Xbox Series X/S Controller disconnects from bluetooth in some Games

DrFeelgood440 · Aug 14, 2021

Hello all

I have had my Xbox Series controller since Christmas and i getting very tired of this problem I'm having. As exsample while playing Farming Simulator 19, Wreckfest or Lawn Mowing Simulator the controller disconnects from my PC and starts blinking and then connects to the PC again with a solid light, and this keeps happning every 2-3 minuets. In MFS 2020 the controller seem to work fine.

My PC Specs is:

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

Asus TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WiFi

32GB Corsair Vengence RGB Pro RAM @ 3200Mhz CL16

Palit Geforce RTX 2080 Super

All running on Windows 10 Pro 21H1. The controller is connected to Intel Wireless Bluetooth 5.1 on my motherboard Driver Version 22.60.0.6 , and the controller is updated to V 5.7.2688.0 via the Xbox Accessories APP.

Hi,

The Series S and X controllers work on same devices the earlier controller can connect to. This includes:

Xbox One Game receiver for Windows 10

Bluetooth (PC, Android, iOS)

Xbox One, One S, X and Series X/S.

it uses wifi that the xbox has a receiver and sender for, similar to the microsoft pc wireless adapter but obviously built into the console.

no bluetooth at all. there is not a single bluetooth chip in the console, the modern xbox controller connect via wifi to the console or bluetooth to phones and pc if not using the adapter for pc. only the controller has bluetooth and this is basic at best.

Does the Xbox Series X or Series S support Bluetooth? | Windows Central

No Bluetooth for Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X doesn't have Bluetooth, similarly to the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X. The reason is simple; the Bluetooth signal isn't strong enough to meet Microsoft's specifications for latency. Microsoft uses its proprietary signal, dubbed Xbox Wireless, for connecting controllers and other accessories, like the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and the SteelSeries 9X wireless headsets.

Microsoft's signal is far stronger than Bluetooth. Since many people typically game while sitting far away from their consoles in the living room or so on, Bluetooth's susceptibility to interference increases exponentially at longer ranges. If you were hoping you could use a USB Bluetooth adapter, it wouldn't work either, as the Xbox Series X and other Xbox One consoles don't have the drivers necessary to power them.

Hello

Now i have gotten a replacment from Microsoft (Frankfurt) and it is still the same problem, which i knew it would be, because how other have reported the problem on reddit.

I have done the above steps to try fixing it, but it still does not work. What do i do now?

I think it has to do with the Intel Bluetooth Drivers, because the problem seem to get better or worse, when the driver gets updated.

Kind regards Mark
