Freezes and Crashes in FFXIV Dawntrail

Freezes and Stuttering in FFXIV Dawntrail
Date & Time: Nov 16 2024 - 5 PM
Frequency: 5-6 times in an hour
World name: Primal
Character name: Kohei Yamauchi

I am encountering issues with FFXIV Dawntrail in which my game randomly freezes up during a game. This happens usually when I'm idling in queue for a dungeon or during a cutscene. My audio continues to play but game is frozen. Currently in the questline for Growing Light (After Endwalker), there was a strange sequence where my game froze. But when it unfroze, as I was clicking to proceed through the dialogue of a cutscene, it was stuck on the cutscene it froze on, and the wrong cutscene was playing.

Furthermore, the game tends to crash if I click too much while the game freezes. It always unfreezes after waiting 3-4 minutes. Lately, it freezes right after I start moving after being away for a few minutes.

Graphics I believe has been turned to the lowest, I've reinstalled the game multiple times, reinstalled graphics drivers multiple times. The support team suggested I run the game in DirectX9, and I have DirectX12. (don't know anything about this, but a general search indicates DirectX12 supports DirectX9? Also, DirectX9 no longer supports FFXIV?).

So, not sure what's causing my game to freeze up like this. First time playing FFXIV on this new PC (After taking a break from endwalker, which I finished on my old PC).

Any assistance is welcome - thank you !
