I crash everytime i do one of the following:

Open my gearor inventory menu anywhere.

Open world map in Gridania or anywhere on chocobo

Try to buy something from the Company Officer in the Adders Nest. (Especially under the Regimentals)


Repeatable 100%

Because of this I can't play the game.

Same things happen to me.

I'm crashing when I change weapons in Thanalan. I'm getting the 30002 error I used to get when I did macro equipment swaps. Coincidence?

anyone have any tips on working past this?

I'm also having the world map problem in Gridania. I don't have the other problems you have, though. If I were to guess, something got corrupted during the patching and we'll have to reinstall... but I am waiting on a more educated response because this is not my expertise.

If there is some way we can repatch the game, that might work, but is there any way to do that without reinstalling?

I attempted reinstalling everything and it still did not fix my issues. It would be great if a dev could make light on something I can do since the game is unplayable at this point.

EDIT: I've narrowed the inventory issue down to two items in my inventory that cause the crash. I'd like to have them removed if possible. The Taurus Staff and Astaroth Cane. Whenever they appear in my inventory the game will automatically crash. Please if a dev could remove them, you have my permission.

Yeah... I've crashed myself in Gridania like over 10 times trying to enlist in my company. Checking the map is a major habit for me, I like to see where I'm going especially with the size of the maps in XIV. I've noticed something possibly odd about my map, maybe you can test it on your end too and maybe it could serve to narrow down the problem a little bit. I can view the Gridania map anywhere except for a large chunk around the town. I can view Nine Ivies, Tranquil, and Emerald Moss areas, but Grid/Bentbranch crash me if I scroll my map into that area. It's like the "zone map" for Bentbranch/Grid is missing/corrupted or something, idk. :(

I'm having the EXACT same issues. Like you I also have a Taurus Staff in my possession and think that may be the root of my inventory crashing problems. Currently in the process of having a friend log in for me and seeing if he can drop it...

As for the map and the regimentals thing, I guess only SE will be able to solve that =(

Hey all, I am also having the same problem on two different PCs and SE accounts. I tried re-installing the game to no avail.
It appears to be that only Conjurer staves that are causing the client to crash. I have tried speaking to the NPC in Ul'dah that sells Weathered Cane, Johannes Merchant Strip (7, 4), and it DID crash the client as well.

In fact, I did thought of asking a friend to throw my staves, but that will really not solve the root problem.

Edit: Confirmed that Gridania Map is also crashing the client... Apparently we are in a common issue.

I am also having difficulty with the game crashing when I load the The Black Shroud map or just randomly doing things. I was near Bentbranch and Emerald Moss when loading the map.

<edit> I also just randomly crashed in Gridania while talking to an NPC in the Twin Adders area.

Can we get some kind of response on these issues? Personally I'm only experiencing the map problem in The Black Shroud but this thread has made it apparent it's not just me. It would be nice if a support employee can chime in and give us some direction. The OP tried reinstalling and that didn't work, so what else can we really do?

I found by having a friend log into my account and throwing away(yep I did) my Astaroth Cane and Taurus Staff actually fixed that issue. HOWEVER, the issue still happens if i "check" anyone with either equipped. I'm really frustrated I had to remove them to play my game AND that there was no other alternative other than to have a friend do this for me.

REinstalling does not help. It would be great if SE could address the issue, even a little. I've submitted bug reports and annoyed a few GMs.

That's a very odd bug. At least multiple people have the exact same issue, so it should be easier to figure out what's causing it.

OK.. I have setup the game on my laptop and let it download all the patches and guess what, NO CRASH!!. I open my inventory and see Conjurer staves and the maps no problems.

So it seems while downloading the patches the data got corrupted midway on my Desktops. I will update again when I copy the game data from laptop into the Desktop!

I think the solution is re-installing the game from the DVD and let it download the patches via the XIV updater and not using uTorrent. I really don't know, because I tried that yesterday, maybe SE *fixed* it somehow?

Note: The laptop had no previous FFXIV installed, just FYI :)

Hope this helps.
~Peace

I did re-install fully from the DVD Zarcon that did not fix my issues. I'm sure its a data error problem but reinstalling and dling from the updater doesn't fix it.

Did everyone with these problems use the torrent to download the patches? I did. Maybe that could be a part of the problem?

i have same probleme since 1.19, all the time server error (30002)

i can't play......

I think something is really messed up in the ffxivconfig.exe.

When installing FFXIV the 1st time the default settings for the language is Japanese... So, I have simply changed the language to Japanese and its working... but, when setting it back to English, it crashes!

So the culprit is >>>>>>> ffxivconfig.exe <<<<<<<<

I cannot seem to find the registry entries for FFXIV in regard of configuration, I wonder how it gets hooked up.

Note: Copying data files from my Laptop did NOT resolve, so its not file corruption.

im on saronia and im haven the same probs cant change my gear cant open my items list and cant check the map with out getting dc. ive try'd everything i so try'd my mule lvl4 mrd and i get the same probs so its not just conjurer staff's . idk what it is but game is unplayable for me untill the fix this

My apologies, are you guys using Windows fonts? For some reason, default font seems to fix it for me.

Wow, that fixed it for me. I hate the default font so I am a little sad about this, but hopefully SE fixes it soon. THANK YOU.

this is my issue:

the client randomly crash when I teleport to another maps

yuppers that helped thanx zarcon

yeah awesome Zarcon thanks.

Thanks everyone^^. Well it might be a minor cause, because it only happens on certain settings on the configuration.

Problem: The game client crashes when it tries to load up the "text" description on some Maps and Weapons.

Cause: When changing the default fonts to any Windows system fonts, causes the game to crash. Changing language other than English when using Windows fonts, will not cause the game to crash.

Workaround: Setting to use to default font (uncheck box) instead of Windows system fonts will sort it out.

Hopefully this info. can reach the Devs.

~Peace

Ill crash everytime I try to create a new character if SE don't want new player's then (-.-)b

This fixed not only my newly-acquired "caster weapon mouseover" crash, but also the longstanding crash when attempting to accept or view the Imperial Devices (Gridania) quest information.

Thanks a ton!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, IVE SPENT DAYS TRYING TO FIX THIS, AND THE FONT THING WORKED, THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU!

this is awesome thank you Zarcon

Not sure if this is related to the problem you're all having but my game is crashing whenever I access the Arms vendor in Limsa Lominsa and select "Disciple of Magic Arms"

K nvm Problem solved, I disabled windows system fonts like Zarcon suggested and it fixed the problem. Thank you Zarcon :)

Ummm have any of you also tried to check your video card drivers? A few of our LS members had similar issues. One who had a Nvidia card was crashing when trying to open maps; resolution, update to newest driver. The other this weekend had an ATI card, issue, game crashed during only one specific leave. The lettuce one in LL with Dodos, can't remember the full name. Anyway, I had him roll back his drivers as ATI usually WILL jack up FF games and rolling them back fixed that issue.

Just some ideas.

Sadly some of us have problems with Recast Timers, Casting bar and time remaining of status effects when using default font, so we have to choose between recast or some game crashes.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Status-effects.

I had an issue with my client crashing whenever i equipped,synthed,checked someone wearing a cane/staff it turned out it was because of my font seeting i changed it from default when i changed it back it fixed everything. Give this a try if u changed it in config go back to default setting not windows setting. Props to Solace for giving me the suggestion.
