Game crashing on startup (16a)
My windows isntall got messed up and kept only booting to a blank screen so I reset my windows isntall and transferred my files (but not apps since I couldnt do that) through the windows refreshed install, and attempted to redownload the game, every time I get a black screen witht he ffxiv cursor, sometimes it shows the square enix logo sometimes it doesnt, then it crashes with "FInal fantasy xiv has run into an unexpected error. 16a" I have tried updating drivers, am currently attempting the restore game data option and will update the thread if this helps but am making while I wait for more potential tech support. I saw in other threads on error 16a that going into my games folder and trying to delete the ffxiv a realm reborn folder might fix it, but it hasnt and it keeps reappearing every time I try to just saying it isnt synced.
Also want to add I can never reach the title screen so from seeing other threads on error 16a ask about differeing characters, that cant apply here because I cant get that far.
