Controller Problems

I stopped playing around the holidays last year and just came back. The only thing that has changed about my laptop since then is I upgraded to a 1 TB SSD and got myself Windows 10. I've played FF11 across Windows 7,8, and 10. In 7 and 8 after installing FF11 I would go into FF11 config and then to gamepad settings click on enable gamepad and then assign my buttons and calibrate my movement, camera, and menu controls and I be good to go. But now?

Holy crap I spent a day trying to get my controller that worked before to work. I wound up having to update my controller's driver to one from 2009 in order to get it to work right and that's only if I select xinput. If I try to configure anything but button assignment it won't work example movement, camera, menus. I also tried to use some other controllers too like my PS4 and XB1 and had to fight FF11 config to get those to work right when they worked fine before. Is this a new issue or something I was just lucky to avoid until now?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

So I think SE messed something up. Or it could be an issue with windows 10. All the controllers I have work with no problems in all my other PC games and XIV. But they will not work in XI, partially work, or just work but with glitches. The only one that works with no issues is my xbox one controller and my logitech wireless gamepad F710 but only when its set to D input and X input. SE please fix this. Thank you

if you have a ps4 controller it works good.

How? I'm using ps4 controller with ds4windows and I can't get the darned thing to function correctly. can anyone help?

Did you ever get this fixed? im using ds4 on windows with native support and ingame the buttons are screwed up and wont work correctly

I had a similar problem when I came back to the game in February. For me, I had to stop using Windower. Apparently that was causing all the problems.

I'm also having controller issues, has anyone figured anything out?

I found that if you don't have ActiveX installed you need to uninstall ffxi completely install ActiveX then reinstall ffxi as pol will not see ActiveX if installed after ffxi
