Controller Disconnecting During Session and then not re-connecting

Jump to Best Response

Hey, I've been playing cyberpunk via stadia and generally its been a great experience. The only issue is the controller just randomly disconnecting from time to time. When playing on my TV (through Chromecast) this isn't a massive issue as you can just turn the controller off and on and then input the little code to reconnect within 15 seconds. 

However when I'm playing on my computer via the chrome browser, when the controller disconnects there is no way to reconnect the controller unless I physically save and exit the game and start again. Is there a way I can fix this? 

Any help would be appreciated.

@wrenyo Reconnecting should be the easier part here, so I'll start there:

You should be able to re-link the controller if it disconnects while playing on PC by accessing the in-game Stadia menu. Do this by briefly holding [Shift] + [Tab] on your computer's keyboard. 

Okay, on to the disconnecting...

Does the controller stay powered on when it disconnects or does the Stadia status light go out? 

What can you tell us about your WiFi network? Frequency band(s), mesh/extender and number of nodes, how many devices are connected, etc?
