Post subject:  Gamepad Controller?
Hello,

I tried to no avail to get my Xbox 360 and then PS4 controllers working in tandem with FFXI for about 30 minutes before giving up. A friend of mine, new to the server (newer than I, I just began about 48 hours ago) booted it up with a controller in first time and immediately was able to get to playing (or so he claims).

Is it possible to use a controller on this server? I know support was added in 2015 on the main servers, but obviously we don't have that config option. Can someone give me a somewhat in-depth guide to getting my controller working so I can play the game in a more fun way?

Windows 10 64 bit
I have DS4 installed (after I tried it without). I should note that program only makes it run like an Xbox 360 controller, which also wasn't working. Tips welcome!

We do have that same config option. Simply launch the nasomi config on your desktop (as admin) and select gamepad config.

You, my friend, are a gentleman and a scholar. Already helped on 2 of my posts that come from my own noobishness.

Thanks!

Hoping to bring a few players to the server and this will help (I had 2 people who refused to play unless they could figure out how to use controllers). Have a great day and a spectacular weekend!

I actually use an old ass PS2 controller with a USB adapter on it. Took a little tinkering to get it to work right, but it was easier than trying with PS3 or PS4 controllers. I find it hilarious that I'm now playing on the same style of controller as when i started 15 years ago.

The logitech F710 is a handy little guy that'll use either directX drivers or Xinput(xbox). A little switch on the back controls it. DirectX works best but a little customizing the buttons will make it work right on the Xinput too.

Doing the same thing. In fact, I'm playing with the same PS2 controller that I used 15 years ago, lol. Only issue I have is random game crashes on alt+tab (particularly annoying when using switchmon to swap between clients). Disabling controller in config settings fixes the issue, so I am leaning more towards keyboard these days :cry:

Yikes, that sounds sucky. The problems I have are that the camera will sometimes start moving on its own, but a quick rotation or two sorts it out. I tried multiple Dualshock 2 controllers (I've got like a half dozen still) and the silver one I use was the most effective, in case that helps.

Thanks lolBST. You find that various controllers wok a bit differently from one another?

Yep, for some reason the silver was the most successful at working properly. I didn't try all of my controllers, but my suspicion is that certain models work better than others.
