Xbox Series X|S controller issues on PC (non-Steam)

[KyoPepu]

Out of curiosity, since you mention 'Steam games', have you tried wrapping FFXIV in Steam (even if you don't use the Steam version)? If you have the Steam overlay up, and enable the Xbox Controller Configuration option, it should grab the controller, read it, and export a virtual controller (i.e., one generated entirely in software) that will show up as a generic Xbox controller that FFXIV will be able to use.

Thank you, Packetdancer. This did work for me. I registered "ffxivboot64.exe" as a non-steam game and now in the game I can pull RT and LT at the same time!

And to TheodoreWaffles,
I was just saying that the issue looks complex, maybe its not as simple as we think.
So please calm down.


Here is my assumption(just assumption, please don't take this seriously).
Xbox Series X controller had a problem that it was recognized as a directinput controller or something via bluetooth connection.
And the dev team was waiting for Microsoft to fix the problem (Since they say that they only support Xinput controller).
Maybe other platforms and games like Steam or Origin had already supported directinput controller or something, that's why the controller works fine with other games.
And if my assumption was true, there would be nothing they can say to us except very simple instruction like re-install or update driver.
Because saying "This is because Microsoft driver is malfunctioning." without their confirmation could lead them to court sometimes. (This kind of problem happens every engineering companies...)
