Game-pad and FFXiPadConfig not working correctly

[YosemiteYogorockBlondelle]

Having identical issue, as described above. Bump for hope of attention and hopefully a quick fix

I don't play with a controller but I was wondering if this still occurs even with putting in the check box/command to leave the controller settings as always active while ffxi and pol viewer are not active, if this very same thing is still occurring with that set in place too??

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:

1. Go into the FFXI folder AND the ToolEU (US if you're american) subfolder
2. Backup the xinputdll.dll file in each of those folders
3. Delete the 2 files
4. Load the FFXI Pad config application
5. Select "Default" preset
6. Proceed to re-set all the buttons and sticks the way you want them
7. 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

Also let me remember for the second time the JP post where they talk about the same issue as us.
We cannot post in the JP forum (first time I notice we cannot post there, lol!) but we can "like" the posts.
Go there and "like" the first post to give it higher visibility please!

That is unusual. I wonder if JP accounts can no longer post to the EN forums as well. I used to post here from my JP account before it got converted to an NA one, and I posted help requests on the JP forum as well. I've seen some bilingual JP forum users come to post responses to us here as well. It makes no sense to have both languages of forum visible if we're not allowed to contribute to both, and there are plenty of bilingual people on both sides of the forum. That must have been a fairly recent change.

The reply button is gone, but the Reply with Quote is not, it just leads to an error saying that you don't have permission to access the page.

I would also like to report that I am having the same issue. I am using the European Steam version of FFXI for reference purposes. I have, as others have tried, to edit the three configurations to no avail.

Same exact problem, here's waiting for a fix!

Zhronne's workaround worked perfect for me, I can use my old controls again.

I get the same problem. I been using the PS2/XB360 layout for the US since I started playing, hard to play it another way.
I dont understand why they had to hard code it into that DLL. I mean come on with FFXIV you can change the controller layout while in the game and have most take effect without restarting it.

Id say the problem is the 1 and 4 buttons are arseways in the xinput config file. Noticed 1 and 4 were showing up reversed on the config setup menu as well even tho on the windows config they were in the right place.
