Thank you for the reply amaranthus.

Does this same thing happen on any other controllers, or is that the only controller you have? When you ran the game through Steam, did you have any kind of controller configuration set up? If so, is is this Steam configuration always on, even if you aren't playing through the Steam launcher?

There are a couple things I'd like to test out:

First try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game.

Second, there is a Final Fantasy XIV folder in your 'My Documents' (My Documents > My Games > Final Fantasy XIV). Try deleting this folder. This is where your locally saved settings are stored so it will delete things like Gear Sets and Hot Bars, but if there is something in there that's causing this issue, then you may need to get rid of it. This folder is excluded when you reinstall the game so don't think you've already tried this step if you've already reinstalled.

If those don't solve the issue, I'd suggest filling out a bug report on the 'In-Game Bugs' forum here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...2-In-Game-Bugs

Be sure to follow the template as outlined in the sticky thread.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
