Warzone controller disconnect issue ruins games
In most multiplayer games, a controller disconnect is nothing more than a minor inconvenience. While scrambling for a new battery pack or plugging the controller into the console can be annoying, it doesn’t completely end your game.
Well, this doesn’t appear to be the case for Xbox Warzone players. As of writing, a number of Xbox Series X users have reported that controller disconnects are forcing them to leave live games since the Caldera map update.

Even if they manage to put new batteries in their controller or set up a wired connection, the game doesn’t seem to detect the hardware. “Once the controller is connected again, it doesn’t detect it in-game,”said one frustrated player. “I had to quit out the game completely mid-match.”
If that wasn’t bad enough, the disconnect issue appears to be affected by headsets as well. “I turned my headset off mid-game due to me not being able to talk to my teammates, and I got the same controller error,”explained Drainsta. “This whole game seems pretty buggy on Xbox right now.”
