I only just noticed this, as I have not dual boxed anything for the last several days, but whenever I launch through Windower, it enables the checkbox in FFXI's Config "Enable gamepad when game is inactive." as a result, both characters are controlled simultaneously via the same gamepad. this occurs immediately after launching POL, as I can exit viewer without logging in and the change has already occurred. is there anything I can do to correct this short of downgrading as I have seen in another thread here? I'd rather not have to switch from Windower to Ashitacast as I have neither the time nor the energy to redo all my scripting and learn XML.

I had the same issue, uncheck "Always enable gamepad" in Windower settings under Advanced.

the issue is that it is re-checked everytime I launch Windower.

Use the windower 4.2 method for the time being.

Will reverting back to 4.2 fix the dual boxing controller issue?

dropping back down to 4.2 worked fine for me. what I was reading in the Windower 4.3 thread is to actually make a change within Windower's options, not FFXI Config, which I may attempt tomorrow when I feel like dealing with it; I'm not feeling well and just lack the patience to mess with things now that I have it working again.

Windower 4.2 doesn't have that option so not sure what you are talking about.
