Game Crashing During Cutscenes

I first noticed this problem during the quest "The New King on the Block" when I went to wait at the destination for what my boyfriend says is a cutscene that introduces a talking cat. However, as soon as I clicked on the 'destination' my game crashes. I put in a support ticket, filled out the template they sent me, and haven't heard back. I moved on to working my MSQ and now I'm encountering the same issue during a duty where I'm controlling Alphinaud. I finish the round of adds and the screen goes black as if attempting to load a cutscene but then I get this error code box and the game crashes. My boyfriend scoured the internet and found suggestions that included deleting my FF14 files in my documents folder, disabling all background apps and doing a clean reboot, and loading the game without running anything. None of this did anything, except of course ruin my bar setup.

Thank you posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

I apologize for the delay in our response to your concern. How long has the game crash been occurring? Also does this only happen in game or does FFXIV crash when the game launcher is uploaded. Lyriona, could you also provide a system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

Hope to see you online!

It's been going on a couple weeks now. It started with just being the one cutscene but now it's happening more frequently. I tried turning off Dx11 and also reinstalling the entire game and directX as well. I've changed the graphics, the resolution, turned on and off the depth of field for cutscenes. Tried playing with nothing else running. deleted the xbox programming from the laptop. Just all kinds of crazy suggestions and nothing works.

Update: the issue is now affecting dungeons and loading screens. I tried to teleport during a hunt earlier, game crashed, and couldn't get back in due to loading screen. It started around Jan 4, that's the earliest I have it dated in my emails to the original ticket.

Lyriona thank you for the information.

I apologize for the delay in our response to the problem. On the system, I noticed the graphics drivers look out of date. Please update them.

Have you not done so already, try doing a cleanboot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.

Please also try changing the compatibility mode by right clicking on the exe file (Default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot\ffxivboot.exe), right click it and select ‘Properties.’ Select the ‘Compatibility’ tab and select Windows 7.

Hope to see you online!
