FFXIV:ARR has stopped working, won't let me back in game

I was able to play the game just fine until yesterday, when mid loading screen (I think I was somewhere in Thanalan on my way to Uldah, maybe zoning into the city, I know I was moving between zones, just can't remember exactly which and I definitely hadn't seen inside the city before the crash) Windows 8 brought up this error message about how the game had stopped working and had to close.

I restarted the game, selected my character, the loading screen came up, and after a few seconds the same error came up. I haven't been able to get any further than the loading screen since then, despite numerous attempts, restoring default settings, leaving the computer off all night, etc. To my knowledge, nothing happened on my end while I was zoning, but now I seem to be completely stuck, with no idea of how to fix it.

Please help!


Time: Started about a day ago, still happening now
Frequency: Every time I try to log in

2. Loading screen came up, waited for it.
3. Windows error stated that the game had stopped working and had to close.
4: Attempted to restart the game. Selected character. Repeat from step 2.
5. After each game crash, I did other things to try to remedy the situation. Closed all other programs, reset game settings to defaults, restarted the laptop, left laptop and modem/router off for an extended period of time, etc.
