Computer recently updated Windows 10, and ever since, I've been consistently getting the following errors every time I close the game. So, entirely possible it's something on my end that needs fixing (or yet another thing Windows broke). I've also had a similar crash while trying to tab out of the game, though I have yet to reproduce that particular error to document it.
Upon Exiting the game, this error pops up:
Upon closing that error, the following error comes up:
Hello Hasrat, Thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums
Please try the following suggestions:
- Switch to DirectX 9 mode (select ‘Config’ from the launcher)
- Update/reinstall Graphics card drivers
- Disable all programs/overlays running in the background
- Perform a clean boot*
- Set compatibility mode to Windows 7/8**
- Make sure that any anti-virus software they have has the appropriate exceptions
- Install game on C drive (The same drive as the Operating System)
*To perform a clean boot for Windows 8/10: Open the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. For Windows 7: Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press Enter to start the System Configuration utility. On the General tab, click the Selective startup option, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box. On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all. For Mac: Restart the Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key. The Apple logo appears on your display. Release the Shift key when you see the login window.
**To change compatibility mode, right click on the exe file (Default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot\ffxivboot.exe), right click it and select ‘Properties.’ Select the ‘Compatibility’ tab and select an earlier version of Windows (most likely 8 or 7).
Hope to be of assistance, Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV! Hope to see you online.
Switching to DirectX 9 mode prevents the game from launching at all. Pressing 'Play' while DirectX 11 Support is set to 'Off' immediately crashes on launch, producing the following error.
Drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 card have just been updated for an unrelated issue.
Anti-virus software has been unchanged since prior to the Windows 10 update, when the game performed without issue.
Game has been installed on C: drive since prior to the Windows 10 update, when the game performed without issue.
Clean Boot and Compatibility Mode will be tested when game returns online.
Thank you for the update Hasrat.
Please let us know if the other suggestions resolve the issue or not.
We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
Set Compatibility Mode to Windows 7
Open launcher, log in, start game, select character, stay in game for a couple of minutes, Exit Game, produces original errors.
Set Compatibility Mode to Windows 8
Repeat previous steps, produces original errors.
Perform Clean Boot
Repeat previous steps, produces same original errors.
For good measure, confirmed through OEM website that NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 drivers were up to date, downloaded and installed additional update
Repeat Previous steps, produces original errors.
All tests performed without any active background programs or overlays.

Thank you for the update Hasrat.
You mentioned you updated the graphics card drivers but your system report looks like they are still out of date. Try downloading the drivers here and installing them that way: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
Yeah, sure. But:
However, please note that your notebook original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends that you check with your notebook OEM about recommended software updates for your notebook. OEMs may not provide technical support for issues that arise from the use of this driver.
Led me to check through the MSI support site, providing the certified 382.05 version.
However, installing version 398.11, restarting computer, and performing previous test steps still produces the original set of errors.
Thank you for the update Hasrat.
What power mode is your laptop using? If you are using one that is designed to save power, it can be switching from the dedicated GPU to the integrated graphics card, causing the crash. Make sure the laptop is set to the high performance battery mode. Also keep it plugged in if possible.
It may be worth checking out any optional or recommended Windows 10 updates that may not be installed automatically.
We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
Yeah, it's always been in high performance, and always plugged in.
Can't seem to locate any optional updates Funny enough, seems like Windows 10 doesn't have the same functionality as previous version with regards to centralizing optional update settings. I'd have to download some extra third party software just to check for optional updates (few, if any, I ever actually found personally necessary, but that's just me).
Funny enough, I may just consider instead reverting to a previous version of Windows 10, when game functionality was not impaired.
Appreciate the assistance, but it sounds like we've reached a point where SE help isn't the solution, and it's just Windows being Windows.
Fortunately it's not any sort of game breaking error preventing me from playing. Just a strange little hiccup when closing that I thought I'd bring up in case it merited any sort of compatibility troubleshooting. Kinda hoped the errors themselves might offer enough hints to the source of the problem, but I suppose you only have access to so many tools to help remotely problem solve.
Actually, let's google around a little bit. And what do I find? Looks like users have reported the same error previously, with no real solution ever found.
Some of the results I'm seeing that are related to Final Fantasy XIV seem to be rooted in reshading mods or software or whatever. I don't fall into that category, as I've never installed any such programs. But I may try reducing graphics settings to see if that changes anything.
Additionally have found information suggesting I should have uninstalled previous NVIDIA drivers prior to installing the latest version. Not sure how reliable/necessary this step may have been.
So, dunno what solution, if any, previous users ever found, but I would figure if it's not being discussed as an ongoing issue, they must've managed some sort of resolution.
In any case, unless you can come up with any more ideas, it might just be up to me to continue digging around until I hit on some useful nugget of information.
Those errors are pretty common when you're using shaders like ReShade or SweetFX. Do you have any dxgi.dll or d3d11.dll files in your game folder? (This would be the same location as the game .exe file).
Hello Hasrat Thank you for your response.
I would like to suggest rolling back your windows update to a older version and seeing if this makes any difference. Please keep us updated on your issue.
Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV! Hope to see you online.
Welp. When I first considered that option a few days ago, the option to do so was still there (which gave me the idea in the first place). But, evidently waiting until the weekend to get it done is too long, and now the option to roll back is unavailable to me. Great job, Windows.
So, guess I'm stuck with the errors on closing the game until this update actually gets fixed.
Due to no response from the OP, we are going to assume this issue is resolved and will be moving this thread to "closed concerns". Please do not hesitate to create a new thread if this issue continues or if you have new issues.
