EA Staff (Retired)Hey @Cavetrolls,
Thank you for checking on this. Does it make a difference if you connect via Bluetooth before launching the game or after?
I would also like to go through some of the basics for troubleshooting, go through these steps, and let me know if this continues.
- Run a repair on Origin.
- Select My Game Library in Origin.
- Right-click on the game tile.
- Select Repair Game.
- Clear Origin Cache
- Run as admin, by Right-clicking on the game desktop icon, select 'Run as Admin'
- Check any Anti-virus to not interfere with Origin and Squadrons files
- Try to Clean Boot

@EA_Illium No - this occurs both if I connect before starting and after it's started.
I actually own this through Steam however I verified the integrity of the all the game files.
I tried both running as admin and disabling my anti-virus before realizing it was the controller causing issues 😉
And I just tried the clean boot and had the same issue after ~30 minutes game time. I did verify that by connecting the controller via USB instead of Bluetooth the issue doesn't reproduce so something about the Bluetooth is causing issues. I should note that when Squadrons is having issues, everything else continues to perform like normal. I did a 3dmark run when Squadrons was lagging and my performance was normal.

I have the same issue, but I am using a wired X-Box controller. It runs and controlls perfect in ultra quality during campaign, but regardless of graphics settings I have found multiplayer unplayable. I will nudge the controller and then just randomly stutter around the screen, sometimes flying straight into the wall. It almost feels like someone else is trying to fly my ship at the same time, and I am fighting against them.
- EA_Illium@Slaughterloo To confirm you are on a wired connection with your Xbox controller or are you using it in Bluetooth mode as well?
I am running a wired connection.
