Controller delay and FPS while playing on PC

[Mochi_Sharik]

Hi o/

I play FFXIV on a PC but I use a PS4 controller and within the last week I've had some weird issues that I have no idea how to fix or what started them. Theres been no windows updates and no graphic driver updates, and all of my hardware is up to date.

When using my controller, it sort of stutters sometimes, I make my character turn and she won't run, she starts walking, or she just auto runs for a few seconds and I can't stop her. when turning the camera or sometimes just randomly, I have frame drops, the system settings say it's only a drop of 5 frames but it feels like way more, I'm not sure if its tearing or what; I'm bad at computers.

So far I've disabled windows game mode and disabled root emulator and that hasn't helped. when i swap to keyboard and mouse, I have no issues with moving my character and theres only minor frame drops so I'm totally confused. I hardly run anything in the background but I have pretty good pc and it just makes no sense that it was running perfectly last week and now this week it's weird (This problem started before the patch yesterday). and I've done the generic restart everything, change the usb that the controller is plugged into etc and no luck.

My controller is 3 years old, and sadly I don't have a spare so I can't test it that way.

TLDR: character randomly walks or auto runs, the camera moves by itself, weird fps drop and just the controller isnt working properly, but it is fine in all my other PC games

Any help is welcomed as I'm seriously at a loss
