Fatal DirectX Errors

Hi there.

So I was gifted this game so I could play with others towards the end of last year - and since day 1 I have been having issues with DirectX. Through trial and error and *luck* I have been able to alleviate it and have had sessions or days without it, but invariably I suffer the issue at least once a play through.

And at this point it seems to have fucked with my graphic card in of itself - no other games or tasks have caused problems, but twice now ff14 has outright blue-screened my laptop, and there was a whole side issue or my laptop not acknowledging the graphics card at all for a day directly after that crash. It's also not old and a gaming laptop that has had 0 issues with anything else so... : /

I will say I switched from Directx 11 to 9 recently and had some more luck, until particularly recently with both blue screens being in that mode. I also tired a wipe of the game from the system and reinstalled last night, and I was able to get into the game a few times but almost instantly upon loading in it freezes and I cannot play.

Not sure what else to do at this point! I really enjoy the game when it's working, and it was a git to play with people dear to me, so I want to get this solved. As is it's unplayable, and has been on and off, as at times I've gotten Fatal DirectX errors (of so many numbers, I apologize I don't have a list at the moment) so frequently, or even upon just hitting 'Play'.

That said there's overall been no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it seems like playing in higher volume areas, being in parties or fates is stressing it, but other times I've played 6 hours with no problem and then in the middle of nothing, nowhere, with no one - there's the error.

Here's the system specs and all.

Also preemptively, while I'll do whatever I can to suss this out as asked/provide info, I am not super up on tech jargon and google isn't always helpful. So definitely use layman's terms, but I'll be as helpful as I can! I'm just so frustrated and want to play this game, ugh.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Unfortunately, this error is a bit vague so it's difficult to tell exactly what is causing it. However, I do have a few suggestions.

First, you can try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game. When you play the game, make sure to have no other programs running, especially overlays (Geforce Experience, Discord overlay, etc.).

Open the Nvidia Control Panel and going to 'Manage 3D Settings'. From here, select 'Program Settings' and select Final Fantasy XIV. You should see an option to select the GPU. Make sure it's set to your dedicated graphics card (it may be set to 'Auto' by default).

Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 Right-click on the ffxivboot.exe file and select ‘Properties.’ Then select the ‘Compatibility’ tab and choose Windows 7.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

If it helps make it less vague: Pretty much EVERY listed "Fatal DirectX Error" in these forums has happened to me, since I started playing the game. They've come and gone in severity/numbers but have never stopped.

I've done a clean boot before to no avail. I've just done the other two suggestions, and I'll update from there, but an update from yesterday:
I managed to get into the game, several times! On DirectX 9. That said, before long the game would freeze up, but only visually. The audio would keep going, and to some degree I could hit buttons, move, head sound effects from the menu. If I opened task manager from there it would sometimes knock it out of it, but eventually it would do it, and go black/stop allowing input and I would have to exit entirely. No fatal directx pop-ups but clearly not ideal gameplay, lol.

I'd suggest checking the Windows Event Log to get more details on why it's crashing.

XIV is notoriously picky about how it interacts with both the Nividia drivers and Windows drivers so if things aren't perfectly aligned between the three, errors of varying severity will occur, ranging from simple client crashes to GPU/PC crashes like you're experiencing. Down/upgrading Nvidia drivers can sometimes fix it.

I started having GPU shutdowns after Windows upgraded me to version 1809, which I seem to have finally resolved by both downgrading to a known stable Nividia driver (416.94 with the latest Windows version) and also updating my motherboard chipset drivers to the latest ones as well. After doing so, I only got a minor client crash as my latest error, which I believe was tied to the Windows Game Mode being on, so I shut that off and am hoping things are finally back to normal.

Hmm. I'll have a look and see after I get back from work, but I JUST updated both my windows and my Nvidia. I'll try that combo you have, though admittedly *downgrading* a driver sounds trickier to suss out than just upgrading one to me, hah.
Thank you for that btw! I was just trying to play before I leave for work and I'm not getting crashes but it keeps freezing, if I pull out and into task manager it'll go black and then come back, and then I can take like 5 steps and it starts flashing green in the sky and such, before it will freeze visibly again, or sometimes just go black and stay there.

TBH, you might be dealing with a faulty GPU if you're visibly seeing graphics distortion and such prior to the crashes.

My game was running fine at a smooth 60 FPS prior to any of the crashes without any visual weirdness going on which made me refuse to believe it was the GPU at fault. It also always occurred in extremely low stress situations with scarcely any players around, so it had nothing to do with GPU load, either. I even stress tested the GPU for several minutes using Furmark and it had no issues, so I knew it had to be a driver conflict of some sort.

EDIT: I've now been playing for close to six hours with no crashes, so I feel safe to say I've resolved the issue. It definitely would not hurt to make sure your motherboard drivers are up to date and to do some research to see what Nvidia drivers are stable on whatever Windows update version you're using. Running tests on your GPU and RAM to ensure they aren't failing is also a good idea.

