FFXIV won't detect controller inputs on PC most of the time. Part 2.

[LuckShance]

I use an 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ with the 8BitDo Wireless Adapter.

My PC detects the controller, and I can use it in the start menu and other games perfectly fine.

FFXIV however also detects the controller but no input seems to work from it the vast majority of the time. Occasionally I boot up the game and it works, but most of the time no input is doing anything. Gamepad is enabled, and it even shows up on the dropdown menu, but no dice.

Sometimes it works if I change the Steam Input Per Game setting to Forced On. Then it'll work.... once. Then the next time I play, it doesn't work again, even though the setting is still on. I have to launch the game, see it doesn't work, change to Forced Off, close the game, launch it again, change back to Forced On, close the game, launch it again. Worse now is the fact that even this isn't working half of the time.

The controller is in X-Input mode, and all other games recognize it as an X-Input controller. I wasn't having any issues with it really until 5.2's release.

Is there anything I can do?

The original thread was closed because I had thought I resolved the issue when I reinstalled Windows and my controller was working again. But I'm already back to having this same issue with the game not detecting my controller but everything else is.

Edit: Now it's working again.
This is very inconsistent.
I feel very embarrassed for opening this thread again. But at the same time I doubt it won't come back again. But its inconsistency is making it very hard to troubleshoot.
