Xcloud XBOX controller has input issues

I had the same issue. The controller worked for navigating through Xbox app. but when a Xcloud game is launched, the inputs stopped working. I force stopped Xbox app and unpaired controller and removed it from Bluetooth devices. After reconnecting, the controller is working in Xcloud games. Hopefully it will fix your problem too. And it is for sure that this error is of Xbox app.

Disconnect and then reconnect your Xbox controller. Sometimes, reconnecting the device can help the app recognize the change in input method.

Besides, close Fortnite and the xCloud app completely, then reopen them. This can often resolve temporary glitches.

Also, it's worth looking for any settings within the xCloud app that pertain to controller use. Ensure these are set correctly for using an external controller.

It's not the same thing

Xcloud Server blades are running on AZURE not xboxs

And you aren't running xbox os

Remote play still requires input from xinput

Ala supported devices why do that when the solution is already been told to you

XAC which translates input into xinput ifrom different controllers

XAC ALLOWS the input

This is one of the major issues with xCloud that I hope are fixed before it is out of beta. This likely has nothing to do with your controller, but is instead just something you have to deal with when playing over a wireless connection.

I have the same input lag you’re experiencing on my iPad Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, but do not have this issue when I play on my M1 MacBook Air that is connected to the internet through a wired connection.

Since xCloud is being heavily advertised for use on mobile devices, let’s hope Microsoft is able to fix this quickly. We’re still in a beta period here.

Hi,

I have been using a DS4 controller and the controller input lag is very horrible sometimes even when wired. The game also freezes sometimes. Does my laptop performance impact Xcloud gaming performance too?
