lag was more severe and would happen more often.

    I know that there is a new update for the console that came out today, and I am downloading it right now. I don't know if there are any bug fixes or anything like that in the update, but I will play some more tonight. I will post again tonight or tomorrow
    morning to say if anything having to do with the lag has improved. I also just noticed that the Xbox App has an update. I will probably download that and test out the normal Xbox App and see if there is any change.
