Vive pro wand controller loses tracking mid game

[Xianobi]

Just like the title says, I have one controller that recently has started to lose tracking mid game. The light on the controller shows it’s still connected, but in VR it’s frozen, and restarting g the controller does not fix it…I have to restart steamVR for it to work again! I can’t seem to find the answer, and I’m thinking I may have to open it up to see if the tracking ribbon needs re-seating, but I have my doubts since a restart makes it work again.
If anyone has raced this and fixed it successfully , I’d love to hear what worked!

Sounds most similar to this, consider these fixes, especially #3 first:

Prior causes of Index right controller flying off in the forums:
1) USB bandwidth problem ( https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/kylxvn/how_the_heck_do_i_hard_reset_the_index_controllers/ )
2) If caused by haptics it's a controller defect
3) Turn off PC's bluetooth ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/2/6126615404784088134/ )
4) If also HMD has tracking problems, maybe a USB chipset incompatibility ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/0/3723946425648297770/ )

Thanks for your reply! However I doubt it’s any of the 3 as I’ve had the Vive and controllers for a long time and have only had issues recently, and only with one controller with no hardware/usb changes.
As well, my headset has no tracking issues.

Hopefully I find something before I have to open it.
