Random crashes, mostly happening during loading screens (17)
Hello,
since 5.2/5.3 I'm encountering random crashes.
Sometimes I can play for hours without any problems but sometimes I suddenly encounter those random crashes.
These crashes mostly occur during loading screens and I get following Error:
"An unexpected error has occured. Exiting Final Fantasy XIV.(17)"
Sometimes it helps to relog, but most of the time the game instantly crashes during the loading screen, again (right after choosing my character)
The curious thing is, that I usually can login with another char but once I try to log in with the original character I get the boot, again.
Yesterday I was able to reproduce the crash.
At first I tried to port with my main character to the Wolves' Den Pier (PvP Area) and the game crashed. It stuck in the loading screen and the error message appeared but for some reason I still was able to use the Chat just fine, until I "accept" the error message in Windows.
Then I logged in with my old char just fine and tried to teleport to the Wolves' Den Pier, again and guess what, I got the error message, again and the game crashed. (again stuck in the loading screen)
Even restarting the computer and closing some programs in Windows didn't help.
The only thing that helped me was to switch to DX9 (I usually use DX11). After switching to DX9 I could login, again.
This crash doesn't exclusively occur when porting to Wolves' Den Pier but it seems to happen everytime when I try to go there.
Apparently I'm not the only person who somes experiences these crashes (found someone on Reddit who has the exact same problem and a buddy from my FC told me, he get's those crashes, too (occasionally)
