An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.(17f) pop-up

I have been unable to login to the game since this past Wednesday. When I try to login, I get a pop-up that says "An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.(17f)"

I have tried re-installing the game twice now. After the first time, I found on a forum post here that I needed to delete the FFXIV folders that are in my My Documents. I did that, was able to get in the game (all my settings and hotbars, UI changes - all those things were reset to default), and all was good, I thought.

Went to log in today - same error and unable to log in. I get the error when I choose my only character.

Here is my system information:

Please help - I just want to play!

I have tried to delete the game folder in My Documents again after a fresh re-install and am able to log in now.

I will see how this goes and let y'all know if I see the error pop up again.

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

When did this first start happening? Do you recall anything updating/changing on your PC that coincides with this?

You may want to try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game.

Make sure you disable any overlays that may be active while playing (Discord Overlay, Geforece Experience, etc).

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