Can devs finally address the feature controller is having issues on PC.

Oh god, it's not filtering on device class? Not even restricting it even just to HID devices at the very least? That's...

Then yeah, the way Game Pass installs virtual storage volumes as individual freaking devices (I will spare you the rant about how it often mistakenly recreates ones that already exist, and then marks the devices hidden as well, until you have like 73 virtual storage devices in Device Manager that only appear when you enable "Show Hidden Devices") would absolutely wreak merry havoc with it.

Among more than a few other things.

(I have Opinions about how virtual devices are handled in Windows. They are not positive ones.)

It's those random virtual device reconnects caused by the GamePass system that causes the hickups, you can check the Windows Event Log, there are entries every time you get a controller timeout.

I've currently removed all GP games and also disabled the polling in the registry via this change:

Disabling "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator" under "Software devices" fixed the problem:

Device Manager > Software Devices > Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator

Not perfect, but works (GamePass is overrated anyway)

I try this it. It kinda didn't help much at all.

It only game I have issue with my wired controller. And I ask peeps who plays on pc with a controller have the same problem. The problem is the controller is not detected in a certain time randomly. This could happended like on mid pull of the fight. This is extremely frustrated to see this feature not work well. I really hope the devs will give a inspection on this feature.

I use a wired controller and haven't had any issues. Have you checked the wire? The wire itself might have a tear or a break so it just drops connectivity.

When the problem happens it happens to both wired and wireless controllers, I checked.

Hey, I was searching regarding this issue and wanted to say that I'm having it as well. Prior to Endwalker, I've never experienced any issues with any controller. I've used xbox360, xbox one, ps4, ps5, and logitech over the years of playing (I've been playing since ARR). Ever since Endwalker's release, I have been having issues with inputs suddenly being eaten, and the controllers I own all display this issue regardless of wired or wireless. I've checked all of my settings, I don't use Game Pass, and I don't have FFXIV through steam as I got it before that was even really an option. I would love for there to be some better support for controller because now it's starting to become unplayable. The intervals in time are random, and the period in which I cannot do anything is almost like having the paralysis status effect. Does anyone know if the addon actually addresses this problem? I have no issues with any other games on my PC. It's just FFXIV that seems to cause this problem, and because of that, I haven't been able to enjoy high end content due to the inability to keep up when these blips in functionality occur.
