Game Keeps Crashing - Help!

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

Have any changes happened to the device before the issue began? We would also like to recommend several other troubleshooting steps:

1) Make sure that your hardware is not overheating and remove any overclocks you may have on your graphics card or processor. Please check that any fans or vents are clear of blocks.
2) Disable any additional programs that could cause interference with the game itself including chat programs. Also, remove any custom configurations made using graphics driver-level programs
3) Remove any mods or injectors from the game or system
4) Turn off Fullscreen Optimizations. Find the executable file for the game (normally found in the install folder), right-click it and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box labeled 'Disable Fullscreen Optimizations', then click 'Apply'.
5) Remove any unnecessary USB or audio devices (controllers, headphones, flash drives etc.)
6) Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card
7) Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything
8) Install Steam, Windows and FINAL FANTASY XIV onto the same drive

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

Things were working fine until the 5.4 update. Been playing regularly for a few weeks.

I've done everything in your list except number 8. Unfortunately, my drive with my OS isn't big enough to also have FFXIV installed on it. Do you have any other reccommendations?

Good afternoon and thank you for the reply.

Are you able to try and put Steam on the same drive as Final Fantasy XIV?

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

+1 in all respects.
---------------------

I would like to report that I have the same constant crashing, usually when transitioning into a cutscene or a dungeon.

Usually, the game just crashes with no error whatsoever. However, rarely I have the same error message printed out:
```
An unexcepted error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.

This was not a problem before patch 5.4.

I also play on the steam version. I also install FF14 on a separate hard drive.

I use a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. Here is my system report.
