It seems that there have not been any further posts about this concern being an ongoing issue. Because of this, we are considering it to be resolved. If this does continue to be a concern, please create another thread to further discuss resolutions or contact the Support Center at support.na.square-enix.com for assistance.


So yea. according to that these threads don't exist and your calls never happened. *sighs*

Same problem here since 2.1 exactly. This is on an XBOX wired controller where randomly my character goes in autorun. I can get control back by running in the opposite direction. I have a feeling its related to adjusting the camera distance using LB1 + Right Stick

The issue Perpixel brings up seems to be pretty much felt by everyone regarding the new more "sensitive" autorun. Do you also just have "dead" times when none of your inputs are recognized or you cant change direction even when hitting LB?

Correct. I have auto ran, froze, had my controller spam up up up up up or enter enter enter enter. all problems seems to happen at the exact same time as my husbands controller acts us even when we are 5 hours apart. all also seem to last for about 4-6 seconds and can end up not happening again for a hf hr or as soon as 10 seconds after. Ive looked into everything.. Ive changed things, modified things followed other game advice for lag and controller issuies. Tried different controllers, different Pc's and win 8, 8.1 and 7 with no avail.. It's sad as this was never a problem in 1.0 and only seems to happen on certain maintenance.

I have experience the same issues everyone has mentioned on this thread so far. Never had this problem until 2.15 update. Playing with a third party wired xbox controller and I am on Window 8.0 OS.

But mine are different .. my controller works fine in everything except the triggers, so no cross hotbar for me. Movement, camera, literally everything else is fine. Tried all the fixes you guys have. Controller was working just peachy before the 1-21-14 patch. So now I'm back to keyboard/mouse .. sigh .. controller was so much more fun.

Xbox controller doing that is weird. But ps3 or ps2 controller isnt legit compatable with PCs its not microsoft.. All of you ps3 controller users go out and get an xbox one.. By law microsoft doesnt have to make ps3 controllers work on microsoft thungs, and if you say you use a 3rd party program to get your stuff working you void any assistance from tech support because you should know better

So yeah, any support person every actually read these forums, or...?

Stumbled on this problem today when setting up a new Snakebyte PS3 wired controller on my laptop and may have found something that may help some of you guys out. The thing was only $15 at Walmart, so I had to try it... and sure enough it works without having to use MotionJoy or any other modded XB drivers in Win8... but did run into one glitch.

When trying to calibrate the analog joysticks in the Devices and Printers control panel (right click game pad icon, click game controller settings, go to properties for the controller, Settings Tab, and start calibration), it would stop tracking the movement periodically while spinning the left stick. The crosshairs would sometimes just stall for a second here and there. The same thing happened on the Z axis and Rotation phase--one time it didn't even track a button press. It did this on all but ONE USB port--the one with the quick-charge option. 4 USB 3.0 ports on this beast, and the only one it would work properly on was the one that provides quick-charge support, and has a BIOS option to keep that one port powered on even when the system is suspended. It seems this one port sort of plays by it's own rules when it comes to it's power management... which brought me to test something I've run into in the past:

The Windoze Selective Suspend Service may be interfering with the polling of the controller input somehow. Not sure where the responsibility for this glitchiness would fall to... the vendors or Microsoft. But, is a common issue with mouse lockups that shows up on different forums. The work arounds that always come up is to disable the option to power down the inactive USB ports by going into Device Manager, expanding down to each of the USB hubs and going to their Power Management tabs. There is a regedit that can be made under the USB services section to disable the Selective Suspend Service, but in Win8 I don't see one single USB service, so not sure if that can be applied so simply.

Unfortunately, disabling the power save option for each USB entry in Device Manager didn't fix it... had to go one step further. Had to do it for the detected HID entry for the controller as well. Up near the top of the list in Device Manager, expand the Human Interface Devices and check for an entry for your game controller--disable the power save option there. In my case, it was simply listed as a USB Input Device. Note that you will need to do this for each port you routinely plug the controller into. It is possible it may loose the setting after a power down as well, so you may want to double check it if doing this resolves the issue and then it comes back.

Hope it helps some of you guys out. It seemed to be the fix for this controller at least.

Does anyone ever read the EULA...

If you look into it any mircosoft control pad made b4 a certian date doesnt have the same firmware in it. Thus when mircosoft update thete systems old tech is suddenly ancient tech


This is like gta5 all over again, there is a life for everything even if its still good after that used by date doesnt mean its correctly supported.... Ps3 users do no have this issue, ever! So it is probally the usb turning off functions, like the guy sad above me... But then no one reads a user manual either, a plug in and play device has defualt setting for USBs.. Ps3 controller when plugged into a usb Charger (lets say iphone charger plug) it doesnt charge... Now why is that? Bcus the thing its plugged into doesnt know how to charge it.. Yes shocking it has some type of brain..... Now take mircosoft and there EULA they do not.. I repeat Don't support 3rd party (logitech etc) or Sony control pads... Why, thats another story... FF14 is only on the Playstations, microsoft didnt want to give console infomatiom to another company...

3/4 of the posts in this thread are people complaining that there cheap 15 dollar 3rd party controller doesnt wprk... Well they shpuld of googled about control pads and PCs

And the people complaing for real probally have a USB issue where its getting turn off by the pc bcus ots full charge or not used for some time...

So yea, this is nothing tp do with SE, other than the fact that PS4 testing has started (for Se) so that might be why other 3rd party controllers are not handling it well... They are testing a lot bcus even tho its basically a ps3 to 4 copy an xbox1 or ps4 controller has an uptodate brain ypu could say, and just like most of the world we use digital tv, tho the analog we used too use is still there but the tech we have today cannot do anything with it bcus we have advanced past that stage





Oh gta5 problem I mean is ppl saying the game randomly restarts and crap... Its the CD drive and the only thing they can do is buy a new console or get thetes replaced.. But still to this day ppl are like, nar its fine its just that game... Its just that game bcus its a NEW GEN game
