okay so ive been playing on pc for about a year now and ever since endwalker has come out ive noticed a issue with final fantasy and recognizing controllers

i use several controllers and i only use controllers to play games

this is the windows version not steam version

what happens is it sees the controller and its fine but at random intervals it will say controller not detected and then after a few minutes it sees my controller and im fine but this impacts gameplay and makes it hard to actually play the game
i have submitted bug reports in game and nothing has changed

i have used the following
ps4 controller pluged in via usb
xbox one controller pluged in usb, bluetooth, and using the windows adapter for xbox
steel series duo pro
generic usb controllers

and this happens with every controller

im not sure whats going on but this is clearly a issue where people are reporting this on several forums including steam

i have 3 computers that i play the game on and all computers will do the same thing ONLY with final fantasy where it sees the controller but then randomly decides the controller isnt detectable anymore

this has only been a issue since endwalker patch was released
on shadowbringer it worked great and never had a issue

i have tried removing all controllers from bluetooth settings and device manager and only having 1 controller pluged in
issue still persists
ive tried fresh game installs even tried reinstalling windows 100%
ive tried different usb ports for controllers

at this point nothing i do will fix this issue and this game is now 100% unplayable for me as i cannot use keyboard and mouse and heavily rely on controller gameplay

this issue needs to be resolved and figured out as it impacts several players
