I have been playing this game for years, and i haven't had any major issues. But recently it has been shutting my computer down completely. This started happening about 3 or so days ago. Usually i would alt tab and watch videos while i wait in queue or whatever. But whenever i play FF14 and alt tab and return to the game client it shuts down my computer and forces a restart. This has been happening only with FF14. I haven't had this happen to any other game i play. I have tested this with multiple games and no shut down, only FF14. I can still play the game perfectly fine, but i cannot alt tab for too long otherwise when i tab back to FF14 it will just shut off my computer.
I opened up my computer and cleaned out dust, my fans are working everything seems to be fine. I updated my drivers because i was missing an update. That didn't fix it.
I don't know what else to do, and it frustrates me. Even though i'm capable of playing the game, being locked out of everything from my computer bothers me to no end. How can i go from playing this game perfectly fine for years and then suddenly having this huge issue?
FF14 shuts my entire computer down

Do you have the AFK camera enabled? If so, try disabling it. Have you tried switching between windowed, full-screen, and borderless windowed? Perhaps disabling full-screen optimization in Windows for this game would help. You should also poke around Event Viewer and see if you can find any errors that coincide with the restart happening. Finally, if you've updated Windows since the issue started occurring, try rolling back.

Is the power supply getting old? Maybe it's like the load is getting too much when there's too many characters in one zone especially if you aren't using the option to limit fps while tabbed out. Just a stab in the dark.

03-07-2020, 12:36 AMWynn_StormI don't have the afk camera enabled. I have always had the game running in borderless, i haven't given full screen or windowed a try. I don't know how to disable full-screen optimization, i will have to look into that. How would i go about looking at the event viewer? Is that after a computer shutdown? And i haven't updated windows recently.Quote:

Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
Wynn_Storm, to prevent repeating previously attempted troubleshooting, what have you tried to alleviate the problem? Does this crash happen when Final Fantasy XIV is the only program running? Where in game does the crash occur? 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.'
Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums. -
03-07-2020, 03:31 AMWynn_StormYes FF14 is the only program running, aside from my browser where i alt tab to watch videos while i am in queue or afking.Quote:

I have been alt tabbing and my computer hasn't shut down on me. I think it may have been a gpu overheating issue. Since i have put it on 60 fps my computer has gone down from about 70c to like 50-60c. My fan is only working at 25% because it isn't even getting that hot now.
It just baffles me that i have been playing uncapped fps on max graphics for so long and suddenly this issue started a few days ago.

03-10-2020, 09:42 AMthrashetteJust open your Windows menu and type in "Event Viewer" to find the utility. I'm no expert, but you can go in and just poke around, looking at recent errors and warnings for some clues as to what is malfunctioning on your system. That's usually my step one when troubleshooting. If your PC is forcing a restart, there's likely to be some sort of error logged in there.Quote:
