Check you BT adapter is using its antennas properly if it has any, check with another adapter maybe, this typically happens on unstable/faulty BT connections

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:35 AM

#

I have absolutely no problem when I'm not running DSX, I've ran diagnostics on my bluetooth and nothing could be found.

#

I've also checked the antennas, they are connected properly

#

Can you share your DSX Logs please ? Also which DSX version are you running ? If not 3.1 Beta, please update to it and check again

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:36 AM

#

I just updated to 3.1 beta, it's disconnected once so far

#

Hopefully it'll make a difference

#

#

Nvm

#

Disconnected again

I think these lines keep repeating

#

Thanks, hopefully @maiden musk has an idea

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:52 AM

#

I think controller is not charged up

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:52 AM

#

The controllers are usually 80-100% charged

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:52 AM

#

That's what DSX displays?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:52 AM

#

Yes

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:52 AM

#

does it disconnect instantly?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

#

Sometimes

#

Other times, a few minutes

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

How about auto-shutoff?

#

go to My Controller Page

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

I have it set to 15 minutes

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

then to general settings

#

hmm

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

The default

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:54 AM

#

I mean this type of error is coming from windows

#

so hard to say what the problem is exactly

#

Does your PC have the BT/WIFI antena thing or are you using a BT dongle?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:55 AM

#

It has an antenna

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

Connected properly?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

I've tried to disconnect it and reconnect it

#

Yeah

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

Do you have other devices connected to PC via BT?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

My keyboard and mouse

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:57 AM

#

Can you go to My Controller Page, and send a screenshot of device info?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:57 AM

#

#

It's been connected for a while this time

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 8:58 AM

#

hmm, very weird

#

Polling rate is a bit low

#

but shouldn't be an issue

#

Have you tried troubleshooting BT on your PC? Is there same behavior for KB/M?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 8:59 AM

#

I tried, it found nothing

#

Maybe a problem with my game's native control?

#

I've just had the controller on and connected to dsx atm, haven't synced it up to my game yet

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 9:00 AM

#

It is possible. When you're not gaming, does it stay connected for a long time?

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 9:00 AM

#

That's what I'm testing right now

#

The led color keeps changing back to the default one every now and then though which is a bit concerning

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 9:01 AM

#

Yeah if it stays connected for at least 30 mins no issues, and then you start gaming, and then disconnect, very possible could be the game having an issue

maiden musk Sep 18, 2025, 9:01 AM

Depends on your setup with DSX, and if other games/programs can see your physical controller which they can also send data to it and overlap with DSX

bitter gull Sep 18, 2025, 9:01 AM

#

Okay, so when I have the controller on dsx with native control, I can't do anything in game

#

But if I change it to emulation, the controller works in the game

somethin to try is messing with this site and see what it shows. like in native mode does it show any controller? in an emulation mode does it show two controllers? https://gpadtester.com/

usually i use this one https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad but i think it's down or smth rn. i think the first one should still work okay

One message that keeps popping up but disappearing from the logs is

I used the first link and got my controller connected as gamepad #3 and #4, but only #4 registers inputs, and it disconnects after a while.

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

bitter gull I used the first link and got my controller connected as gamepad #3 and #4, but ...

What's in the first two? Other controllers?

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

Nothing

#

I actually tried connecting again and now it's connected to gamepad #1 and #2

#

But only gamepad #2 functions

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

bitter gull I actually tried connecting again and now it's connected to gamepad #1 and #2

With just one controller connected right? THONKERS maybe should try in the virtual controller options the Fix Double Input button?

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

Now it's not functioning at all

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:42 PM

#

theoretically it should only show one controller in the tester

#

so if it is showing two that is a sign of trouble

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

I tried to toggle the controller on hidhide and now inputs won't go through

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

bitter gull I tried to toggle the controller on hidhide and now inputs won't go through

did you find the fix double input button?

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

Trying

#

But gpad won't even pick up the connection anymore

#

Wait it picked up

#

The double input came back

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

bitter gull Trying

mm so open the profile editor section in DSX and then look for this in the virtual device options

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

I tried that

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

THONKERS

#

dang i'm not sure

#

that's weird

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

From this, does seem like a double input is the problem

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

ya, it seems like apps are seeing two controllers

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

Is HidHide supposed to automatically close one?

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

it's supposed to make sure that apps can't see the real controller and only the virtual

#

maybe you could try reinstalling hidhide or smth

bitter gull Sep 19, 2025, 9:09 PM

#

I think that did it

#

Now it's just a test of time

atomic cave Sep 19, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

HYPERS

bitter gull Sep 20, 2025, 3:34 AM

#

Okay, now I'm certain that the issue is multiple inputs

atomic cave Sep 20, 2025, 5:22 AM

#

sadge

#

Idk

bitter gull Sep 20, 2025, 6:34 AM

#

Right now, I have to close DSX, reopen, click on the fix double input, and then change the type of controller emulation to get it to stay connected

bitter gull Sep 21, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

I’ve noticed that manually opening HidHide each time I connect my controller prevents it from disconnecting, but that defeats the purpose of it automatically hiding the controller in the first place.

bitter gull Sep 21, 2025, 9:21 PM

I deleted everything and redownloaded. Haven't had an issue yet!
