Game crashes with a weird warning

https://i.imgur.com/74s4IjT.png

Hi all,

I've been suffering weird crashes lately. No predictable timing or circumstance. 99% of the time it just crashes without any error or warning sign. Suddenly this popped up earlier. What's going on?? Did pretty much everything i can - dusted the computer down, reseating RAM and CPU. Help!

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

We would like to recommend performing a Clean Boot on the desktop to see if the crashing continues. This will prevent any programs from starting up when the starting when the computer first boots up. This can end up having adverse effects on the game when these programs are running in the background. To perform a clean boot for Windows 10: Open the task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.

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

Try disabling background apps from running, and if you have Microsoft Edge, make sure to not let it run in the background, you can't delete or disable it, I've tried. Also make Internet Explorer your default browser (the launcher uses IE). Don't OC your GPU and CPU.

I played for quite a while with no crashes on Friday when I made the above changes.

I have a very comparable build and have applied every single fix I could possibly find. This started happening to me after last night's maintenance and has never happened before. It seems this has been a widespread issue since the release of 5.0 and is only getting worse with more and more people. It's apparently due to a FPS/hz lock change on SE's side (why on earth a game would do that on their end is beyond me, but I'm not an expert). Unfortunately for most people, it reads the native hz on a monitor rather than a current - so if you lock your own and try to tone it down, it still doesn't work. Anyone unlucky enough to have a laptop is pretty much screwed regardless.

I've done everything short of buying a new PC build. Nothing, and I mean nothing, has resolved the issue for me. And, apparently, MANY others over this forum, Reddit, and Discord. I've seen people even get refunds as soon as ShB came out because they were never able to launch the game.

What's even stranger is the timestamp of the error messages which read 3-26 regardless of what day or time the error occurs. None of the error messages are remotely accurate.

Square Enix- I can no longer play your game. Apparently neither can many others. Please rollback this change of yours until you can properly fix it. The volume of reports of this issue that stem back to the beginning of 5.0 (and some earlier, though those changes were fixed) is massive. During a time when we're all stuck at home with nothing to do and nowhere to go, I sincerely hope you make this a priority, especially when your players are paying subscriptions.
