First of all, I have an offical wiimote, official nunchuk and a third party sensor bar that I know works due to checking the IR lights with a camera.
When playing any game that involves moving the cursor around the screen (currently playing SMG2), initially when starting up and playing it works flawlessly: smooth and precise. After 5-15 minutes (sometimes up to an hour) the cursor begins to jerk around its position, the cursor symbol rotates of its own volition and the icon jumps between responsiveness and non-responsiveness very quickly. This problem is made more evident in that the wiimote also vibrates quickly on and off to indicate that the wiimote appears to be quickly losing and gaining the sensor bar signal (of IR lights).
This quirk is particularly frustrating in a game such as SMG2, as clicking buttons and collecting star bits becomes hit-and miss and very irksome.
What stands out to me is that my setup works perfectly for at the very least 5 minutes, occasionally up to an hour every time until this problem occurs. I have no doubt that my wiimote functions correctly, my sensor bar IR lights are not flickering, and i am situated at the optimum distance. Replacing the batteries on the wiimote and IR bar do not solve the issue. If it were a hardware issue such a problem would persist right from the start of the game I would think. I have set the IR sensitivity to every level and it has not improved.
Has anyone else come across this quirk and can recommend any solutions?
P.S I reiterate, fresh batteries, IR bar tested as working, wiimote solid bluetooth connection to PC, the problem is an eventual erratic communication between wiimote and IR bar, after working perfectly for between 5-60 minutes.
