    no?

    also the app is garbage, takes forever to launch and 90% of the time locks up 30 seconds after

    My bad, you need to download 'xbox accessories' from the ms store.

  • Guys, Im new here! And I can't play the game, the game says " Sea of Thieves is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. (Kiwibeard)" Is it just me? Or it's global?

    Like the xbox app its garbage, its stuck doing nothing

    yep useless

    closed it reopened

    wanted to be plugged in before could do anything

    do that

    only way to check battery is if the controller is plugged in

    at which point it says wired

    It is down for maintenance fella.
    They take the server down whilst they perform maintenance and add patches to the game.

    Will be back up usually around 2pm UK time.

  • @sshteeve Oh okay! That's a relief.. thank you for your time!

  • @nom3rcy19 yep it's global... Weekly update...

    You need to download the Xbox Accessories app, update it, and if available, your controller and then turn on the controller and select More Options.

    It is one of the most asinine things about using an official controller that I have ever seen.

    Also while I'm ranting the Buzz feature does not work in the app, so you can not test the vibrate.

    the more options is greyed out unless i plug it in and make it wired, useless app

  • @personalc0ffee said in How do you check battery levels on a wireless xbox controller:

    @splatulated I had that issue until I updated the firmware on the controller which you can only do by plugging it in.

    Are you using the official Xbox Wireless adapter?

    no, im useing a bluetooth adapter

    I tried an official adapter once and to make it work i had to disable my GPU and uninstall steam at which point I couldn't run any games

  • i recommend you to try the steps some different people told you to in the posts before :
    get the app , ,use the original wireless adapter ,update all your stuff ( including windows,graphics drivers ,etc.) and then try again .

    i had to do all those steps to get my xbox controller working proper ,too . now all works fine . i dont need to uninstall or turn of anything ;)

    best luck ....
