Unable to login

For the past couple weeks I have been unable to login to FFXIV through the client. As soon as I click "Play" in the client I get a Japanese error that closes the client after clicking "OK." I have looked up the message, and apparently it is a boilerplate "An error was encountered," message.

I have updated my drivers, and ensured Windows is fully updated. I uninstalled FFXIV from my external hard drive, and then reinstalled on my C drive. Then I uninstalled the game from Steam and reinstalled the client from the official website.

I have switched my Direct X from 9.0-11.0, to no effect. I have disabled shaders and overlays that NVIDIA turns on. I have ensured FFXIV is fully updated. My account is up to date with payments and I have tried to log on with a different account.

Any suggestions?

Hello bensonkhan, Thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

Have you tried rolling back your graphic card updates and also the windows update? Please try this and see if it changes anything. If this does not help please post a system report here. Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

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

Hi Ariellendera,

I've tried rolling back my graphics card and windows update. Here's a post of my system info, please let me know if you can glean anything from it!

Thank you for the update bensonkhan.

Can you go into more detail about what the error says? Can you post a screenshot of it?

A laptop will switch between the dedicated graphics card and the integrated one. Make sure that it's using the dedicated graphics card when playing the game (this is usually associated with the power settings or can be switched in the Nvidia Control Panel).

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