nvwgf2umx.dll crashes since 4.4

Hi, I've had intermittent crashes since 4.4. They never occurred before the last patch. I had hoped 4.5 would fix them, but they haven't.

They only occur, so far, during very specific triggers - the extended cutscene at the end of 4.4, and trying to run Void Ark.

Before anyone asks -

Yes, I have done a clean NVDIA driver uninstall / re-install
Yes, I have run SFC /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (no errors were found.)
Yes, I have tried running in dx9 , limiting frame-rate, etc.
Yes, I have tried re-installing FFXIV, twice, and yes I deleted everything in My Documents.
Yes, all overlays, including Win10, Discord, Steam, etc are disabled.
Yes, Windows10 is updated
No, I am not overclocked.
No, my GPU isn't overheating when this occurs.

This issue does not occur in any other game.

I know you said you've reinstalled the NVIDIA driver, but have you tried downgrading it and seeing if that fixes the problem?

I tried w/ several different versions of the driver.

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Thank you for the reply Nalette.

The particular error message you are getting designates a graphics driver crash. Usually this comes from a bad install of the drivers themselves. Unfortunately, this didn't seem to work for you.

I noticed you have two monitors, which one are playing on? Have you tried disabling one of them?

Have you changed any of the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel (enabling customized settings or resolutions), or have you left them at default?

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

I'm playing on the primary monitor. I haven't tried turning one of them off, because again, prior to 4.4 the issue didn't exist. I only just discovered it extended to Void Ark. (and no other instances so far.)

I have not adjusted any of the NVIDIA settings - they're at default.

Thank you for the reply.

Nalette, could you try disabling one of the monitors? Also please try changing the resolution to either full screen, windowed mode, or border-less full screen.

Hope to see you online!

Disabled the monitor, and tried full screen.

Void Ark won't even fully load now, and my character is immediately kicked out on the loading screen, no error pop-up at all now.

She is now stuck in the instance as well, awesome! :D

Thank you for the reply Nalette.

What do you mean when you say it will not fully load? Does this happen with any other characters or only that one?

Has the error changed at all since you last posted?

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