Gamepad on PC...

[Commander_Justitia]

Try to calibrate your gamepad and check for the sticks consistency. After some time the motor units of sticks tend to get faulty. It wasn't clear if you experience the same issues with another,second controller.

Steam doesn't sell heavensward anymore, it's true, why would they. Shadowbringers includes all old addons.
Because you seem to use steam only for the configuration support of your controller, I would just recommend you disable the setting for that, its in big picture mode too. I think steam will try to prioritize their settings over yours if its active.
I had some problems myself with steam (eventhough I dont have ff14 connected to steam), when I had steam in the background open and then noticed controls changed slighty. I closed steam and it was back to normal.

Just disable and see what happens.

I play on Steam currently with a wired Xbox One controller. There has been 0 changes. If there were changes I would have noticed right away.

So salty when in fact nothing changed other than the wear on your actual game pad. They go bad, nothing new there. And occasionally need recalibrated. But you posting long posts on a feel that is clearly wrong means it’s on your end. You really think NOBODY would notice something like that?!?! Come on now...

Maybe there's something wrong with the controller itself? >x>
I've played on controller since I started in 2.0 (switching between a Wired Xbox and Wired Playstation controllers) and my controller's camera-rotation speed is the same as it was. :B
(Granted, I don't have a Steam version of the game)

Seems to be your issue, not SE's. I play on the controller on steam and nothing's changed for me.

I play on PC Steam version using a wireless XB1 controller and have noticed zero changes. It's likely either the settings or your controller itself wearing out.

Been playing since 1.19 with a variety of controllers on pc and never experienced the problem you are describing.

i haven't played the last 2 months, not 2 years. but yeah...

i have 2 xbox one controllers about 8 months old each. and have about 20+ games on PC installed, and manage controller configurations for them all through STEAM. (all except for Skyforge and MEmu) each and every one of those games have retained their configurations over these 8 months. when installing Heavensward from disc STEAM shows my old configuration, but after updating to Shadowbringer it changes over. i spent almost all fricken day recovering the config from HW to import to SB, only for it to be useless.

even without using STEAM, the controller behaves differently then before SB. and now last night i even re-installed Windows to try to fix this. using all the same drivers and everything the same from before SB launched something still has changed with controller.

in the game there is a sensitivity setting in system config. all this setting does is adjust the dead zone. (the setting actually seems counter intuitive) at 0 it almost completely eliminated the dead zone, or at least it used to. before SB i could set it to 0 and the controller would fine. in fact, i could even apply anti-dead zone through STEAM and still not have drift. but now in SB setting it at 0, and without anti-dead zone, causes a drift. :$ :$ :$



no matter what i try there doesn't seem to be any fix. funny how controller works exactly the same for everything else on the PC and every other game. funny how the ONLY game for it to behave differently in is FFXIV. if Square Enix didn't change anything, then what? it just doesn't make sense. :$ :$ :$

Well, then I think it's a matter for tech support to handle, not general discussion, unless some other player has your issue as well and maybe know more about what's going on. Hope you can get it resolved.

2 months ago was Stormblood (SB)
We are now in Shadowbringers (ShB)

Heavensward was 2 years ago.
