Game won't load after pressing 'Play' [WIN10 + Macbook Pro Bootcamp]

Hi there,

I haven't been able to get FFXIV to load the game after pressing 'play'. I have fully updated up until Shadowbringers most recent patch.

It was working on a previous bootcamp on Windows 10 on this exact same laptop (Macbook Pro 2018) but I've recently just added a AMD Radeon VII eGPU into the mix.

I am new to hardware and a bit a noob in troubleshooting issues so if someone could offer me some guidance I'd be most grateful.

My system information is:

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

How long have you been having this issue? When the crash happens, is there an error message that appears? Does the screen freeze when it stops loading or does the game client close out?
