Thread: Controller not recognized after 7.1 update?

I can't speak for anyone else, of course, but I've restarted the game and my computer several times.

As mentioned in another thread

OS: Window 10 with current updates
Launcher: FFXIV Launcher, not Steam
Connection type: Bluetooth connection
PS4 Controller Model: CUH-ZCT1U and CUH-ZCT2U

- Both worked while still playing 7.0
- "Device Not Located" after 7.1 update
- Computer sees the controllers, other games see/use the controllers, FFXIV cannot see the controllers.
- Controller is detected while connected via USB, but my USB ports are broken so they don't keep connected... so I need the Bluetooth to work.
- PS5 controller (model CFI-ZCT1W) works just fine, Bluetooth and USB.

- I have also tried using a 3rd party exe to see if that would get it to work, DS4Windows - no change
- I should mention the exe was last used years ago before PS4 support was added native to many recent games
- Turned on/off Bluetooth on the computer - no change
- Unplugged and plugged back in the Bluetooth adaptor - no change
- Rebooted computer - no change

same here.. D:
anyone find a solution for it?

Having the same issue spent about 45 minutes trying to connect and disconnect.

Settled on plugging it in but is definitely not a ideal situation.

I just logged and and I'm having the same issue. Win 11 23H2, PlayStation DualShock 4 Controller. Hopefully they get this fixed soon

I am experiencing the same thing since patch 7.1

My ps4 dualshock controller is no longer recognized by 14 unless I hardline it in via micro-USB. Without it being plugged in it just says 'Device not Located' in Sys Config and Gamepad Settings.

I've attempted multiple resets of PC, controller, and Game. No luck yet. Controller still works for other games, seems only ff14 was affected.

Me and my gf are having the same issue.

Same issue here.
Windows 11 with PS4 controller (no steam)

My wired connection isn't all that either to be honest. That's why I use bluetooth.
Hopefully it gets a fix sooner rather than later.

Edit: I've restarted PC and game multiple times. It just doesn't work.
