Now, I know this topic has been mentioned before and Ive read the other threads regarding this issue and have found a workaround solution but I feel as though I shouldn't have to disable "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator" to get my controller to function properly. Also the threads I read are from 2014 and there's still not a real fix for this?
After just re-subbing for the latest expansion, this issue has made my experience irritable, especially when fighting any raid boss. Losing the ability to properly control my character at a critical moment in raid is very bothersome.
Any help or information regarding a different/actual fix will be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
The primary cause of this issue seems to be related to Device Enumerator refreshing while playing the game. Normally, this will only refresh when a USB device is removed or plugged in. If this is happening without you intentionally doing one of those actions, then something else is causing this to refresh. Try removing any USB device that is not your mouse/keyboard and your controller.
We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV! -

I think i got the same problem, really funny if you are in a raid fight and you are walking towards the edge when this bug happens
It wakes you right up.
wonder if a bluetooth dongle for the controller would help? -
07-24-2019, 08:29 PMAezaeoThe only thing I have plugged into my PC is my Mouse/Keyboard, Headset, and controller so I think that rules that out. Also disabling Device Enumerator got rid of my DLNA devices but while im playing my DLNA devices are off so I don't know how it could be that. Some more help will be greatly appreciated.Quote:

I had a similar issue years ago. A Windows background process was stealing focus, despite the game appearing to still be front and center in full screen. There's an option (System Config > Controller I think) that says something about using the controller when the game is inactive, check that box.
-
07-25-2019, 04:14 AMAezaeoInterestingly enough I always have to recheck that option upon every game restart, for some reason that's the only setting that doesn't save for me. Again, I have that option checked when the issue occurs so that's not a fix, at least for me. So far the only fix is to disable the Device Enumerator, but as I said, one shouldn't have to disable windows services to get a game to function correctly. And since SE is aware of the issue, one would think after four years they'd have a solution.Quote:

I'm using a Nintendo Switch pro controller and it works like a charm 95% of the time.
Although on some days it disconnects for a few seconds (I hear the 'you unplugged something' noise coming from my PC, although I didn't?)
And on other days it stays connected the whole time I play so it seems to be... random?
I haven't found a solution for my problem and I don't think it's Pro controller related; I triple checked all steps and Steam is not the issue either.
Since I'm curious, where can I find / disable this device enumerator? I might disable it if I can't find a different solution. -

I use a Logitech F310 controller. Up until last week I had no issues what so ever... Now, my controller doesn't work at all... I have tried every hack and fix I can come up with and find with Google-foo and nothing has worked... I know this has to be a square-enix issue because I can get on any other games (such as ESO) and my controller works great! But my game of choice is FFXIV, so please help so I can get back to gaming! Thanks!

Thank you for the reply,
I apologize for the delay in our response to your concern. Could you try updating the drivers for the controller?

It took me years to realise that the official XBOne and PS4 controllers have the same intermittent connection issue because they both use the flawed micro usb type connector. It very slightly becomes loose over time and eventually 100% of those pads end up suffering the loss of connection intermittently if used wired. If you connect to them wirelessly they do fine, using an official dongle or other bluetooth adapter.
However they both also have other issues... the XBO buttons wear out, the PS4 sticks wear out and stop responding eventually. I see the build quality issues accelerated because I play excessively. I wonder if it's planned obsolescence because I never had issues with the previous 30 years of console generations. Controllers used to be 0% failure rate and then suddenly it went to 100% in the latest gen. It's not so simple to just go back to an X360 pad because those have the horrible circular rocker style dpads, and 3rd party pads have their own issues. -
08-14-2019, 07:37 AMAezaeoI've done everything from uninstalling drivers and "re-downloading" and installing the latest drivers to reinstalling xbox game accessories app through windows store. The issue isn't the drivers and you know this. The issue is what was discussed in the OP. Final Fantasy XIV for some reason causes Microsoft Device Enumerator to refresh. Final Fantasy XIV had me thinking my controller was broken but it isn't. This issue only occurs with Final Fantasy XIV and no other game. And as was mentioned before, my controller actually works with Final Fantasy XIV so long as I disable Microsoft Device Enumerator.Quote:

This issue is 5 years old now and the fix wasn't even one from the source as far as I could tell but rather from the community. Also, the amount of time it took for you to respond to me with "Try updating your drivers" is bothersome.
I'm forced to disable services on my Operating System of which I am unaware the repercussions of doing so just so that I can enjoy a game I pay monthly for. -

Thank you for the reply Aezaeo.
I understand the issue that you are having and that it may seem that the game is causing it. However, if the Device Enumerator is refreshing at times when it shouldn't, it indicates that this component is malfunctioning and inadvertently affecting the game. Due to the variability of the PC platform, it's difficult to determine exactly what is causing it. However, due to the vast number of players relative to the number of reports about this issue, it seems unlikely to stem directly from the game engine. Do you have any wireless connections to your PC that could be causing this? Do you have any other programs or processes open that could interfere with it?
Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums. -

As for wireless connections to my pc, I do have a Google Chromecast but that isn't active when the controller loses connection, i.e. I'm not casting anything while I play the game. Apart from that, as I said before, Final Fantasy XIV is the only game that gives me this controller issue.Quote:

I would suggest having the team look at this issue instead of passing it off to the user, I've read other threads in regards to this same issue and it's always the same response from the support. You've offered no real solution and I get that it's a problem which is hard to pin-point but the fact of the matter is, it's been 4+ years and people are still having this issue albeit a small percentage of your player base but the issue still stands. I ask that you please have your tech team look further into this. I can play other games with my exact same pc setup, same processes running, same drivers installed, etc. etc. and have no controller issues. So why only when playing Final Fantasy XIV do the controller issues occur, must be on my end right, doesn't really make sense. And it very well could be on my end i'm not denying that but it's supports job to guide me through a fix and I said before disabling Windows Operating Services doesn't really seem like an actual fix, it's more like a band-aid to a problem that hasn't been properly addressed or resolved by the development team.
I apologize if I sound rude, believe me I'm not trying to be. I just would like for the issue to not be swept under the rug because a small amount of controller users are only affected by it. Again, I posted my system info before so if you need to look though anything to give me more insight I'd appreciate the help.
