Try this:

1. Download and save to desktop the latest nVidia drivers for your card.
2. Download DDU - https://www.guru3d.com/files-details...-download.html - Save to your desktop.
3. Disconnect your computer from the internet by removing the network cable or turning off your Wi-Fi and/or modem. Leave disconnected throughout this process.
4. Run DDU, this will remove all display drivers from your computer, with the exception of the default Windows driver, and remove all settings of those drivers.
5. Reboot the computer once DDU has finished it's work.
6. Once rebooted and at the windows desktop, run the installer for the nVidia drivers.
7. Reboot the computer again once the nVidia installer is finished.
8. Once rebooted, reconnect you computer to the internet/network.
9. Run the game and see if the issue has been corrected.

nvmgf2umx.dll crashes are commonly caused by glitched, mixed, or conflicting driver files and settings.
DDU will completely remove all files and setting, thus removing any of the above issues. Even when you use the nVidia "Fresh Install" option in the Custom Settings of the driver installer, it doesn't actually clean "all" of the above issues, so by using DDU to can actually perform a "clean install".
Disconnecting the computer from the internet/network during the DDU cleaning and fresh driver install prevents Windows Update from taking over and trying to install drivers from the Windows Store, which in doing so can re-introduce the above issues.

I was so hopeful this was it, but the game just crashed on me again. It worked for about 10 minutes.

I was on vacation for the past week, only to get back to a game that keeps on crashing. I am at a loss.

I have found what was causing this issue for me! It was my RAM.

I made a post with as much detail as I could muster: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...25#post6046225
