FFXIV Not responding

I installed and patched my brand new copy of FFXIV yesterday. When I came to play it, it would stop responding after I hit the play button. I changed it to windowed mode and got the same result. I tried changing some settings in the config, such as window size and lowering the graphics options.

I've tried running as administrator in both full screen and windowed mode, but to no avail. I've downloaded the latest DirectX, and that hasn't helped. I looked on the net to see if others have solved this problem, but this has been fruitless.

Throughout all my attempts to get it working, I have managed to get it working up until the title screen, where it then stops responding on the loading screen after you start a new game.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What your PC spec

Sounds very much like you are either running on an on-board Intel graphics chip or old drivers.

Is this a desktop or laptop?

Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chip Family sound to me like a laptop if it is then you can't play FFXIV on this laptop there noting you can do.

If this is a desktop and have pci express 16 2.0 you can get 440 that can play this game or if you have money 6000s or 560s

It's a laptop >_<

Then you pretty much stuck you can't play FFXIV on that you can build a PC for pretty much 300-400$ that can play FFXIV without issue. But that all you can do you need a better computer to run ffxiv /

Money that I don't have. This is not the news I was looking for, but that can't be helped >_<

Sorry for that :( You should have done some research before buying the game if you have a ps3 you can play when it come out for that it would set you back 60$ tho not if you could find someone who have it for the ps3 and use there CD and you can use the account you just got now.

I don't have a PS3, either, unfortunately

You have long time before they release it maybe This nov or Q1 of next year. You no longer can return the game due to you using the Code so you pretty much stuck with it :( i would say save some money and went for ps3 the game right now is not that good they need a lot of fixing but by ps3 it be great.

I've been talking to a friend that plays FFXIV, and both her and her boyfriend play it on laptops way older than mine. Their laptops are Acer and Dell, respectively. They've had no issues with it at all

Some laptop can play because they have good video card build in yours is cheap pretty much only good for playing low end games you could play wow and final fantasy XI online with that but not Final fantasy XIV or any game that run more on GPU.

What setting do they play on this so said laptop? and do you know the spec for it?

I don't know the settings or specs for either of their laptops, I'll have to find that out

Most good 1k laptops can play FFXIV there a few 500+$ that can play but your video card is not good enough ask them what video card they have and that pretty much tell you why they could run and not you.
