Wii U owners: gameplay skipping while playing on GamePad

[Jumpem]

Has anyone else experienced games skipping, or framerate loss, while laying on the GamePad only?

 

[shortylickens]

nope. never.

The stuttering goes away when I turn off the TV, cell phones, and Kindle. It appears to be the Kindle. Specifically, when it is playing Netflix.

Never had anything like that.

It uses UWB (ultra-wide band) wireless to stream video to the tablet. Not sure about the input events that are sent back to the system (probably 2.4GHz Bluetooth or something for that).

The UWB video stream shouldn't get interference from 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio, but you'd want to make sure there's nothing blocking line of sight from the tablet controller to the console. UWB doesn't penetrate walls as well as lower frequencies do.

Yea I find that annoying. Many times I'd like to take the gamepad to the bedroom to work on levels, etc....but it doesn't have that kind of distance

I've seen it happen a few times, it didn't persist though so I wasn't able to narrow the issue down to anything.
