I'll reply as because i see you around on palamecia^^ I use the wirless 360 to play and all i did was configure it in the FFXIV config outside of the game and presto it works. Make sure to plug in the wireless adpater blah blah and it should either work right off or it will install the drivers for it to work, hit the big 360 button in middle to point it connects to wireless adapter and it should work. Also you can test it out in the XIV config before you launch the game.

PS make sure you enable the controller in the config of XIV also

I'll have to try alt-tabbing out when I go afk, Thanks.

Also if you already own a Xbox 360 wireless controller and just need the adapter for your PC, you can find them cheap on ebay.

Are you talking about your Xbox wireless? Or one that you picked up that is specificly made for PC?

I tried to use my 360 controller a couple years ago(using the charging cord plugged into USB), but it never worked.
I went to best buy and for $60 bucks you get one that has a wireless adapter that plugs into the USB. But for the above mentioned reasons...I switched over to corded and never looked back.

It works if you just have the charging station usb cord, well it does on win7 soon as you plug it in it's installs the drivers for it.

Hi Joshua. Just letting you know it's a design of the wireless gamepad itself as this issue can occur in Vindictus, Dynasty Warriors 6, Warriors Orochi Z, and when using Pinnacle GameProfiler for application-specific settings.

And I thank you for creating this thread as I may have inadvertently used a workaround and wondered why the gamepad was working when I came back.

IF your really concerned about the controller disconnecting while it sleeps contact Square Enix about it....there is also a lengthy thread about this in the Japan forums.....

Because I exclusively use this controller for all my games and FF I sent SE a ciustomer complaint on it, many have said
that it did work initially but it's probably something that they changed in the FF Config program they just need to fix it.

All the games, yes ALL the games that I play you can reconnect the Pad by just pressing the X...except for this game, it's very annoying.

Alt-tab will still crash the game, even in windowed mode last I checked. Just click outside the game window w/ the mouse.
