"Fatal DirectX Error Has Occurred (100000)"

*Note- the number of zeros in the title may not be correct. I lose count easy.

Anyway I get the above message consistently on hitting "Play" on the Launcher, after logging in.

Event Viewer brings up the following Message:

Event 10010, DistributedCOM

The server Windows.Gaming.GameBar.PresenceServer.InternalPresenceWriter did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Attempts to disable GameBar or stop it running in the background have not changed this.

EDIT: Updating the GameBar app has stopped this error message appearing, but now the game window opens for a few seconds and closes without any error message.

Event Viewer does dig this up:

"MSDTC encountered an error (HR=0x80000171) while attempting to establish a secure connection with system [leaving this out in case it's something sensitive, doubt it but still]."

Mucking with Firewall permissions stops this message from coming up but the game still crashes before the title screen.

Okay I'm fairly sure it's not a firewall anymore, I've done lots of fancy registry edit stuff to give FFXIV the proper permissions. And it's not throwing up those alerts anymore, but it's still closing shortly after I hit play and the game window comes up. It's like a black screen for a few seconds then crashes, but not a crash because no report is generated.

Honestly if this is just "a VM with these specifications cannot run FFXIV" I'd like to know that.

Greetings Adventurer!

We would like to apologize for the issues you are experiencing. However, please note that running this game using a virtual machine can cause issues like this to occur. Unfortunately, we would be unable to assist with this concern. We would only suggest that you attempt to play the game without the use of a virtual machine.

Thank you for contacting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