See the problem is, I'd believe that more easily except FF14 is the only thing it has ever has issue with? And it's relatively new. \:
But as I said in the OP, I'm not deeply tech savvy, so, insert a shrug here, hah.

But thank you, I'll look into all of that!!

Voidkissed,

Could you copy and paste the error message or provide a screen shot of the crash in your next reply?

Hope to see you online!

Well! Like I was saying, the new issue appears to be a screen freezing issue? Which means there's not really been anything to show you, a screencap isn't exactly going to show that the music is still going and everything but I suddenly can't do anything ect ect. And it's not been coming with an error message.

I do have this though, it did it a couple of times and the third time I tried the ctrl alt delete trick, then clicking back to it which normally seemed to fix it for the short term. This time it went and got downright unresponsive, haha.

(And disclaimer, haha: I'm having this issue even without discord running in the background, and the overlay is off. Just so happened to give it a go today. I was having the same problem the night before last, actually, with it spiking particularly while trying to do a dungeon.)

Check the Windows event viewer.

It more often then not will still log an error of some sort even if no error pops up when the XIV client crashes.

Liiiiike this?
I couldn't even begin to tell which if these is right, none of them mention the FF14 application.

(Thanks for your help by the way! I'm not tech illiterate but this sort of issue definitely reaches into the sort of tech stuff I really don't know, or know yet at least)

If you remember when the game crashed, check the errors that occurred around that timestamp.

You'd specifically want to look for errors that mention display drivers, DX11, and other GPU related functions that XIV needs to run properly, as those are the usual culprits when it comes to crashes of this nature.

You might be in an awkward situation like me where the PC is crashing while gaming but not actually logging any errors, though (Which seems to imply it's an issue pertaining to the motherboard settings or something else that's out of the Windows event log's reach).

You might be in an awkward situation like me where the PC is crashing while gaming but not actually logging any errors, though (Which seems to imply it's an issue pertaining to the motherboard settings or something else that's out of the Windows event log's reach).

---

I'm not seeing any errors that directly correlated with that? And again, now the issue isn't that it's crashing atm (that might be fixed? Unless this is a new weird way of the error manifesting without any full crash or error pop-up) - it's that the video "freezes" (audio keeps going, and to some degree I can affect my character with buttons but nothing is happening visually). If I ctrl+alt+delete myself into task manager and then click back into the game it seems to fix itself for a moment, but then does it again, be it in the same inute or like 10 later.

Including this morning, just a moment ago! And I tried to pull up the logs asap, so it's roughly everything from 11:25 and onwards - but none of them mention display drivers, DX11 (p sure I'm playing on 9 atm, because 11 was REFUSING to work, but I'll switch to it and give it a quick test after this reply). I really can't make sense of them or figure out which one of these is most helpful. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: POTENTIAL soft fix as of updated my drivers and windows just for the hell of it, yet again (nothing appeared to be major), back on DX11, Fullscreen not Borderless, FPS Limit set to 60. Got the idea from a separate thread.
We'll see, but it let me in on DX11 for the first time in effectively ages. And that's still not like... a fix imo, that's a work around - given the degree of people, especially with Nvidia cards, having issues with this game *something* is up. :/
I'm gonna take a stab at playing for awhile, and I'll report back if there's any of the issues.

Yeah no DX11 is unplayable atm. I couldn't even get in without getting a 110000022 error. \:

Screenshots below, plus went ahead and reopened it and got system settings again to help convey.... anything, something lol.

ALRIGHT scratch that soft fix from the record: Got another of the same Fatal DX Errors (110000022). Was hanging out in Eastern Thanalan, unmoving in the rain and with some fireflies floating around, while I messed with the HUD settings. Essentially I was doing next to nothing and it still borked itself.

For interested parties:

Compiling the data as I get it here, and because this is getting a bit ridiculous. :/ I'd really appreciate more help or input.

So I managed to install an older driver (will have the specs below) that was in the time range of what someone else struggling with this issue did to remedy it. It crashed after approx 2 hours last night, and then I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of FF14 AGAIN. Boot it this morning, got the error (11000002) within like, 3 minutes of playing - just fighting fireflies in the same spot.
I'm going to try another run, just letting it sit I guess, after checking my FPS limiter setting once more.

EDIT: Well nevermind that, set the limiter to 30 and it borked as soon as I tried to sign my character in. :/

(If anyone has a SPECIFIC driver to suggest and can link me to it, by all means - I was struggling to find older ones)

The windows event log you should be checking is the Administrative Events log under Custom View.

As far as stable drivers go, I've been using 416.94 as per recommendation from some people on the Nvidia forums and tellingly, I haven't had a single DX11 related crash in weeks (It turned out I was actually crashing recently because of my GPU overheating...). Make sure your motherboard drivers are also up to date because that made the difference between me immediately crashing and things working smoothly at times.

