Game Forcequitting Constantly on Patch Day (6.11)
I cleanly installed the 6.11 patch. I logged into my character on Aegis (Elemental DC) and, while attempting to do P1S, the game would eventually stutter in movement into a force quit. Similarly, I logged into my character on Sephirot (Materia DC) and, while doing the Sage LVL80 solo duty, the game would do the same as previously mentioned.
For the Aegis (Elemental DC) character, I logged into Radz-at-Han and completed 3 Ranked PvP matches. None of those matches had any issues. As soon as I entered into P1S, the force quits began.
For the Sephirot (Materia DC) character, I believe I logged into Dravanian Hinterlands (the zone that has Anyx Trine/Tailfeather) and was where the LVL80 Solo Duty is to commence. I entered into the solo duty and the game force quit post mid-duty cutscene.
I believe it's worth mentioning that these instances of the game force quitting without any error attached also occurred on the patch day of 6.1. I would attempt to talk to Tataru in the Rising Stones and, before the completion of the first cutscene, the game would force close without any warning. The only fix I had was to use the "Restore Game Data" feature in the launcher and the next day there were no force quits.
I have attempted to run the game on DX9 and the force quits still occur. My instance of FF14 is installed on an external hard drive, however both the launcher and the game client boot up and run smoothly, so I have no reason to believe that the external hard drive is at fault. I have no applications that start up automatically. I am currently in the "Restore Game Data" process and hope that this issue is fixed by tomorrow morning.
UPDATE (27 April, 2022): I completed the "Restore Game Data" process and the game is still force closing and is still not showing any errors. I am attempting to log into my Sephirot (Materia DC) character and the game either force closes immediately, or shortly after I enter into the world. I am thinking of doing a full reinstallation of the game to see if that will be a fix.
I had no issues with any force closing prior to the 6.1 patch.
UPDATE (27 April, 2022): I successfully reinstalled the game to be met with more force quits. Initially upon booting up the game, I successfully completed The Royal Menagerie and exited cleanly. However, upon advancing the MSQ further, post-credits I was abruptly force quit out of the game. It is getting to the point where I can successfully get into the character selection screen, however regardless of Data Center the game will force quit as soon as I log into the world.
UPDATE (27 April, 2022): I swapped over to DX9 and the game is now functioning without any force quits. I briefly tested to see if it would run on DX11, however the game force quit me before I could do anything. Regardless, as much as this is a temporary fix, I would prefer to be able to run this game on DX11.
