ATV 4 turned up today with a Steelseries Nimbus set it up and installed Crossy Road and was appalled by the lag in the controller it seems to be making the game unplayable really has anyone else experienced this?
Nope everything has been good for me so far. Pretty odd that you're experiencing that much lag. I can even play iOS games via AirPlay with no lag using my nimbus.
I've been saying it in other threads, but the nimbus controller sucks. I don't think its lag you are experiencing. You have to hit the buttons harder than normal for it to register properly. it sucks
I can kind of agree with this. I connected a BT sound bar to the ATV4 and I'm frequently losing the connection and having to go back into Settings to reselect it as the audio output. Hopefully, it's an issue that can be resolved through software rather than an inherent Bluetooth problem.I have two of them and they don't always play nice in crossy roads, but they work in other games like badlands. crossy roads was not written with a controller in mind, it's intended to be for the siri remote. I also find that the ATV4 has bluetooth failures on a regular basis. the remote gets lost, controllers stop work then pair back up a few minutes later... I think it's less a controller issue and more the typical crappy bluetooth experience. and before everyone rants it's my fault... I am 4 ft away with direct line of sight to the ATV4.... my comment is broader that bluetooth in general is one of the least reliable protocols that exists. so expect regular faulures as part of the experience.
My Siri remote has completely lost connection and it won't reconnect at all. I have tried to repair it, however it doesn't work. Since I can't use the Remote app to control the Apple Tv, I'm waiting for it to restore now.....Yes I have noticed lot's of Siri remote lost connections and reconnected as well...

Have you download the iPhone app?
Because you can upgrade the controller software in the app.
Maby it would help to solve your problem.

Thanks!no, you pair to phone, then you just have to go back to ATV and click connect. it's already paired

I'm curious, did you go into the Video settings of the ATV4 and select 1080P or is it set to Auto still? I'm wondering if games/apps change the resolution if it is left on Auto. I've got mine manually set to 1080P and have not experienced any problems, but I have not tried any games yet.I haven't tried the nimbus in Crossy Road, but the controller works great in my other games.
Crossy Road is a bit of a turd actually, since it changes the resolution of my Apple TV to 1080 from 720 for no reason...pretty sloppy programming.

Is it a problem with hitting the buttons harder or intermittent connection in button contacts. Everything else is fine.I've been saying it in other threads, but the nimbus controller sucks.

That, when it happens is down to the developer. All buttons on MFI controllers have to offer analog input, as dictated by Apple.
You can however, in the code for your game, set it up so that you get a response instantly, regardless of how hard the button is hit. I'm doing it in my upcoming game and there's no lag in it whatsoever.
I have to wonder why they even bothered with that technology. Sony's had pressure sensitive buttons since the PS2, and in all that time I can recall maybe 2 or 3 games that ever actually used them. (I think Microsoft had them on the original Xbox, then dropped the feature on the 360.)
