Same Problem here. PC User with Logitech F710 Gamepad in XInput Mode.

Adjusting the Sensitivity to full (PC Only) is not a real Option. Camera Movement gets harder, and the character wont start moving until you reach the edge. Also my L2 Button (which cycles thru cross hotbars) often doesnt Register the Input.

A couple of my static members are having the same issue, please fix this ASAP.

I think that this is the thread I've been looking for, I noticed some weird slowdowns while moving my chocobo with controller on my PC. When I start moving it goes from slow speed like its walking into a running speed it's really annoying, it happened nearly all the time in a row. Like it happens 3-5 times, then one time the chocobo starts moving normally, and then again it happens for a few times.

My gamepad is Logitech F710 in x360 compatibility mode.

EDIT!: Ok Little correction, I have just noticed that this happens when I am off chocobo as well, while normally moving while not mounted :/

The development team is currently looking into this issue and the following is a comment from Hiroshi Minagawa.

Thank you for the report.
The lead is currently looking into this with the highest priority.

Movement with the gamepad stick is analog input, and compared to the digital movement from the keyboard, it will always relay a few frames of walking. Due to this, if you look extremely closely, while very, very slight, movement with the keyboard reaches full on running speed in a shorter time.

However, with the implementation of patch 2.38 the time it takes to reach running speed compared to patch 2.35 is a few frames longer. While no movement-related changes were made in patch 2.38, there was history of refactoring* of the pad input processing program, and as a result of this there is a high possibility that a bug was generated. We’ve begun to perform comparative checks by reverting back to the previous state on the development server.

Once we find out the cause I will be sure to make a follow-up.

*Revamping of implemented programs and rewriting processes to be quicker and more memory efficient.

I really hope this is fixed ASAP. I haven't played yet today, but for controller users, it sounds like a pretty game breaking issue.

Using Logitech Dual Action Gamepad (Model: G-UF13A)

My joystick movement for my character has a slight lag to it. It was strange doing Garuda Extreme mode I did it.

Good, fix it ASAP please, this is gamebreakig for gamepad users.

Moral of the History: don't fix what ain't broken... >.>
