My controller drops connection every so often, for 4-5 seconds. This happens no matter:
1)Which controller I use (I own several, all Microsoft PC game controllers)
2)Whether I use it in Bluetooth mode or wired
This does not happen with any other games that I play.
I have read that this is a problem with how both FFXI and FFXIV handle Windows 11 polling for new devices. I uninstalled all my Oculus software (a known cause of frequent device polling) but it still happens. If I leave the Device Manager window open on a second screen I can see this happening: the DM shows the polling happen, and FFXI loses the controller for a few seconds.
