It seems like anytime I'm standing in front of or near an instanced dungeon that's available for me to run, my client crashes. It happens 95% of the time. I can log-in on a different character fine. I can run the instance fine. To get my character unstuck and proceed with the game I need log in on a different computer, move my character away from the dungeon enterance, and then run the instance through the duty finder. One single time, I didn't get the crash when standing near the entrance to Tam-Tara. I'm not sure what was different. I logged in that time immediately after a crash and didn't change any settings aside from rebooting.
Before I realized it may have something to do with standing near the entrance, I would reboot my computer before attempting to try again. My friends say there's a blue haze or something around the entrance to the dungeons that wasn't there during closed beta. I'm not sure if this is all coincidental, but I have not gotten a crash anywhere else yet.
I tried turning my settings down to the lowest possible, switching from fullscreen mode to windowed mode, to borderless fullscreen windowed mode, running as an admin, running in compatibility mode, disabling my anti-virus software, and updating my drivers to the newer beta drivers which claim they have increased compatibility with Final Fantasy XIV.
