Control pad fail.

[XyonicS]

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.

oh, ummm, random times between patch 1.19 being available and when I posted the OP, the last time was about 15 minutes before I posted about the issue, I think. I am in Australia so have no idea what the time was there.

2. Sometimes, total of about 5 times. Most only lasted between 5 seconds and 10 seconds, but the last time was from selecting log off in the menu until I gave up and used the mouse after trying every thing, including a ISP speed test.
As I said it never happened before the update.
One time was after fighting some giant crabs for a quest, after the fight I was waiting for my HP and MP to come back, so was not moving the control, once they were maxed I tried to move, but nothing worked on the controler, except the big X button, but the mouse and keybord worked, so was not a connection issue. I also switched to another controler the last time and still no luck. Just worried there may be a small bug got into the last update. I did use the new config program before ever running the game after the patch, just to make sure it was all set right.

If you need more info, just ask, I will help if I am able.
