FFXIV crash/stop responding on exit

started happening 1 week ago aprox ~ everytime i exit the game , i get an error , FFXIV stopped working , searching for solution blablaba...

Nothing gamebreaking but wondering if Im the only one on this?

you are not alone sir.
it doesn't happen to me all the time, but I've noticed this happens more when I'm launching the game from steam. but yeah, it started happening to me last week.
at first I thought maybe because I did a clean reinstall (inc windows) and my prev config was gone, maybe it's a launcher thing?

the steam overlay can cause issues with games utilising launchers, its usually an issue best reported to valve since the issue is in their court to resolve.

I don't even use steam and I've been seeing the same issue recently, it actually started after their previous "hot fixes" patch they did before the one that didn't happen tonight that was supposed to. While not game breaking, its extremely irritating having the game crash as I'm loading into dungeons and trying to farm trials for nexus lights. Also, fix the 20 minute timer for the game to kick us off the game when we get 90k errors, that ate up a majority of my coil group's time the other night....

what module does the crash window say the crash occured in?

"Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has encountered and error and needs to close." that's literally all it says.

maybe this is a windows 8.1 thing though? I have been launching the game directly through the launcher instead of steam and so far no error message.

Windows 8 here, refuse to upgrade to 8.1 and have to get all my damned drivers redownloaded and working again. The crashing is rare but it was quite active yesterday (3 or 4 times yesterday, not once yet today *knocks on wood*). But if you're going to mention that I guess I should also mention I load the game through WTFast since my connection can be crap and useless, however I've been doing that for the past few months without an issue until a few days ago.

So yea, game crashed twice as I hit enter to go inside my personal house last night, I wasnt even online for more than 30 seconds as I turned my camera around and clicked on the entrance to go inside, the second the screen went black to start the loading for the next area the game just decided to crash. This has been happening very frequently and its just beginning to get to the point where I'm not going to bother anymore if it keeps it up. I filtered some graphics, ran a virus and malware scan (turned up nothing), updated my computer including graphics driver, same problem keeps occurring; hell I even restarted my router/modem and my computer and I keep getting this lately.

I highly doubt its the game at all, everyone would experience it if it was. Rather things like this can be caused by a number of issues, especially where some run at start applications load themselves into every opened process.

knowing more about your system would help of course, so could you post a system information dump from the launchers config screen and paste it into [code][./code] blocks.
