New NVIDIA driver 11/27, better performance!

After trying 3 different controllers my wife finally gave up on using a controller with ARR because it was never stable no matter what we tried. Any other game it was fine, just had no joy with ARR.

The PC wasn't stable while using a controller or the game didn't like the controllers?

For both Judge_Hellboy and Vanidin, if you're getting a BSOD with a USB controller, I would recommend trying out all the USB ports on your PC and see if any of those are stable without the problem.

A couple of days ago I wanted to use the USB ports on the front of my PC for something else, so I plugged the receiver for my wireless Xbox 360 controller into an open USB port on the back... after about an hour I started getting BSOD. After that, every time I started up FFXIV it would BSOD straight away, but it was stable in any other game that used the controller... It turns out that the drivers for those ports or the ports themselves are bad, so I switched to a different hub and now I can play without issue again.

For PC controllers I would recommend either a Wireless Xbox360 controller for Windows or a Wired Logitech Gamepad F310 (possible to plug and play, no drivers needed for the F310). Both of these controllers work perfectly for me in FFXIV and other games.

*EDIT*

I just had a test trial with some of my family members where I asked them, "Which of these controllers could you see yourself using for hours?" and presented them with a Dualshock3 (you can use this with a PC but it requires some setup), a Wireless Xbox 360 controller for Windows, a Logitech F310 (This is almost exactly like a PS2 controller, with a few differences), and a modded Xbox controller.

3/4 of them said they liked the F310 best, while my brother liked the Xbox 360 controller more.
