DX11 Crashing?

So... I want to add a suggestion here, only because I somehow managed to make the game crash at launch while I was trying to resolve a different issue.

Try updating the Visual Studio 2010 C++ runtime.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=26999

At some point during my attempts to install a SDK that required uninstalling the C++ runtime so the SDK could install an older version, I tried running FFXIV and it would crash at launch. So I went back through the Microsoft website to find the most recent 2010 runtime, and that fixed it.

But that doesn't mean this will fix it for everyone, just those who have software on their system that was insistent on installing the old version.

I have an amd r9 285 I run bordered windowed mode. Had to go back to directx 9 to stop the frequent freezeups and crashes. I even installed beta drivers 15.6. I will try running in full screen to see if it crashes since I was not before. Thx for the suggestion I hope it works but I do prefer windowed so I don't have to tab out to access my task bar which is unfortunate.

So this is what I found following the comments on this thread:

I was using driver 350.12 every game was running great FFXIV also on DX11 never crash but I wanted to verified what people was saying about FFXIV 64bit so I decided to uninstall all NVidia drivers wait for windows to install default driver then install 353.30 then suddenly most of the games the use DX11 start causing the driver to crash no the game, the game crashes because the driver crashes first, I already summit this to NVidia

This is what i'm running.

I'm running 353.30 (June 22 2015) on a Geforce 760 GTX and it's not currently crashing. Only futzing with the MSVCRT files induced the crashing.

I`ll try the tessalation thing tonight, lets see what i get. Will update later

UPDATE:

well, tonight i tried to turn tessaletion to normal and run in fullscreen, no crash during 4 hours of gameplay. Will try again tomorrow and see if is still stable or just placeboo. But so far so good.
People with NVIDIA cards, and probably AMD too, that were crashing try the solution proposed by Tawn.

Set tessellation to normal and run fullscreen.

Anymore input on what might work for ppl that posted with amd r9 285 or close to that on a card?

I'm also using r9 285, but there is still no eta >.> Also posted some information at amd forum.

Something seriously wrong with this game at the moment, i've crashed around 7/8 times today, on both windows 8.1 and windows 10 preview

GTX 580
Drivers 353.30 & 353.06

usually crashes to desktop but had a few hardlock my pc fully and had to restart

not good, actually did a fresh install of my windows 8 to see if it would fix it and nooope, crashed within about 30 seconds after loading into a zone

tesselation is on normal, i do run borderless window though...hate fullscreen :(
