Greetings everyone!
I've been having some really frustrating issues in regards to the Xbox 360 controller I just recently bought. It arrived yesterday, so I immediately plugged it in, installed the included software, and it worked like a charm. However, earlier this morning when I tried playing Guacamelee I noticed some really atrocious stuttering with the audio and video. The game was completely unplayable.
Afterwards, I tried out some other games, like Cave Story, Rayman Origins, and Broforce, all with similar results. All of these games run just fine with the keyboard, but as soon as I plug in the controller, it goes to complete shit. I've disabled the controller's rumble feature since that apparently causes some weird issues, but that didn't change a thing, and it was back to stuttering right away. I also tried disabling other unused USB devices (didn't help), and restarting my computer several times, which alleviates the problem for a single play session and then it comes back.
Any idea what might be causing these issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
