Xbox one controller on PC causes lag and single digit FPS

Well, the solution was to just connect my Xbox one controller with a cable to my pc. Then the problems went away. Keep in mind, I have the Bluetooth compatible controller. So use a cable and it should work fine.

Sometimes the solution is easy. Thanks for letting us know!

It should be recognized that this ISN'T a solution, just a work around. I don't have a long enough cable to play with my controller at my PC, so it's completely game breaking. I can't get more than 5 minutes in a game before it drops to 4 fps.

Is there an actual solution to this problem? I have the same issue. Even on the menu connecting my controller drops framerate to single digits. Turning the controller off immediately returns frames to the 120hz limiter. Having to plug in a wireless controller is not a solution.

I am having the same issue. I am using an Xbox One S controller via bluetooth. Randomly, it drops to 4 fps. Disconnecting the controller jumps the fps up to normal for me. Reconnecting the controller does not immediately cause performance issues, but it never happens without the controller connected. This makes no sense to me. I am fairly savvy, and I cannot see why there would be any sort of connection between using a controller wirelessly vs wired that would affect the frame rate. ESPECIALLY when this game was allegedly intended for controller. You would expect that there would have been extensive bug testing done here.

Hello there,

A player experienced the same issue and resolved it by changing the batteries in his controller. Might be worth checking out:

why does only this game have this issues? then it should be flag and consider as a fatal bug that need an official patch to fix it. 

Hey guys, it's most likely not the game but your controller. I don't even have that game but noticed the problem lately in other games. It seems to get worse if the battery is low. I did a websearch (which is how I also ended up here) and just wanted to let you know that you should check if your controller is up to date. Download the Xbox Accessories App from Microsoft and then plugin your controller via USB after installing and starting the app. It will tell you if your controller needs an firmware update. Try again after you have installed the most recent firmware on your controller and see if the problem still occurs.

I had this problem as well with my xbox wireless controller. Although using a cable does work, I found out that any time my controller's batteries got low, it caused the problems you are experiencing. Try replacing the batteries with fresh ones and see if the problem still exists.

Hey everyone. I know this is a super old issue but Microsoft has never fixed or addressed it. There are a couple things that help with this but none of them are solutions, more workarounds. The first, already mentioned is to plug in your controller.

The second is to get the official wireless adapter from Microsoft so you aren't using Bluetooth and another slightly less known workaround is to turn off the vibration function in your game settings.

The last one, Turning off vibrations, isn't nearly as effective as the first two but it's something for those that don't have a long cord or a wireless dongle. Turning off the vibration will only increase fps slightly (+20 fps for me) and it wont effect the input lag or stuttering.

Disabling/bypassing Bluetooth headsets and controllers are the only complete work-arounds right now.

This issue is completely controller specific and so using a Dual-shock 4  via Bluetooth has none of the issues although setting it up comes with it's own headaches. lol
