Crashes attempting to complete Post-Stormblood content

Hello there, I'm a newer player of FF14 and am loving the game, but have had issues ever since Patch 6.1+ with my game suddenly crashing.

I was able to progress through all of A Realm Reborn and Heavensward with minimal to no crashes (save for in PvP) and was also able to progress the MSQ of Stormblood just fine with maybe one, 2 crashes at most.

When I got to the Post-Stormblood content, however, I have experienced frequent crashes when loading cutscenes. At first, they were few and far between, with maybe only one crash trying to turn in a quest that I was able to bypass A-OK with DX9 mode (which, for the sake of reporting this, I will be referring to the DX9 mode crash errors).

However, when attempting to even start this next MSQ scenario, I crash during the cutscene playing usually with an immediate CTD (before it crashes, I notice an explosion audio effect is corrupted entirely), but sometimes with the specific stacks: +112C59C, +55F3B, +54BB2, +53404, +10A2A24, +10A1F26, +10A3381 and, +10A5897.

I first tried the repair tool and after that did its' thing, the game would immediately CTD in the character select screen on DX11, and then wouldn't even load my character proper on DX9.

I have updated my drivers both graphics and audio, fully reinstalled the game, and performed a clean boot after said reinstallation all to no effect. Per some forum reports last night, I noticed 2 threads by 2 different players that described exactly what errors I was getting: the exact same crashes in DX9 mode (with the same DX11 mode crashes as an added bonus) when loading things AND notes that this seemed to have occured starting in Post-Stormblood MSQ content leading to Shadowbringers after the 6.1+ updates.

Per that I suspect that maybe something is wrong in the patch itself and that something within the patches messed with the content there, causing these crashes, but if not, any help would be appreciated. My specs are posted below and I can also link the other 2 threads whenever so an idea can be given over what is exactly going wrong.

EDIT: I can confirm as well that this is happening in other cutscenes, as the same errors occured in DX9 with loading the cutscenes for treasure maps in Stormblood.

Greetings fellow Eorzean,

We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with directx related errors. Please try the following suggestions:

-Update your Windows Operating System using Windows Update. Make sure to install all recommended and optional updates as multiple reboots and attempts may be required.

- Try deleting the Final Fantasy XIV sub-folder under the "My Documents" folder and rerunning the game.

-Download and install the latest Geforce software drivers and the GeForce Expansion software itself. You may want to try running the game through the GeForce Experience software as well.

We hope this information is helpful in resolving this issue.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

I will be trying these tomorrow night for sure, I moved to my main drive in hopes it would fix it, but still nothing. I did notice, however, that ONLY in Stormblood-based areas I would crash. Heavensward and ARR did NOT crash me one bit.

Hi!

I just wanted to share that I've been having issues that sound very similar to yours. My game has worked absolutely perfectly apart from one or two crashes throughout all of ARR and HW. The repeated crashes when I try to enter the game have only started since I've been trying to do post-Stormblood content.

My load times have become very slow when I do rarely manage to load into the game, but I experience crashes with error messages as soon as I try talking to NPCs. I've tried disabling overlays, reinstalling the game, deleting the FFXIV sub-folder in documents, checking the integrity of the game files and basically everything else that has been suggested. My graphic card drivers are up to date and I have installed every possible windows 10 update.

Hello again! I've tried these and the game still crashed. I recently just moved my game to my SSD to attempt to fix as well, however, no dice still on it. I will be deleting that folder again and reinstalling onto the SSD again to see if that does anything to see if it does anything.

As an update, be it via blind luck or something else, my game has now fully been fixed after reinstalling a 3rd time onto the SSD only and deleting any remaining random files instead of moving it to the SSD by hand. I am not crashing at that spot anymore, allowing me to continue my work. Thank you for all the help Darneltia, a lot of your suggestions were ones I didn't think to try before!

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

I am glad to hear the issue has been resolved! Should any additional issues happen, please post again in the Technical Support Forums.

This thread will be moved to 'Support Center Resolved'.
