Controller becoming unresponsive periodically

[crc0427]

Find the thread with the port forwards. That fixed the controller issues for me.

I am also having this issue, although it only started appearing its ugly head just recently after the latest major patch. The peculiar thing is that it happens to my PC as well as my wifes PC at the exact same time. Have tried the port forwarding indicated in the earlier posts for one of our machines, tried going off router and a single machine direct to modem, same problem exists. Because it happens to both of our PCs at the exact same moments, I would imagine that it must be on the SE side. We had wireless previously, but switched to Wired controllers since we thought it may have been an interference issue. No dice, wired controller has the same problem. This is a major issue for us. Hopefully they can address it soon.

I found that if I unplug and then replug that same Snakebyte controller, it starts behaving again, so I stopped resetting the power options in Device Manager (even though that worked for me). Was a lot faster to just pull it, wait for the disconnect sound from Winblows, then plug it right back in. YMMV though.

Is anybody still having this problem? I've tried updating gamepad, as well as the rest of the drivers on my PC, rebooting, changing to windowed from fullscreen, making sure contacts are clean, changing controllers and making sure they work in other games and on the xbox. FFXIV is the only game that the controller becomes unresponsive. Is there something I haven't tried yet? I've noticed that some updates make this problem worse for a while.

It's because you aren't using a ps3 controller.....sony knows....they see all!
