Windower Crash when plugging in controller?
Super weird issue here... i recently moved, so i took a temporary break from ffxi.. coming back, i have had a migraine trying to figure out why my game was crashing immediately when booting up, after trial and error of running through the lists... i've finally figured out its my controller, as soon as i unhook it i can boot up through windower and play just fine on KB&M, as soon as i turn my controller on the game insta crashes. This does not happen through the vanilla POL launcher, just Windower. Im super confused, i've tried changing/uninstalling/reinstalling/disabling all forms of XiInput/Directinput etc. this is super annoying, since i rely on SwitchMon + Controller to multibox lol... anyone have a fix?
