"A fatal DirectX error has occurred.(11000002)" Error Message

This error has been periodically crashing my game and computer since Shadowbringers launch. In the past week or two, it has been much more frequent. It has gotten to the point where I can not complete and instanced dungeon without the game crashing - so I cannot advance the story at all.

I have searched the forums and the main advice seems to be:

• Update graphics drivers
• Change to borderless window instead of fullscreen
• Perform clean boot and run the game

I have tried all of these methods to no avail. As well as:

• Changing out the thermal paste on my GPU (I first thought it was a overheating issue)
• Reinstalling the game
• Doing a clean install of my graphics drivers

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have any effect. The game still crashes.

I have lost a lot of subscription time because of this error that I am more and more believing is a game-based error and not an issue with my machine.

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Have any updates or changes been made to the PC that coincide with the crash?When the crash occurs, are were there any programs or overlays running in the background. If you have not done so already, could you try disabling them?

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

This sounds like the same issue i had. It has something to do with c states (i do not know what exactly that is or what they do), but i do know that the only game that seems affected by it is ff14. You'll want to boot up your bios, look for a setting that mentions c states and disable it. Its location is different for every motherboard model, so you will just have to look for it. This solved my issue, never had a random direct x crash again.

Many MANY people are having the same issue .. I myself did everything I could think of and then rolled back my Nvidia Drives to JUly 7th (I think) .. Seemed to work BUT I Also I had to lock my FR's to 60 anything more then that then I get crashes > ITS A GAME ISSUE not your machine. TOO many people having the same exact issues game wide.

Dynratygus, thank you for your reply.

Any updates or changes that coincide with the crash?
Nothing other than standard Windows updates, I guess. I have been having these issues since installing Shadowbringers and since then there haven't been many changes to my PC.


When the crash occurs, are were there any programs or overlays running in the background. If you have not done so already, could you try disabling them?

I believe a clean boot eliminates any or all programs/overlays running in the background, correct? If so, as I mentioned on my main post, I have already received the same results when running the game after a clean boot.

You'll want to boot up your bios, look for a setting that mentions c states and disable it. Its location is different for every motherboard model, so you will just have to look for it. This solved my issue, never had a random direct x crash again.

Thanks for your reply, Nockvryca.

I will take a look at C states and see if I can work something out.

Thanks for your message, GoofyBoots.

I rolled back by Nvidia drivers once before so it may be worth a shot. My monitor doesn't go any higher than 60hz, so I am locked at that frame rate anyhow.

I have the same problem as well, except mine is a Alienware gaming laptop. What I solve my DirectX error (11000002) problem (for now) is running Final Fantasy XIV through Compatibility Mode. It works with Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Good morning in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Could you try changing the compatibility mode? 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 Windows 7.

Thank you for your reply.

I have just finished attempting to run the game with ffxivboot.exe in Windows 7 Compatibility mode. It crashed again with the same DirectX error when running an instanced dungeon. To test whether it will crash or not I have been running the same dungeon (Dohn Mehg) via Trust system so I don't abandon any real party members if I do crash. The game eventually crashes while running the dungeon, never in the same area or at a consistent time. I am never able to finish the dungeon.

However, I spent sometime in the open world running errands before entering Dohn Mehg and the game did not crash. It seems to crash only when I am running instanced content. I don't know if this information matters.

Thanks again for your reply. I hope to find a solution soon.

I haven't had issues the past few times I have played the game. Here is what I have done:

• I have rolled back the Nvidia driver to the version just before the current one.
• I have underclocked my GPU.
• I reapplied thermal paste on the GPU (mentioned in the original post).
• I play the game after a clean boot. (mentioned in the original post).

I am unsure of whether my ability to play is because of one or a combination of these things, but so far I have not had the DirectX error occur. Hopefully this information can help anyone else that comes across this error.
