This may be long. Maybe you seen something like this on reddit within the last few days (because I use that site, and asked there).
The TL;DR: I own 3 gamepads (controllers) and none of them will work INSIDE ffxi, except "rumble". Help?
Long version:
Windows 10
Gamepad/controllers: Logitech 310F, Gigaware gamepad (about 5yrs old, no Xinput jazz) and XBOX One WIRED controller. Also have a ps3 and ps4 controller, but have never connected them to my PC.
Gamer version: I installed through Steam, but I can also say that I did another install via NA's homepage.
-But Sand, all you have to do is open the FFXI Config, and set the controller up!
Yea...no. The controllers do nothing inside the Config. Direct Input, Xinput, Default, Option A through E. Nope nope nope.
I've uninstalled drivers, re-installed drivers. I've watched every video I can find.
Now I'm at a point were this is all SE end. What else do I try? DL? 3rd party? Eh?
So with all of this said, I can get 2 of the 3 controllers to work with POL. But when FFXI boots, bye bye.
Yes I have also went in to the FFXI folder to the Tools, NATools, and EuTools. Heck I've even deleted and replaced 2 of the 3, to see if it would force an option. Negative.
-Well Sand, are you sure they work?
Yes. I can play literally any game on my PC, that can use a controller, to work.
And the rumble part I said? Yea that is totally making me bonkers. No movement, no camera, no menu... but if I do manage to get into a fight...and well, that Gob that use to kill me back in the day, I visit him over and over. If he drops a bomb, my controller rumbles off the desk.
I just want to use the controls I know.
I miss you all.
Any one able to lend some light here?
