Gamepad on PC...

[Krotoan]

well, that doesn't make sense... i have changed absolutely nothing on my PC since last playing this game before Shadowbringers. so... if nothing changed on my end and i am using the exact same configurations... then how is it possible that is has anything to do with me? it isn't. Square Enix changed something. i hope they fix it soon T_T

the fact of the matter is, using the exact same configurations should yield the exact same results. since nothing changed on my PC, the only possible explanation is that something in the game changed.

Does it make more sense that multiple people here have experienced no noticeable change yet you specifically are reporting problems? Without being able to duplicate this problem on other systems the problem points to your setup. It's not your FAULT, but evidence points to it being your problem and not SE's.

i find it extremely difficult to believe that people don't notice the slower camera movement in the diagonal directions. the camera used to move at the same speed regardless of where you moved the analog stick. but now, for example, if i am holding straight all to the right and start to move upwards the camera move speed will slow down. it will speed back up after exiting the diagonal area.

Valve was of zero help in recovering my controller profile for this game. they flat out told me it was impossible because the game is no longer available through STEAM. ( i am 100% certain that the game is still available through STEAM ) SE won't be able to help either, they will just move it to the not enough information area. it isn't possible for me to provide anymore information. they changed something and they know it... if they don't want to fix it then i guess controller will just be ruined for me. congrats to those who don't notice the change.

regardless, your controller ID never changes. even if you reinstall windows, it doesn't change. for example, i can take my xbox one controller on to a different PC and with my STEAM account it will load the configs. i can have two seemingly identical Xbox one controllers and STEAM will load the profiles on a per controller basis.

even after hours of reinstalling the game... even after deleting the game folder from documents to reset everything back to default... i have tried updating bluetooth drivers, and even tried older bluetooth drivers. with, or without STEAM... nothing seems to be fixing this.

regardless. STEAM shows my configuration for the game proper after installing from a Heavensward disc. but after updating the game to Shadowbringers, STEAM wipes it back to default. not now, because i have already been configuring trying to adjust to the changes without luck. but point is, STEAM is showing two different sets of configurations for the game based on either HW or SB. that in of itself is impossible for me to do. the ONLY possible way for that to happen is for Square Enix to change something.

record the footage and post it online for us to see then?

And this is because none of us are noticing it, because we're not having that problem. Why would we lie? Believe me, I would LOVE to +1 your complaint and help if it was happening but the only problem I have right now is my old elite controller has a loose stick that makes me walk sometimes when I want to run. using a different controller fixes this.

all we can say is that we (the people replying to you in this thread) have not experienced the problem. Have you tried to contact SE technical support? This forum is mostly for general conversation and probably not gonna get you a lot of technical help.

I have noticed no changes. What are you talking about?

EDIT: This may be a steam thing then. I use a straight FFXIV client.

It's not. I use steam and there have been zero changes.

This is so odd, I use a controller on PC as well, and have been since ARR beta and I haven't experienced the issue your describing, even after updating for Shadowbringers (Using PC launcher, and not through Steam). Even went through the patch notes and the current issues sections in them to make sure nothing changed for controllers, and for sure there has not been.

You say your using the same controller you have always used, and it isn't Steam that's the issue. Have you tried playing other games that allow you the same freedom with the camera and tried to replicate the issue? Maybe it isn't Steam or FFXIV, but your controller that's wonky.

Years (or months, depending on how cheap a controller you get) of wear, tear, drops and constant use can start causing issues. If your controller also has a App or program that operates it, then maybe you can check the settings and adjust things so it's back to normal.

Just some thoughts.

source is actually playing the game. you seriously telling me you don't notice the camera movement is slower when moving on diagonal directions as opposed to moving vertical and horizontal?

it used to be the same exact speed regardless of what direction you are moving the camera. the way it is now can't be tolerated. there must be a way to fix this. ><

I just checked it and it's literally same for me? Also I play Steam version through steam so it's not Steam problem either.

Did you try using another gamepad for checking if there isn't a problem actually in the device itself?

Been using an Xbone controller on PC for quite some time and it's working the same as ever. Maybe try disconnecting and reconnecting and rebooting. Maybe nothing has changed, but that doesn't mean there isn't a glitch on your side.

SE 100% changed the controller settings specifically for you, and nobody else, because they hate you.

Wait, you haven't played the game since HW?
You haven't played the game for over 2 years, but claim that not only are you certain that the controls are different, 2 years apart, but that nothing has changed on your computer, in 2 years?
