Wiimote disconecting when game starts up

[MegaTrainFan]

I've got a small problem. My Wiimote Plus does connect properly to my system. But when I start up a game it automaticly disconnects. I can still pair the wiimote. But it will disconnect in an instant when a game is running.

Any idea why this is happening?

To answer your question we need a few answers first:

1. In what way are you connecting the Wii-mote to your computer? By using Bluetooth Passthrough or Real Wiimote?
2. How does it disconnect? By turning off the Wii-mote entirely or do you get the yellow text saying Wiimote disconnected?
3. What game are you trying to play? does it also happen in other games?
4. Does pressing ALT+F5 (for Wii-mote 1, or F6-8 for Mote 2-4) while in game work?

1. Bluetooth, Using the real remote button. I have a Wiimote Plus.
2. I get the Yellow text
3. It used to be normal. Dolphin started doing this 2 days ago.
4. Pressing ALT+F5 conects it. But disconects if just less then a millsecond later.

Try setting up Bluetooth passthrough as it is generally more stable and compatible.

Okay. I'll try!
