Which game are you playing?

Also, please don't post in General and the same thing in here.

#

I don't know if it will work for all games, but this is what I do for CoD - Turn the console on, turn off the controller, launch the game with your keyboard.

Another option to try is taking the batteries out of the controller and plug it in via USB. Some people have reported that works, others have said it doesn't.

If it doesn't, you'll just have to nudge the stick every now and then to stop it turning off. It's not handled very well on console unfortunately.

Need a power/data cable. Your cable might be data only if it doesn’t turn on. If it turn on, but still turns off after inactive, then it’s a power only cable.
