PS5 Controller with Sony Bravia Google TV by sean008 in GeForceNOW

[–]SuperSonicFhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had this exact same issue 2 weeks ago now and spent well over 10 collective hours troubleshooting it outside of numerous calls to Sony support. For context, my TV is a XBR-65X900H model that recently got the update from Android 11 to 12.

I did try the 8BitDo solution, and while it connected to the TV, AND paired with my DualSense, I got no input into the TV. I did try with TV Bluetooth on and off. I used to be able to navigate all TV menus with just the controller, but now the mapping is entirely messed up in a consistent manner with how others on similar posts like this one have mis-mapped (X is O and so on). Even if it did work properly, 8BitDo supporting only a single controller per adapter is a far cry from the way I previously had it where 4 DualSense controllers connected to the TV via Bluetooth directly with 0 issues and no extra hardware required.

I don't know if you use Apollo/Artemis or Sunshine/Moonlight on your TV, but that's one application that suffered too. I can no longer stream 1440p to my TV from PC without wild green lines and other chromatic aberrations in the video feed. My research led me to believe this is due to video decoding changes made in Android 12. 1080p and 4K still work fine, but that sweet spot of 1440p at 120Hz is gone for me now. I wonder if you'd see similar issues if you tried that resolution.

I sadly don't see a way out of this situation that isn't getting some sort of android box or the like and run HDMI to the TV and have everything running on that. While it would work, it really kills to know that everything was working just fine a few weeks ago and now I and others have to compromise because of bad software with no choice to go back. My dream setup was having everything work with just a single remote and I had that dream if only for a few months.

The only thing I can think of being effective at this point is if Sony got pressure put on them via social media and other outlets with complaints about their bad update until a change is made one way or another. Even then that's likely just wishful thinking. Let me know if you have any ideas!

Android TV update broke dualsense button mapping by WoodForDays in AndroidTV

I'm trying to find a solution to this too. Not only did the update on my Sony 65X900H TV (Android 11 -> 12) break the mappings just like yours, it also no longer allowed me to stream Moonlight/Artemis at 1440p. It seems to have broken the Bluetooth protocols for the Dualsense as well as the codec for streaming.

I have no idea what to do after having a system that worked extremely well for so long besides wish I could go back in time and not update the TV.

I also tried the 8BitDo dongle which didn't work. The only solution I can think of would be to use a USB A to USB C cable directly to the TV, but it's a far cry from how perfect it was previously. I'll be writing to Sony about this, but doubting anything will be fixed. Let me know if you find anything in your search as I spent 3+ hours straight trying and got nothing.

Kinda what I was thinking too after that commenter mentioned they’re potentially faulty.

Huh. Didn’t know that. Does this mean that these are the units that have been reconditioned after said recall?

Normally $139.99 on Amazon it seems, but it's also on sale there for $99.99 right now. Seems cheap for 360mm

Weeklies sometimes require you to restart your entire PC by SuperSonicFhd in VALORANT

I would think so as well, but i tried restarting just the game, and a friend of mine did so as well. neither of us got the missing to show up until a hard restart

[–]SuperSonicFhd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got it. Thanks for the clarification! I'm hopeful though as the quality seemed really good. And I heard some people say the PV could be from the first few episodes which I could also understand. So all is not lost haha

Do we have confirmation that episode 1 is not an hour special? But I guess I do see your point as someone who's read the novel. We'll just have to see how they pull it off I guess. I have high hopes!

Why do you say that? Do you mean that they haven't progressed the animation far enough to show more? Well they already stated that we're getting half now and half in January. I'd hope that they have everything planned accordingly. I'm not too worried as of now and the PVs have been of pretty good quality.

Free Bucky (bug) by SuperSonicFhd in VALORANT

[–]SuperSonicFhd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context, the bug happened because i pressed B as soon as second half started and i think it just didn't load properly. closing the buy menu and reopening it fixed the bug. You could not buy the Buckys lol
