FFXIV crashes when trying to access the East Shroud

For the past week, Final Fantasy XIV crashes each time I try to access the East Shroud. Regardless if I access via teleporting, walking, or the ferry from New Grinadia, the game crashes. The game will crash for all of my characters also. When the game crashes, it gives the following error message:
"An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTSY XIV.(17)"

Prior to this past week, I have not encountered any issues with the East Shroud, nor any other area of Final Fantasy XIV. I have cleaned my computer as best I could, updated the driver, and did what troubleshooting I could think of to resolve the issue but it was still ongoing.

I have upgraded my computer's draphics card in June, to prepare for the release of Dawntrail, and it should be functioning well above the recommended system requirements.

I do have Final Fantasy XIV installed on my S drive, as my C drive does not have the amount of HDD space to be able to play FFXIV. This decision was made a long time afo and as mentioned previously, I have not encountered any technical issues with FFXIV until this point.

Would you be able to assist with this issue?

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Please try the following:
- Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card and sound drivers (if applicable). For your GPU [AMD Radeon RX 6600] it appears that the driver was last updated on [3/29/2023] which is quite outdated. Please double check that the GPU driver is updated, this cannot be done through the device manager.

- Please try adjusting/lowering the resolution.
- Please try running the game as an administrator.
- Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything.
- Please be sure that Final Fantasy XIV is installed to the C: Drive as installing the game on other drives may lead to unexpected errors.
- Please be sure to disable or remove any overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA etc.) as they may interfere with startup. It appears that you may have the program [Friends - Discord] running in the background, for the troubleshooting phase please close this program.

- Make sure that the Windows OS is fully updated.
- Reinstall game

Thank you once again for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!
