Okay.. this is getting retarded.
The first time my 360 controller started losing is link, I changed my batteries and everything was fine.
Over the past two weeks, my 360 controller has repeatedly lost its link (in the middle of some very bad gaming moments, of course), and I've swapped out my batteries for new ones and nothing seems to help.
Honestly, I don't know if this happens in any game other than Madden 09 because that's what I'm playing right now.
When I turn on my console and activate my controller the link seems to stay for the normal amount of time. But when I start playing Madden 09, after about 30 minutes the controller link fails every 5 minutes.
The batteries are fine. If the link fails and I switch the batteries with new ones, the link still fails five minutes later.
I've tried to vary the times I'm playing the game to see if maybe there's interference from other people (I live in an apartment complex) the same time every night, but the time of day doesn't seem to matter.
So it's not an issue of my neighbors coming home and turning on their equipment that is disrupting my signal.
Has anyone else had this problem? I googled the problem (as any good netgeek would do), and the only answers I get are about changing the batteries.
My batteries are fine. But my controller to system link keeps failing. Which is REALLY annoying when it's 3rd and 15 and you've sent an all out blitz and are shifting your DL and your MLB and trying to move your defensive backs into press coverage and all of a sudden the control goes out and when you get it back the CPU is throwing the ball down the field because your guys aren't in the right spot.
Has anybody else had any problems with their 360 controllers losing their link?
It's possible I just got a bad controller and need to buy another one... that's fine, I won't bitch about it. But if there is an interference issue then I'll get angry.
