For who is interested, atm I found a way for a "temporary fix".
Before this patch I used my Xbox360 controller without the triggers (they didn't work), and I had manually mapped CTRL and ALT macros to the left and right bumpers, and autorun on "start" in place of the "logout" function.
How to reactivate such a setup with the current problem?
Follow these steps:
- Go into the FFXI folder AND the ToolEU (US if you're american) subfolder
- Backup the xinputdll.dll file in each of those folders
- Delete the 2 files
- Load the FFXI Pad config application
- Select "Default" preset
- Proceed to re-set all the buttons and sticks the way you want them
- Exit and save
Success! You have now reactivate the pad config situation you had before the patch.
Now of course this is only a
temporary solution until SquareEnix release an updated and fixed version of their xinputdll.dll, but until then it works good for me :)
