DX11 Crashing?

Drivers are all updated, and I have no problems while I play, but I've been only able to close the game properly once. I'm on Windows 7 btw.

I wonder if it's really an Nvidia graphic cards thing, or something with the client itself.

That is strange because I have the exact same card and never had a crash to desktop when I play in DX11. I'm on Windows 8.1 but I don't think that should be a big influence.

I have a gtx 660 which I have current drivers for. I can play in a zone just fine, but every time I zone, wether it be via teleport , aetherite, return, duty finder, I always freeze on the load screen and crash.

Dx9 I have zero issues. Matter of fact the game runs smoother in dx9. My only guess is my video card is trash. It's only 2 yeas old though. And my rig is 4. Maybe time for new? I play on max setting with 30+ frames in duty. Town it's... Well I won't say :p

Yeah, I'm sorry I highly recommend upgrading your GPU. Here is where yours currently stack up:

While im sure you could upgrade your card i doubt this is your card since im on gtx 970 and have the exact same problem, id hold off until either Nvidia or SE release an update for it and then choose from there.

Quick edit : Has anyone tested dx11 today since the update i saw only something small about dx11 but at this point im willing to take whatever.

One thing I would say for nVidia users that helped me is create a profile in the nVidia control panel for ffxiv_dx11.exe - one doesn't currently exist. On my 980TI I have these options and I have a LOT less crashes (but still not none).

Remember, be sure to click the Add button and navigate to your ffxiv_dx11.exe executable, the built in one is for the DX9 ffxiv.exe dll (maybe that is even causing problems, who knows!)

EVGA GTX 960, Windows 8. My game has been crashing on logout since EA, but I've had 2 and a half in game crashes.

Once was a black screen I couldn't get out of without doing a hard reboot, but Teamspeak was still working while I was black screened. I heard no game sounds.

Another was a full crash to desktop, but the screen went black first, then the game closed. I heard a popping noise in my headset when it happened. No effect on Teamspeak.

And the half one was a sound crash. I heard some popping in my headset (the same noise I heard when I crashed to desktop), but only my game sounds died, and I was able to continue playing the game. I had to restart the game to get my sounds back. It didn't crash to desktop. Again, Teamspeak remained functional per usual.

My headset is a Logitech Clear chat pro USB headset, and it's kind of old now, so maybe it's dying. I don't have any speakers hooked up to my PC right now.

No idea if related, but the sound crash and black screen freeze happened while in The Vault. The complete crash to desktop happened while in Halitali hard mode.

GTX 970 user here too but haven't had this issue unless quitting the game.

Generally, crashing problems were solved when I switched from window to Fullscreen.

Try playing in fullscreen and see if you still have trouble. DX11 seems to just take over the computer when you run it (or at least it does on mine, I can't exit through the window button anymore and I have a fairly beefy processor)

MSI GTX 970 user here.
Game randomly crashes or screen just freezes while game keeps running in the background.
It's completely ruining my experience and slowing my progression.
Gonna fix this shit or what?

My game crashes every time I hit Exit Game on the menu. It's kind of silly, but doesn't really bother me since I wanted it to close anyway.

I'vr had this happing to be in early access a couple of times (normal in dungeons) but I have not had it happen to me since then, but will comment back if I have any more issues.
