Suddenly my controller has random unresponsive moments?

[AkumaTenshi]

I am having this issue too (and works in other games as well fine) but could you do me a favor to confirm something I been thinking.

Can you keep Computer Management > Devices open and when it becomes unresponsive, have a quick look to see if the controller disconnected and reconnected (it should refresh the device section).

I'm just now finally able to play again after a very busy work-weekend, So I'll log in now to see if that's a issue.
Is there anything I need to look out for aside from the blinking? (as in, is there a certain thing i need to look out for? )

Thank you nevertheless for the pointers in the right direction, Reading this did make me realize that sometimes my controller has 2 issues at a certain point, but these only (sadly) occur during playing FFXIV
*Either the Controller "loses" it's connection from P1 and after a brief moment shifts to the P2 slot
*Or it switches from P1 to a entire green ring in the middle of my controller and takes a long time to reconnect at all.

I'll open up the device manager during the time i play (although I'll have about a hour left to play before I really need to hit the fleabunk)
I'll keep everyone posted in here!

PC master race, huh? Get a PS4!

All kidding aside, I found an old forum thread that might help you get closer to finding a solution. Scroll down to the final post in this thread:

Good luck!

Hahaha, I knew it'd be posted at some point!

Indeed, that's a forum thread I've read in it's entirety to look for solutions, which someone was on a crusade to fix said issues.
I did took a look at the last post of that thread, but as an atechnical person, I have only slight Idea's of what he's talking about O-o'

And I think it's also in synch with what snat posted above?

I'll keep my controller Disconnectivity status updated here; pray it gives some sort of software-feedback!

Thanks for pointing the link out for those chasing the same solution!

I've been having this same exact issue for quite some time as well and only with FFXIV too for me as well and same with trying outer controllers i started out with wireless ps4 controller tried wired xbox controller and now im using an xbox one because several people had told me it might be a compatibility issue with ps4 controllers on windows but that doesnt seem to be the case because again works fine with all other games literally every single other steam game thats in my library works just fine, but FFXIV nope I got kicked from a Sophia group the other day as a result of the issue because i walked right off the ledge before i regained control of my character I don't have a solution i just wanted to let you know your not alone, i might actually try putting in a support ticket for it because idk what else to do

That's the entire deal for me too, in my case I did use Xbox360 controllers which should be supported by Microsoft. (I even have, by excessive amounts of googling, found a way to look if i had the most up to date drivers ((once again, i really, really lack technical knowledge))

But both mine and my sis's controller both have the same connectivity issues.
Nor does this issue happen at any other game which basically leads me to believe it is truly something related to FFXIV's software, but I wonder what changed from the 3.4 patches to the 3.5 patches as that's the moment things started to get awry for me.

But right now I'm sticking (gameplay wise) to either PotD, small dungeons with Guildmates or just crafting since I don't wanna be a bigger burden to alliances running raids than I already am xD
