I would love to know how to fix this issue. It's very annoying having a high end system and something as simple as Bluetooth won't work correctly.
Xbox One S controller causing major performance problems in many games when connected via bluetooth. Need dev attention. Widespread, many examples within.

When connecting the Xbox One S controller via bluetooth, many games suffer performance problems.
This is remedied by plugging it in via usb.
Firmware updates so far have not remedied the problem.
Just a brief anecdotal example before I demonstrate the scope of this problem
Just Cause 3's menu screen is locked to 30fps.
With KB+M: 30fps
XBone S via bluetooth: 22fps
XBone S via usb: 30fps
Now, this issue has come up in many forums over across the internet.

How do we get some dev attention on this issue? It's widespread and affects many games, and seems to be a driver issue.
I've tried updating from the current live release to the most recent insider build, as well as buying a high end bluetooth adapter. The issue persists, and clearly has nothing to do with me, my config, or anything we as users can do.
I've taken a fresh format, installed Trials Fusion(this game is particularly bad, unplayable over bluetooth0, and could immediately see the issue in play.
I've even swapped GPUs, from AMD to nVidia (not in an attempt to fix this, but it rules out display driver related issues)

2018-10-22T13:16:14+00:00 I found this post, i know its a bit old, but I see its still alive.. the xbox one controller still dogs out pc... Before I realized that it was my controller, i redid my bius 3xs, un clocked my card and cpu, deleteted games off one of my drives, and defragmented it and wasted many hours in INI Files.. I realized it was the controller, only after it disconected while in a game, and I saw the fps go up over 100fps. It was actually holding back as much as 200FPS on my Titan Card save yourselves the headaches, stick with the 360 controller with the dongle.. as of the date of my reply, Microsoft has done nothing. It does it on all my pc's with xbox one controller.. thats from a 1070, 1080, and a Titan.. How could they sell this controller to work with PC, total garbage.. stick with usb Bluetooth whenever you can..

2018-04-28T11:47:27+00:00 Wanted to edit the firmware when the controller was ready and ironically it took so long that I forgot.
It's running firmware 3.1.1221.0.
