Could Bluetooth connectivity be influencing PC game performance?
Could Bluetooth connectivity be influencing PC game performance?
Hi everyone.
I've been observing this in several games lately.
The first time it occurred was with Pyre, which isn't particularly demanding on CPU or GPU, but when my wireless headphones and Xbox controller were connected to my PC through Bluetooth simultaneously, the game would stutter. It wasn't a consistent frame rate drop, more like the game would briefly freeze before resuming.
Recently, while playing MGSV, I've encountered a similar problem. I stopped connecting both the controller and headphones via Bluetooth after discovering a conflict with Pyre, but I still play using my controller. Sometimes the game stutters during specific actions or when rendering large amounts of terrain or animations at once. This only happens when the controller is linked via Bluetooth. For instance, it stutters when taking you to missions in the chopper and while driving, and the last input gets stuck for a short time (like the camera starting to rotate). However, if the car isn't moving, other inputs work fine at the same distance from the receiver.
I have a fairly powerful PC, so I suspect this might be a compatibility issue. (?)
Are others experiencing similar problems?
Thank you for any advice on resolving this.
