Step: When talking to NPC the text box that pop up are empty and can not proceed, can not cancel conversation with the NPC. but still can chat. happen with several NPC after patch 1.16.

I hear u I'm on Wutai and when i talk to Kokomui or Holasfhis the game becomes unresponcesive and i have to use Task Manager to log out

Same have had issues with the quest Have you seen my son. Also I'm running into this problem with guild leve's and now faction leve's where it froze up while talking to the NPC War Wolf. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem still there.

And now crafting leve's while trying to turn in the leve for the reward. :mad:

Happen to be when submitting local leves to several NPC, when talk to War Wolf in FQ (result - I have to force log out and miss the reward :( ).
Hope SE fix this soon, as I'm currently holding on to some FQ and stop doing local leves until this issue got fix.

Talking to Willeda in the Lancers Guild with no quests open but all Lancer quests done I got stuck. I couldn't even log out just chat as listed above.

Same symptoms when speaking with Mimini at Camp Black Brush when trying to hand in the "Hanging By A Thread" guildleve - blank dialogue box (though the spoken text comes up in the chat log as normal) which am unable to cancel out of. Can chat and move camera as normal, but not move or access menus.

Hello this problem is spreading for me I now have 3 NPC's witch will cause this for me. Reinstalling isn't the answer this all started after the lastest patch for me.To log out i used Ctrl Alt Delete to bring up task manager witch caues Direct X to be lost by game and I'm out. The thing now is I'm unable to do Leve Quests and I have put that to the test. Have drop a Bug report each time this happens but now I'm Tired of that. So i can trace this back to the first NPC were this happened and it is Kokomui at Camp Bloodshore Doing Leve Quest Shoeing the Shore rank 15.

I have had this issue twice. I left the market ward and the little blue description screen woulds come off. The one that tells you what market ward you just entered. It also happend when looking into party. It wouldn't come off of the screen. Had to relog both times to fix it.

Completely different issue...

But agreed - I've experienced the market ward title screen being stuck in the middle of the window like you describe. It only happens to me when I log back in and start off in the market ward though. Perhaps a different thread for this bug?

I've been getting this with the Behest NPC and I have to use task manager to exit FFXIV as well. This really needs to be fixed, I can't do Behests, or ANY NPCs at all, this includes storyline quests as well.

I HAVE FOUND A FIX! :D

So, did any of you switch your font to one you like in game? A windows one instead of the default FFXIV one? Well, I had, and I switched it back, and now no more problems! I didn't have problems before the most recent patch, either, but this is a good temp fix, right?

was wondering if the Journal may have somthing to do with this.Question can we clear our Journals? If i could clear it this my fix the problem Shoeing the Shore it is finashed and i beleave is the cause. Kokomui at Camp Bloodshore is the NPC

Yes I have changed my Font to a windows one will follow your lead Sainya and reset the Font Thanking You for the heads up

I just went back to game font and it works :) Many Thanks

This thread was moved from In-Game Bugs to Technical Issues since the game is freezing and becoming non-responsive.

Thank you thank you thank you :) This has fixed the problem for me.

So it tries to load dialogue in the pop-up dialogue box, and if you're not using the standard FFXIV font, it causes the interface to freeze and displays a blank box.

Let us know when you've fixed it S-E so we can change back to our funky fonts!

I also experienced a problem with Willeda last night. After clicking on her all input except camera control became unresponsive; all keyboard and game-pad commands did nothing. I didn't even get the NPC dialog window. It seemed the game continued to function as normal though as the NPCs I could see were still shuffling their feet and such.
Had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to force the game to give me the Direct-X error and crash out.

I am using the stock FFXIV font. Win7 x64 | AMD Athlon X4 3.1 | 4gig DDR3 | ATi 5770

The same issue happened to me during my rank 30 Archer quest, I made a thread about it here thinking it was an isolated incident, but I suppose it's much more widespread.
