So this just started happening a few weeks ago and has been getting progressively worst since then. Just doing random things on FFXIV and my game will freeze up and stop responding. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. This doesn't happen on any other game and I haven't changed any settings to make this start happening. If you have the same issue or have any ideas what's causing this, please let me know!
With the info i have i would assume it's a hardware problem. Heat possibly.
You could run the usual malware scans and sfc /scannow in an admin command prompt.
The CPU and GPU are both saying cool enough to where my fans aren't even turning up to high. I've already ran full system scans, cleaned my PC, and even rolled back my graphics driver. Still getting the same random issue.
might be your power supply if u get crashing it is caused by the graphics over heating and if theres not enough power for the fans BAM theres ur problem
The power supply has more than enough juice to run my PC at full speed. Like I said this only happens on FFXIV. I've played Skyrim with a ton of mods on Ultra and never had an issue. Just keeps happening on FFXIV and it's keeping me from being able to really do anything.
XIV isn't optimized as well as most other games. It hammers the piss out of all subsystems at once, and depending on how your power supply distributes the load it can still become unstable even though collectively it may be rated high enough. Each rail has a max total wattage of output and if your cabling stacks too much on one rail it can starve something like the GPU or CPU aux power connection and cause all kinds of weirdness.
Try moving some devices to other cables if you can to see if it better balances the load across the rails. Might do the trick.
I tried that, still having the same issue. Going to delete my GPU's driver and reinstall to make sure there isn't any bad files with the last update. If that doesn't fix it I guess only thing left to do is a restore.
I'm having the same issues, though it's just happening today. No overheating problems at all.
