Wellhead Lift in Ul'dah is Broken!!!

(I'm posting here, since I don't know a specific section of the Forums where this won't get lost. Please, moderators, feel free to move as you see fit.)

About 75% of the times I take the Wellhead Lift, out of Ul'dah's Ruby Road, to go to the Airship Landing, the game crashes on me. I haven't done a scientific test, but I think skipping the cutscene diminishes the chances of crashing.

Has anybody else been pestered by this inconvenient bug? Is it even a bug, or is it my own private issue? Please comment.

might be an issue on your side. I tend to crash at cut scenes occasionally as well.

I use that lift alot, I have never once had an issue myself, so I would guess its not a general bug.

No problems here, I'd post it in the bug report section if you haven't.

Thanks to the three of you for your comments. I have spoken to a few members of my linkshell, and also a few friends in my server (Selbina.) Quite a few among them have been experiencing similar issues at the lift. Could it, then, be a server-related bug that we are dealing with? This problem never before presented itself, on this or any other cutscene, until a couple of days ago. Our stories are consistent in that as well.

it happens to me too...why does it have to go cut scene for something so mundane?

I had it crash my game when I tryed to skip the cutscene. This maybe because the game needs more time to load me into the next area.

I used to have a few crashes in full screen during cutscenes but switched to windowed mode and now the game runs much more smoothly.

I've heard of some ppl experiencing a crash at certain CSs, once it happens it continues to happen at the same CS or loading area.

Most of the time a chkdsk resolves the issue, give it a whirl.

FYI: open my computer > right click hard drive (where ffxiv resides) > properties > tools tab > check now button > autofix errors yes > attempt restore bad sectors no > ok to schedule scan on next restart > restart pc > scan will auto start

Yeah, I remember that my game crashed frequently during cutscenes in Full Mode, but when I switched to windowed mode, it rarely crashes at all.

I crash when i go to airship dock in ulduh using the wellhead. I crash once it loads inside, or after i pay for a trip somewhere. These two crash me all the time. and SE never gives me my 5k gil refund or teleport to different city. so i repay

I always try to skip the CS's as fast as I can and that one crashes on me every time I try to skip it before it starts. I learned to let it play a little bit then skip it.

This belongs in the bug section and you would get a reply much faster if you posted there.

The same thing happened to me today once lol.

I haven't had it crash my game, but it does occasionally not respond when I select it from the menu. At times it takes multiple tries to finally get it to bring up the window of what floor you want go to. I have ridden both the lifts in Ul'dah and LL many times and only seem to ever have the problem on that particular spot you described in Ul'dah. Coming down the Ul'dah lift is never a problem, just going up it.

I've known that happen to a few people on Selbina with that lift.
