Game Freezes When Controller is Plugged In
Hello,
This issue began on 3/16, I believe after an automated Windows update installed overnight.
When playing on PC using a controller connected via USB, the game will immediately blackscreen and crash when launched. I am able to launch the game without a controller plugged in, but as soon as one is plugged in in-game, it will also freeze and crash. It is a CTD (crash to desktop) with no error popup. In addition, bringing up Task Manager, an instance of XIV will be running as a background process and it can't be force ended, only a restart of my PC will get rid of it.
We have attempted:
Rolling back Windows updates
Updating all drivers
Deleting and reinstalling the game
The only thing that allows me to launch and play at all is disabling DirectX 11 and playing on DirectX 9, which of course comes with its own host of issues - I was able to get through a trials roulette smoothly but I cannot go to any populated area or the game will crash.
I am nearly at my wits end and am contemplating a full reinstall of Windows as I have yet to find a true solution to the issue.
