Several problems in stormblood.

Ok then. I've googled, i've searched, i have done everything i can and i am professional in it-business.

I never had problems with FFXIV while playing in HW, now, after coming back to game it is nearly unplayable. Errors and crashes appear several times an hour.

I've done like every step i have found here and reddit and steam forums.
Last things i did: formatted c, so clean windows, bought a new GPU (970 to 1070) and ofc reinstalled game (kinda had to). I did not install Geforce Experience and i have disabled xbox-sofware.
Dropping to dx9c just makes those errors less frequent and ofc .exe name is changed.


Here you have a picture of most common errors i get: https://i.imgur.com/RnNTZck.png

Computer specs:
i7-4790K (not overclocked, just default boost to 4.4)
Asus z97-ar (bios is updated)
Asus 1070 OC (NVIDIA 388.59)

Any help to make this wonderful game stable would be lovely.

Good afternoon, and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Has anything on your computer changed that coincides with this error? Are there any programs running in the background when trying to play?

Does this error appear on log in, or is it a crash while you are playing?

Any additional information you can provide will help us find a solution.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

NVidias drivers work unilaterally over the last several generations of cards, so unsinstalling of game, drivers, formatting, was pretty un necessary. I don't have geforce experience or the xbox software on my PC at all.

Do you still have the 970? If so, wouldn't hurt to pop it back in and see if the errors persist or if it has something directly to do with new GPU.

Also, what power supply are you using to power that?

Think you did not quite understand, like, anything i wrote, changing cards was the last step i've taken to solve this. And i do not have geforce software or xbox software, neither do you! Wow!

PSU is a Seasonic 620w, that is more than enough.

And for the moderator:
No, nothing had changed, just stormblood release. Crashing happens while playing, randomly.
I've might have isolated my problem to my logitech g930 drivers. Got an error that took me sound device drivers....i have played for hours now, just using motherboards soundcard after removing logitech software, drivers and usb-device.
It seems that ffxiv flips if current sound output is disconnected for even a 1ms. That is, btw, coding from the 90's.
And disconnecting sound device gives you divx-errors.

I really hope that this fixes your problems and that you don't have any problems in the future because I will only drop in to indicate what a rude person you are so that others are hesitant to help.

You said that you changed your GPU. You didn't say that you did so because of DX11 problems, and left me wondering if the GPU upgrade might have had something to do with that. You could've made that correction without being an ***. The 1070 has its own host of problems with this game and is the buggiest (along with the 1080) nvidia card for this game FYI.

Due to no response from the OP, we are going to assume this issue is resolved and will be moving this thread to "closed concerns". Please do not hesitate to create a new thread if this issue continues or if you have new issues.

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV! Hope to see you online.
