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
Okay so I am having the same problem and another problem. The question I am about to ask is probably amazingly stupid. How do I find the FFXI folder that has the subfolder in it? I have searched for probably over an hour and cannot find the folder for it. All I get for results are the links to download/uninstall the program. I imagine this is an obvious answer and once someone tells me I will feel very stupid, but right now I am too frustrated to keep trying.
