Xbox Series X controller issues

[Wyakin]

2022 and still the xbox series X controller does not work via bluetooth. Is there an update to when this will be resolved or looked into? Short version, upon logging in the buttons aren't calibrated correctly or mapped correctly. Upon using the in game calibration the right stick wanders around with a ghost stick drift and pressing both triggers together yields nothing.

Good afternoon! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Does occur on the Windows version of Final Fantasy XIV or he Steam version. In addition, does it help if the blue tooth drivers have been uninstalled and reinstalled?

I have similar issues with the Xbox 360 wired controller too. I suggest searching Reddit for things to try, however if they don't work then you're out of luck.

SQEX have not improved controller support materially since 2013, they don't give a toss about controller support otherwise these issues would have some decent solutions over the years.

This is not a driver issue, this is an FFXIV issue. The xbox one controller works fine via bluetooth, however the xbox series X (the newest model) does not. It does however work via USB-C wired usage, but upon plugging it in FF14 thinks its a totally different model. to summarise, FF14 does not support the newest model of controllers via bluetooth, this is not my computer, this is 100% your end. Please could this be looked into. PS: its on the windows version, not steam.

I'm also experiencing this issue. :[ Is there still no fix? The workaround I've been able to use for now is booting up Steam and running FFXIV as a non-steam game (I have the Launcher version, not the Steam version of FFXIV, btw) But it's still frustrating that I have to do this to play. It completely remaps the controller. It recognizes it as a bluetooth controller instead of Xbox One X.

I just noticed this issue was finally fixed. No idea when it happened, but haven't seen any mention of it anywhere so I'm saying something now.
I've been using my xbox series controller with a wireless USB adapter the entire time but now I can finally just use bluetooth! Ty devs for the fix!
