FFXIV Controller Unresponsiveness Bug

[Rejun]

I am having issues for my controller not working i tried different ones still same thing i try disabling the root emu thing in windows still nothing working. I need help with this and maybe a fix would help. Please

From what I can tell there is no fix. People seem to think it's an issue with the controller, but it's not. It's an issue with the game.

I have the same issue as well. I tried disabling the microsoft enumerator, but it did not resolve the issue. I have tried with multiple ports on my PC (front and back) and with multiple controllers - PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox Series X, and Switch Pro Controller. I still get sporadic input lag. This does not occur on other controller supported games.

Greetings fellow Eorzean,

We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with controller lag on the game. Please reply back with the following information so we may further troubleshoot the issue:

Platform (Steam/Mac/Windows):
Any error message(s) received?
Wired or wireless connectivity for controllers:
Are you using a bluetooth dongle via USB 2.0 or 3.0 or on built into the motherboard with a bluetooth card?
Connected devices to the computer when using the controller:
Are you using multiple controllers when doing this?
Do you have any other games or layouts running when playing the game such as Steam, Discord, etc?
Does your connection dip or is the lag related to the connection to the server/internet rather than actual input lag?
Wired or wireless internet:
Internet Service Provider:

We look forward to your reply back.

I've found that Steam sometimes overrides my controller settings and causes it not to be recognized properly in XIV. Closing Steam fixes it.

Also, under the the controller settings in the game it will sometimes list the same controller more than once. Changing to one of the other options will work for me.

For reference I use an XBOX One Controller (Bluetooth and/or plugged in).
