The huge DX11 crashing thread got moved to resolved issues?

did anyone try catalyst 15.7.1 ?

BUMP x.x I havent bothered to try direct x 11 in a while.if others here with the same gpu still got crashes i probably will still have crashes too i got amd R9 380. i went back to direct x 9 since i upgraded my gpu no crashing there was supposed to be a upgrade but with direct x 11 crashing thats a downgrade for this game >>

970 g1 GIGABYTE here, still having random crashes when teleporting. That really sucks, we've got a new patch and stuff... and again, SE didn't even say something about DX11 problems, i'm getting tired of this sh***. Being forced to play on DX9 when there's (only in theory, in my case) a dx11 available with a lot of game improvements. I'm a new player (like many who've got tired of the lack of content on WoW) but this indifference about a serious problem is really annoying. I'd expected more from SE's getting this sh** serious. =/ sad...

I somehow found a fix for the name corruption/name display bug. Give it a try and see if it work for you. Still testing on some more setting see if i can found better one. See if anyone else use what I did and see what the respond, may not work for everyone. (only posted up about 20mins from this post)

Tried playing with DX11 and DX9, had crashes with driver version 353.62
Moved to driver version 353.06, after another player's advice, still crashes on 11 and 9.

No overlays whatsoever have been on. DX9 also acts flaky, not even playable with lowest settings.

Only seems to play well when SLI is turned off.

Although I swear I ran through a dungeon a week ago on DX11 with SLI on and had no problems until I spoke with a Levemete afterwards. That was with 353.3X driver (can't quite remember).

I just built this rig and it bums me out that I have $300 just sitting in the case not doing anything while I play FFXIV.

I plan on getting Win 10, and some are saying they haven't had any problems since upgrading. Any more news on that front?
EDIT: Just did a quick 10 load. Nothing fixed. So the question for the 10 users is: Did things work for you after doing a clean load or just the normal upgrade?

I play with a single GTX 980 and the only way I stopped the fatal errors was to revert my drivers to 350.12. I haven't changed them since, and I haven't crashed since.

The only driver that I know of that doesn't cause this issue doesn't support my card.

The other 280 series cards that *can* use this driver can roll back to it and have no problems, but it won't work with my 390.

Sorry, that was for Nvidia cards, not AMD.

This seems to be working for me also. I did have to also check "Enable Crossfire for games that do not support it"

There's a new beta driver for AMD users if they want to try their luck with that.

i tried the new beta driver released today and i still crashed in dx11 on my r9 380
Decided to run the heavensward benchmark in dx11 at max and no crash occurred, hmmm.

Anyone get the crashes to stop with R9 300's??

Are they STILL ignoring us and just letting this shit happen? You think they'd at least say something to us, not only did my game crash. Now it won't fucking boot the client.

I tried to install the new 15.8beta but it crasched my PC and had to roll back. I have 2 r9 380's in crossfire.

WTB fix for this.

agreed, where's the preorder button

Not sure what all you have tried, but on my laptop with and AMD GPU I had to set everything in the Catalyst Control Center to "Use Application Settings" in order to stop the driver crash. By default there's some settings that are set to "AMD Optimized" which may be playing a part in the issue.

For those who have problem with AMD crossfire & DX11 just try this and see if it fix the crash too even if your card are not 29x. Better try than not trying.

AMD Catalyst Control Center -> Gaming > 3D Application Settings > + Add... YOUR FILE LOCATION FOR (ffxiv_dx11.exe) > ffxiv_dx11.exe > AMD CrossFireX > AMD CrossFireX Mode > Use AMD pre-defined profile > CivilizationBE_DX11.exe

Not applicable here.

i've tried the new whql nvidia driver (355.82) and the situation for me it got even worse with the previous version sometimes the game crashed with this one is a 100%

I found this post.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post3292155

The problem might be on Square Enix's side and not the drivers.

I recently got an MSI R9 390. Before this I had an Asus GTX770. Both of the cards were factory overclocked by the OEM. Nothing else in my setup changed; my processor is a mildly overclocked i5 4690k running at 4.2GHz (which has proven itself completely stable over a year of usage with the 770), and for RAM I have 16GiB of Corsair's DDR3, which isn't overclocked per se but is running on the manufacturer's XMP settings of 1866MHz.

With the 770 everything ran just fine and dandy and I had no crashes whatsoever in DX11 no matter what I did, and the game also ran well in borderless fullscreen. However, with the 390 I've been having a fair bit of GPU driver crashes at seemingly random times while using DX11, as well as having awful microstuttering in borderless fullscreen in both DX9 and DX11.

I've been playing lots of MGS5 lately and it has ran just fine on the 390, but haven't really tried any other games on it yet.

I figured the FF14 crashes might be because of the overclocks actually being unstable, like that one guy in this thread repeatedly mentions, so I underclocked it down from the 1040MHz factory overclock down to the reference clock speed of 1000MHz. Didn't touch voltages. I wasn't particularly surprised when the crash happened exactly like it did before.

During this time I played just fine for about 40 minutes. Did an Expert roulette, and teleported around a bit doing random stuff. I only alt-tabbed away from the game two times during this time, to check a Steam message I'd gotten.

Then I figured it's high time to trigger the crash, and alt-tabbed to Firefox (which has hardware acceleration enabled), scrolled around on a couple of webpages, and then tabbed back to the game which promptly crashed within ten seconds of regaining focus.

As such, I'm inclined to believe that at least in my case the crashes are caused by other programs using hardware acceleration alongside FFXIV. They seem to always happen right after I alt-tab out of the game to my browser. I don't really want to disable hardware acceleration in literally everything, so I'm just going to play using the DX9 client for now.

This doesn't happen in the one other game that I've been playing recently, MGS5. It also uses DX11 and is a 64-bit executable, but even if I tab out of it to do some web browsing and stuff it won't crash.

They may have found the issue and plan to do more testing.

@Ayat, I disabled HW acceleration in my browser and shut all other programs off. Still does it.

Windows itself uses hardware acceleration, you can't fully disable everything with it.

@Postcards, good to know.
