Game stuttering when using Xbox one controller FIXED Helios 300

IsaacLow

I figured Id share how I fixed the 'stuttering' in some games using my Xbox one controller on my Helios 300.  The game would operate normally using keyboard and mouse, but when I start moving the analog sticks the game stutters and lags quite a bit, making any game unplayable.  So, I contacted Acer customer support via phone.  The person was very helpful but through uninstalling/installing my Bluetooth drivers as well as resetting my pc I still had the same issue.  So I did some troubleshooting of my own to avoid waiting weeks to return and eventually get another gaming laptop.  I noticed after unplugging my monitor that the game did not stutter on the predator's display.  Finding this, I looked under device manager (you can look this up in the windows search bar) then went to my display adapters and updated my 1660ti driver from device manager.  I also checked for windows updates windows search bar>>check for updates>>clicked check for updates.  There were some updates found so I updated them then I restarted my computer to install them.  The issue was still present after this though, so I decided to restart the computer again with my monitor disconnected then connected it again.  Loaded up a classic, rocket league, and just to my surprise it actually worked.  No stuttering or lag whatsoever anymore, I am using a bluetooth connection for my controller without the wireless adapter (don't buy that ***** thing you do not need it), not that I had one in the first place but I just wanted to put that in there.  So there you have it, a very annoying issue fixed just with some simple troubleshooting. 

 I may also add that I overclocked my monitor's refresh rate to 75hz from 60hz by adding a custom resolution because I wanted a higher refresh rate.  This is very easy to do.  I may add that you need to look in the owner's manual for your monitor to see what cable supports what resolution at what refresh rate, for example: I am using an HDMI cable so I saw that in my monitor's owners manual says it can only support 75hz at a 1920x1080 resolution.  So this will not be listed in the control panel as a native resolution, which means you have to create a custom one.  This is done my right clicking your desktop and selecting the NVIDIA control pannel>>change resolution>>customize>>it will then pull up a new tab just check the box at the bottom that makes it visible>>create custom resolution.  Then create your custom resolution with the specified refresh rate, making sure it is on progressive.  You then will click test at the bottom

Well done and thanks for sharing but overclocking you display its not advisable at all it will decrease the display lifespan by a huge number and it doesnt bring any benefits at all its always better to upgrade to a compatible 120hz display at least or 144hz if any compatible available
