Xbox series controller, connected via Xbox Wireless adaptor to my PC, not Bluetooth. I will test hardwired. PS5 hardwired works fine as does M&K

(Edit) - Hardwired works fine. This seems to be a issue with Xbox wireless adaptors.

This is not the first time I have heard of Xbox wireless controllers creating issues. As a matter of fact, a few years ago - I switched over to using a hardwired Xbox controller for this exact reason.

This is odd, I have the exact same controller, even colour, with the official wireless dongle and it makes no difference to my framerate. I even lowered all settings to allow a higher number to show any variance and it didn't change still. Hopefully you can fix this and enjoy the game :)

My 8bitdo pro 2 wireless (bluetooth) was having the back triggers "lock" which meant Spidey launch jumped non stop. Turning off the controller reset things but the bug would kick in again after a period of time and began happening faster and faster each time. Ended up switching to wired xbox from 8bitdo and had no issues.

I haven't grabbed a PS5 controller yet to test that. I have had no framerate issues but i could be brute forcing it since 3080ti/5800x. 4k max, ray tracing max, dlss quality.

Just tested it myself and it's the same for me. Xbox series controller, latest firmware, generic bluetooth dongle, wireless get about 45-80 fps, but with it wired get about 60-90fps, and pretty much never drops below 60fps. So weird, can't say I've ever experienced the same thing in any other game.

I had the same input problem, which only occurs on my 8Bitdo Pro 2 Controller, not the Xbox One Controller. I fixed it by manually editing the dead zones of the triggers to start the input around 10% press in the software editor.

I have the same issue on an i5 10400 with RTX 3080 max settings in 4k
Using an Xbox one controller with wireless dongle.

If I have the controller connected when I load into the game the fps is low (30-40)

If I start the game and load in without the controller on or connected I get around 60fps.

I can start and load the game with the controller off, then once it has loaded into gameplay connect the controller and it runs fine.

Are you sure you are running the latest version of the game? We fixed this issue with a patch in the beginning of September: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1817070/eventcomments/3423320123810052002/

I noticed that your CPU and GPU usage dropped from 90% to 70% with gamepad, weird.
I tried it, no difference on my end, even CPU-GPU usage is the same.

- Are you using the old big Xbox Wireless Dongle or the new smaller one?
- Did you install the Xbox Accessory app and update both the dongle and the controller?

its very likely your CPU bottlenecking hard and the polling rate of some controllers being 1000mhz literarily pushing your CPU over.

iam using a PDP xbox controller and all works fine.

That well could be it.
