An unexpected error has occured. Exiting FFXIV.

So I was here the other day with a different error, but I solved it by reinstalling the game entirely.

THIS time, however, is a fresh bug.

I was fighting in the Azim Steppe, specifically the duty where you fight Sadu, and anytime I'd beat her, the game would close with this error:

"An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FFXIV. 2019-03-14_12:06

ffxiv_dx11.exe+1167ACD
ffxiv_dx11.exe+67C8C
ffxiv_dx11.exe+66313
ffxiv_dx11+10B5D80
ffxiv_dx11.exe+10B742F
ffxiv_dx11.exe+10B9EES
ffxiv_dx11.exe+44114C
ffxiv_dx11.exe+19E432"

What might be the cause of this? How might I fix it? I've already checked for missing components by running DX install, and there was nothing.

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

Does this crash only happen during the duty described above? Do you experience this crash anywhere else in game? What have you tried to so far to alleviate the issue? Also could you 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 doesn't happen anywhere else, and I've tried removing Stormshade, Textools related mods, and restarting my system. None worked.

Here's my system information:

Bumping because this is still unsolved, any ideas?

Thank you for the update.

When the crash occurs, are there programs running in the background along side FFXIV? Also does this crash only happen on Direct X 11? Does Final Fantasy XIV crash on Direct X 9 at all? IF you have not done so already, please switch to Direct X9 by selecting the " Config" button on the game launcher. Additionally, please do a cleanboot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.



Hope to see you online.

It does. I get Fatal Direct X Error 100003d at launch, Direct x 11 doesn't have that error but it does still persist to crash in game.

GunnertheMage, thank you for the reply.

Could you try change the compatibility mode? Right click 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.

If you have not done so already, please try doing a cleanboot. Open the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.

Hope to see you online!
