Old issue - Game locks up while loading into cities.. STILL

My last post on this was closed without any type of solution to the issue, here's a summary: This has been an on again off again issue for at least a year now
Platform is a PC - No error messages at all - just a hard lock while trying to load into cities (Idylshire, New Gridania and Kugane) and certain zones - Wired Connection (Fiber) - Discord and Advanced System Care for cleaning up processes and ram - Frequency - I can almost count on it just about everytime I try to load into a major city...

Hope that helps =)


This is still an issue and is now affecting my ability to log in if I've put my character outside of my FC house.


I've ran checks on my hardware, clean my computer regularly and am drawing a blank as to why THIS GAME ONLY hard locks when trying to load into certain areas.


Would like a resolution to this please =\

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

We apologize for not getting to your issue before. Can you submit a Final Fantasy XIV system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

When the game does lock up, is it simply the game or does your entire computer stop working, requiring a reboot?

You mentioned it happens on and off, do you notice any patterns to the error (aside from it happening in major cities)?

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

Awesome, thank you for responding quickly here - Game does a hard lock up of my entire computer and requires a hard reboot - Happens almost every time that I try to load into places like Kugane - Gridania - My FC's House - Iddylshire: Those 4 are the only ones that are causing this to happen - Limsa and Ul'Dah: Almost and instaload...

Thanks for your help =)

Good morning and thank you for the reply.

Bladesinger, what are some things you have tried to alleviate the issue? I just want to double check so that we don't end up suggesting something you have already tried. Also is your GPU overclocked at all? Additionally when playing Final Fantasy XIV on the computer, do you have any programs running background?

Hope to see you online!

Things that I've done to try and alleviate the issue: Increasing the CPU prioritiy for the game to "above normal" or "high" - I use a program called Advanced Systemcare to "clean" my Memory and decrease the amount of load the RAM is under - GPU is not overclocked - I do turn the fan speed up on it only if it hits 60° or above utilizing EVGA's Precision XOC - Once I'm done doing all that, I close them all down tho - Only other program that I have running in the background is Discord and sometimes Firefox.


Hope that helps


EDIT: Doing it consistently trying to que in for Eureka now - =\

Not sure if you folks have done something on your end - BUT - Everything for the past couple hours have been loading normally - If you did - +:*Thank you*:+




EDIT: Nope, still doing it - Nothing running in the background

Thoughts SE?

Thank you for the update Bladesinger.

Have any changes to the PC been made such as mandatory/optional updates?

Hope to see you online!

Oh, always - Game is running like a champ again, I'll keep you updated here if there is any changes.
