Final Fantasy XIV freezes all controller input while it is checking if a controller or any device was plugged in or taken out. Unfortunately this also happens every time a device in Windows is added or removed, no matter if it's a controller, generic hardware device, even if windows just checks to see if there's a new device, or even virtual device/disk.

Every time this happens controller input would be continuous without pressing anything (2.0-4.0), freezes for about 1-2 seconds (4.0-6.0) and now, the game freezes for a split second. This is especially annoying when using Game Pass since Windows randomly adds and ejects virtual drives for Game Pass games. The issue can be replicated by plugging in or unplugging any device. Please, fix it SE!
