I use a 360 wired controler and have had the game drop it a few times since the new patch.

Total loss of control in the game for it, but the big X button still causes the popup for windows help, so I know it's still being seen by the PC, just not FFXIV. The mouse and keybord still work fine too.

Seems to come back after a bit except the last time when I used it to log out and drop to the character select screen where it just stopped working all together (except the big X button as usual) I tried for about 10 minutes to get it working again to finish up and exit the game and gave up and used the mouse, then tried the pad again on the start menu screen, but no luck.

It works fine in the config for the control pad. I play in windowed mode and have never had it happen before the last update at all. I have it set to work even if the window is not the selected one at the time as well.
