    FFXIV Input Issue

    I've found this happen a few times over the last month or so. I'm not sure when it started happening to be sure, it may have been 1.17. But allow me to explain;

    While playing FFXIV WINDOWED I Alt-Tab often and talk on MSN, Browse and whatever else.
    An issue has arose recently where upon Alt-Tabbing back to FFXIV the game window will not respond to keyboard input, mouse input. Even with clicking the X in the top right; which causes the confirm box to come up; "YES" or "NO" cannot be clicked.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    Thanks

    Greetings Drazzan!

    I'm sorry to hear you're having some trouble after alt-tabbing back into the game. The thread was moved over to Technical Support since it could be a technical issue causing that to happen. I hope all goes well soon!

    Logged in to play today, and my input would "stick", meaning that I'd hold down NUM8 to run forward, and when I let go, my character would continue to run forward. Same with camera movement. I've made myself dizzy.

    I've noticed this a couple of times too.

    I had to end-task the game and re-login to get inputs working again.

    Like you key presses and mouse clicks just stopped working in the game window. Curiously though it still recognised where the mouse was as it would still highlight some ingame elements on mouse over.

    Unplug your input peripherals then plug them back in; problem solved!

    At least, I'm assuming they'd be resolved.

    I have an issue where my keyboard randomly stops interacting with the game; which only started happening on my new motherboard. I've been in contact with support, and now I finally come across this thread. Was it a patch that started this issue or is it really my new motherboard?

    I assume it was a patch because I never had the issue before.
    The thing I don't understand is that it's only XIV's game window that doesn't recognise any input.
    All other windows are fine.

    Well, I swapped my motherboard to a different brand.. still found the keyboard dropping out while playing.

    That, along with this thread, confirm it has something to do with a patch.

    Or.. by chance, do any of you run on the H67, P67 or Z68 chipsets? If not, then this is a definite bug with the game.
