XBox One Wirless Disconnect and Freeze

[jjstraka34]

Today, everytime I start up the game, after about 5 minutes my controller disconnects and then connects again after the game freezes for about 15-30 seconds. This keeps happening randomly until the game just flat-out locks up.

I'm also using a wireless Xbox one controller and don't have this problem. Are you sure it's not your controller or dongle?

My controller works fine with every other game I have. Beyond that, the freezing problem was an issue for me before the controller started acting up. After at most 10 or 15 minutes the game would lock up last night. Today the problem starts almost instantly.

I had this issue with me elite controller too. It stopped once I used plug and play.

I don't have a cord option for it, but it seems fairly ridiculous that a game like this wouldn't be able to support one of the most popular controller on the market.

It does only list “Partial Controller Support” on the page, I’m sure this is just an odd glitch and will hopefully be fixed. But I agree, in a AAA multi platform game like this, there’s no reason it should be a problem.

Hi, did you find a fix for this? I started running into the same problem.

In my case, my alkaline battery was lower than the game would allow it to be run with. It was still functioning, but I have noticed that Assassin's Creed Odyssey generally sucks more power out of what you are using it for than most other games. Even my gaming laptop LOSES about 10-15% of it's charge while plugged in if I run the game for too long. I assume it is putting the same strain on the controller. So when your battery starts getting low, even if not dead, the game doesn't sit with it. I suggest getting XInput Battery Meter to monitor your charge on the controller. It works pretty great.

I mainly have this issue when batteries are low but not fully drained.

Its annoying cuz it becomes completely unresponsive and really annoying, so make sure the batteries have plenty of charge.

When it happens for me I take on battery out and put it back in. It helps somewhat. Otherwise, just put new one in.
