Controller problem after 7.16 hotfix

I use an 8bitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller, in 2.4 GHz mode, connected wirelessly with the controller's dongle, on Windows 10. The controller has not worked correctly in XIV since the 7.16 hotfix maintenance & patch last week; most of the inputs either don't work or are treated as though they were other inputs. It worked fine before the 7.16 hotfix. It still works fine in other games and in this gamepad tester: https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad

I was able to test an Xbox Series X|S controller and it still works correctly in XIV.

Note: this controller has Nintendo labelling but I will refer to the buttons as though they had the XBox labels, since XIV behaves as though they do. For instance, the lowermost face button has a "B" printed on it but on an XBox controller it would be labelled "A", and it normally does all the things that the XIV interface indicates are done by the "A" button, so I will call it A.

Also, all my descriptions of moving my character are with legacy movement.

Currently the controller has the following behaviour in XIV:
- LB: behaves normally
- RB: behaves normally
- D-pad left: moves character left
- D-pad right: moves character right
- Right thumbstick tilted left: moves character away from camera
- Right thumbstick tilted right: moves character towards camera
- L3: A button effect, ie it does what the A button should do
- R3: B button effect
- View button: Y button effect
- Menu button: X button effect
- A: left trigger effect
- B: right trigger effect
- Y: R3 effect
- all other inputs: no effect

Usually yes, but I have now tried running Final Fantasy XIV and no other programs, and that did not cause any improvement

All characters, including characters on different data centres

I don't recall any, aside from the Final Fantasy XIV 7.16 HotFixes patch, and Windows update history doesn't list any

It happens in all three of these modes. I have now tried changing modes and then restarting the game; it didn't help.

I had previously tried restarting my computer; making sure the controller was on before starting the game; restarting the controller after starting the game; checking the connection of the controller's USB dongle; and adding the game to my Steam library as a non-Steam game and then running it through Steam. None of these helped.

It has now occurred to me that I haven't yet tried the "Restore Game Data" or "Reset System Settings" options in the launcher, so I will try those next.

If you haven't already, try closing Steam entirely or disabling Steam input. Even if you're not playing the game through Steam, it can still interfere with the controller's normal functions in XIV.

I usually have Steam closed entirely when I'm running XIV, but thank you for the suggestion!

Restore Game Data didn't help, but Reset System Settings fixed it!

Thank you for your help, I don't think I'd have considered that option if I hadn't been looking at the options to get the system report.

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

This thread will be moved to the 'Closed Concerns' sub forum as the issue has been resolved.
