Unexpected Error on Load-in.

Hey there. Today my friend purchased a story skip for me so that I could enjoy the expansion content, but as soon as I started Stormblood and entered the map 'The Fringes,' I've been locked out of my character due to the same crash appearing every time I try to load into the game.

I've searched the internet for solutions but none have worked. I've tried the following:

• Removal of shaders
• Disabling Steam Overlay
• Full reinstall
• Updating graphics drivers
• Running the game in Dx9 mode
• Changing the resolution and window mode

Running the game with DirectX9 does change the error code, but otherwise it will still always crash when I try to log in. I'll post my system information below.

Obviously I'd like a complete solution so that I can play the expansion, but is it possible to have my character teleported to my home city in the meantime, so that I can continue to play while we resolve this? Thanks.

Here's my system report:

Had the time to try again without Dx11 support again today. Here's the error when the game is run on Dx9 mode.

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

If it is only happening with this one character, you may want to try deleting the locally-saved data folder (My Documents > My Games > Final Fantasy XIV). Make sure to create a backup of this so you can replace it if it doesn't solve the issue.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
