Description

Game Name?

Wii Party - SUPJ01

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.

The game will disconnect Wiimotes whenever the hell it feels like it. It disconnected it 3 times in one minigame, but then lasted through 6 turns without a disconnect. Seems entirely random and annoying.

What did you expect to happen instead?

I understand that sometimes games will disconnect Wiimotes in Dolphin, usually on ES_Launch and whatnot. But disconnecting it whenever it feels like it is annoying and makes the game hard to play

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Have Wii Party
  2. Go into the board game mode because it's least bad
  3. Play a couple turns, slowly get frustrated as the game's BS mechanics. Oh yeah, and the Wiimote will disconnect a bunch.

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?

4.0-5738

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?

Unknown

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)

Core i5 3570K, GTX 760, Windows 7 x64

No logs unless you care about me reconnecting the Wiimote every five minutes with alt F5.

You must write from the future, at the moment latest build is 4.0-5736 ;)
Anyway I tried the board game and almost reached the top without a single disconnection of Wiimote! (unfortunately after almost 1 hour of play the spaceship shooting minigame crashed Dolphin - gpu problem :( )

I'm using a Wii remote plus with the Toshiba stack on Windows 8.1 and Wiimote speaker in the controller option menu is disabled

Tried another 30 minutes of play this time with wiimote speaker enabled and still not a single Wiimote disconnection...

I'm on the Japanese version. Maybe that matters.

Here Japanese too (SUPJ01)

You said you use a Dolphinbar...so this one could be related to issue 8182 (continuos scanning problem) or not?

I don't think so, this is the only game that's done it to me. Maybe it's possible, though.

This is the only game I have the problem with. Played a few other games today.

Do you have the possibility to try this game using a "normal" usb bluetooth adapter and using the Dolphinbar only as a sensor bar?

I wonder if it's because I was playing with my Wii set to English instead of Japanese? Maybe that was confusing things. If other people can't reproduce, I'm willing to close this issue.
