Ok, I've been playing around with trying to get the steam controller working in FFXI. Since they just added XInput, I figured that I'd try that, lo and behold it worked in vanilla FFXI without any problems (I did have to swap A & B but that's w/e).
The issue starts when I load FFXI up through Windower in steam (which is required to use the Steam Controller). FFXI doesn't recognize the controller any longer, and I'm not able to pull up the steam overlay (which I was able to do in vanilla FFXI).
I'm not sure what might be causing this, but my suspicion is that since FFXI is being run through windower, it doesn't recognize it as 'FFXI' so it doesn't load the proper overlay.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Edit:
I'm able to use the Steam overlay when in POL, but not FFXI could it be an injection conflict?