If you haven't already, make sure Windows Game Mode is turned off along with the Xbox Overlay, as both are known to cause problems. I'd also try adjusting both your Nvidia and PC settings to prioritize maximum performance if you haven't already and also link state management in advanced power settings.

Alright, thanks for more input! I'm in that log now and found 2 things at the right time, so maybe one of them tells us anything? One even mentions a driver. : P That said I don't know too much how to make heads or tails of them.
(Thanks for being patient and repeatedly pitching in! As previously established this is the most indepth I've had to get tech wise with a game, like, ever lol, and I've had this problem from like day 1 at this point)

https://imgur.com/wCNdpWL

https://imgur.com/gBGMsJU

And I'll look into that driver asap!
Windows game mode and xboix overlays have been off, but I'll check again. And just so I make sure I understand, what do you mean by priortizing performance? As in, like, here, I'll pull up the GeForce thing.
I had at one point shoved it towards battery, assuming less is more, and having all my visual settings on bare bones had been my first obvious attempt at fixing it, but...
(As for PC, my power stuff is mostly on Balance I believe - is it something I should be adjusting there? Sorry to be seemingly clueless, no other game or activity has ever required me to mess around like this, so I'm just a bit inexperienced)

https://imgur.com/VlkDxOE

And thank you, this is the first I heard about link state management, I just found it and turned it off!

Well, that driver and an attempt to play scored me a Windows bluescreen! Which is the second time Final Fantasy has done that - not to blame FF exclusively but my computer has never had issues like this with anything else. All I had done was popped open task manager when the game was logging me in.
I ran the appropriate Scan and Repair after that, and I'm going to try and boot it again. After that I guess update to the most current driver, since that was the only new element I can place.

My GPU may or may not be to blame in of itself, but I also don't like the fact it NEVER had issues before and recently has had 2 incidences/any issues it's EVER shown have been with Final Fantasy.
My only other idea is to completely remove my virus protector, on the off chance my specific one and FF14 don't agree at all, but that needs to be remedied if so. \: I'm kind of grasping at straws atm.

Okay I am going to keep commenting here on the off chance SOMETHING or SOMEONE can help. This is completely asinine and ridiculous. My Laptop has handled the benchemark wonderfully, has each time. I have tried essentially every fix I've found everywhere, multiple clean installs, complete clean driver uninstalls and reinstalls, took various programs (including, temporarily, my antivirus)... and I am STILL getting these errors. I had about an hour of gameplay earlier, even got through a duty which had killed it prior (sometimes it's areas with lots of characters and flashing and battles that trigger it! Other times, it's clicking away and back (played windowed, clicked to my deskptop after it had been running for about that hour and did that duty flawlessly, was standing around letting it run while I debated that dungeon prior and when I clicked back, error! Left the game and came back, constant errors as it tried to load me in! All 1100002)

Switching to 9 doesn't fix it, because then I just get stuttering and freezing. Even on the lowest I can figure out how to get the graphics settings. And it's not even full game freezing, a lot of time it's just the audio, the music and other things will often continue.

I'm including my current specs once more. I'm just... really tired and frustrated of this. If it was more sporadic and I could consistently get at least a few hours without error, didn't constantly worry it would happen during dungeons, you know... the game was actually playable this would be tolerable. But this just isn't. ):

You might want to try verifying whether or not your GPU is operating in the correct PCI-E mode using GPU-Z or some other monitor program.

It turned out my issues were actually being caused by my GPU randomly deciding to run in a mode that was way lower then its intended one, which was causing random boot failures and crashes as the motherboard was treating it like something it wasn't.

I might do that, though I had been having some success the past two days with the Underclocking my GPU Method!
I've just been testing the water with ti since, and I've had a couple of freezes, but I'm running it at High settings and was doing things like streaming or using the discord overlay. Like I said, testing waters, haha.

Voidkissed, I apologize for the delay in our response.

When was the last time you updated the graphics drivers? I noticed on the system report, the last update for the graphics driver was done in 2016. There is a recent version available as of April 11, 2019. Please make sure the drivers have been updated (if you have not been done so already) .

Also mentioned that Direct X 11 is unplayable. Could you try uninstalling and doing a clean reinstall of Direct X?

Please keep us updated on the situation.

Completely remove Steam.

Try to downclock your GPU in 10 or 20 MHZ steps, i had these too when i got my new GPU, the GPU was running in OC Mode, and hat these Fatal Direct X errors in other games too (Dying Light, Diablo 3), since i turned the switch to Non OC Mode, my games running fine without errors (Currently running at 1340/2000 MHZ). I guess Direct X 11 ist pretty sensitive with Ooverclocked GPUs (maybe not for everyone) try it.
