Re: Gamepad question

Yes. Log out of FFXI if you want to play a different game.

Yeah, logging out of FFXI will solve that very quickly ^^.

Meh duh :p xD Nah what im sayng is even if i dont play another game, i can just leave my desktop open and move the controller and then check in the game, boom my char is moved then. i just wanted to play something else while seeking and stuff and i remember it used to be diffrent (to where the controller only worked in the game) so that makes me wonder.

Huh?

You're talking about when you play another game, even if you don't play another game?



Bottom line, if you want to play another game other than FFXI, log out and shutdown FFXI to play another game, or else your controller will ALSO control your character on FFXI.

Re: Gamepad question

they made windower to specifically keep controlling the game while not in focus except when 2 instances are running; then its either or neither... in that case i suppose you could reserve controller input for a 3rd program.
