New Account and can't play

I have read so many of these posts and tried everything I can find online on why I can not get loaded into game.
I have tried an uninstall and reinstall, updating all my drivers, turning down all my settings, shutting off my virus protection, changing almost every setting possible and still as soon as my character loads I crash to desktop.

I can watch the first cinematic after I login in and choose my character, from there I get this message.
An Unexpected error has occurred. Exiting
ffxiv.exe+C89AF5
ffxiv.exe+C8842
ffxiv.exe+47DFEE
others are all about the same +983111 +AD327 +9BOD5 +AC2FDS

With Directx11 It crashes before cinematic, with directx9 it crashes on character standing in the world. One time it crashed and was just drawing a quest icon in front of me.

Is your GPU or CPU overclocked at all? FFXIV doesn't play well with overclocking for some reason. If so, that may be the culprit. I've had DirectX crashes before as a result.

FF14 seems to prefer to be installed on the OS drive and can have a chance of crashing when ran from a non-OS drive.
Uninstall the game, free up some room on your C drive, and re-install it to your C drive.

I'll give it a try

This fix worked for me, thanks.
I was able to get into the game and get started being overwhelmed
