I know these posts pop up every other day and trust me, I’ve scoured the forums but I cannot get this thing working.

My issue is, if I boot up POL my control works - both in POL and in game. If I launch via windower, it will NOT work in game. The issue seems to be with windower.

Details:
Windows 10
Xbox 360 wired controller
Ran ffxi config as admin (did it as all regions)
Ran ffxi gamepadconfig as admin (all regions)
Ran windower as admin
Turned the gamepad setting in windower off
Disabled UAC in windows
Removed and reinstalled windower (not in ffxi directory)
Checked controller drivers.

Again, if I take windower out of the equation, the controller works fine. Please help!

Yea had same issue. I did the config and all keybinds worked. If you google this many people have the same issues with no solutions. I do know people who use controller with windower with no issue sadly, lucky them.

I sorted it out. I had to delete xinputdll.dll and that let me run the ffxi gamingpad config and set it up as a direct input device
