FFXIV Disappears after going away from keyboard.

Good Day

I've been having an issue where Final Fantasy XIV disappears when I go away for a while. There is no error, no message. The game just stops and it's gone. The process in the Task Manager also disappears. This behaviour happened prior install of windows 10. I reinstalled windows 10 again still happens the same.

What can be done here?

Thanks in advance.

Blow no the information regarding my setup:

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

To prevent repeating previously attempted troubleshooting, what have you tried to alleviate the problem? Does this crash happen when Final Fantasy XIV is the only program running? Where in game does the crash occur?

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

Hi Rhaervis

Also it all started a few weeks ago. Game would disappear every time went Idle. So i decided to make clean install of windows10 and reinstall ff xiv. Apparently this didn't helped. I went with Microsoft Certified only recommended drivers up to this point. It didn't help. So decided to update to the latest drivers and still the same behaviour. Also tried the latest GPU driver version. It all happens very random and only went I get idle. At this point I really dunno what else todo. Deleted app data from %AppData%, changed quality settings for the game. I usually have the game in borderless window. I've noticed that i get a random error message when I sort my inventory in game. doesn't happen every often but there might be a link there.

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

Have any changes happened to the device before the issue began? We would also like to recommend several other troubleshooting steps:

1) Make sure that your hardware is not overheating and remove any overclocks you may have on your graphics card or processor. Please check that any fans or vents are clear of blocks.
2) Disable any additional programs that could cause interference with the game itself including chat programs. Also, remove any custom configurations made using graphics driver-level programs.
3) Turn off Fullscreen Optimizations. Find the executable file for the game (normally found in the install folder), right-click it and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box labeled 'Disable Fullscreen Optimizations', then click 'Apply'.
4) Remove any unnecessary USB or audio devices (controllers, headphones, flash drives etc.)
5) Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card
6) Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything

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

Done and done. All recommendation that you did i followed. Still with the same problem. Upgraded all drivers to the maximum.
My Hardware isn't overheating since. Even after rebooting the operating system.

Any news? Anything helpful?

Check Settings/Privacy/Background Apps and see if your game happens to be in the list and turned off.
As you run the game in Windowed Mode, it can loose foreground if you are not active in the game or have something else also open/running, which Window 10 may decide it to be a background app at that point and subject to power management restrictions when idle.

This happens while the game is focused and no other application is running.

Nope, not in the list.

I turned down all setting and set it to Desktop Standard, now I'm getting the following error:


https://66.media.tumblr.com/071219ef...13eb363c53.png

Started FFXIV, went into MSQ Roulette 30 seconds later the game crashed.

And again in the Preatorium after the second boss.

And again after beating the boss and starting a cutscene.

And again before engaging Ultima Weapon.

And again after defeating Ultima weapon, second form.

Could you change your settings in game so you don’t go afk? Maybe that’ll help? I’m on ps4 and I can change that in my settings to adjust the time before afk. I know it’s not the fix you want but maybe try?

The crashes were happening only after being afk. Now the crashed happen also while playing. So changing the afk setting won't help much while in game.

I’m sorry. :( Hopefully somebody on here has some good advice.

One thing I would check for; run a malware/UWP scan on your computer (MalwareBytes is a very good free program to do this with)
I have ran across this a few times on Windows computers I have worked on/fixed for friends.....
A trojan running in the background, that does CryptoCurrency Mining, of which is set to only start running if the computer has been idle for X-amount of time.
Once it begins running, it eat 100% of the system resources of both the CPU and GPU, of which can cause other things that happen to be running to lock up.
It is designed to stop running the second any user input is detected and return into a stealth mode, as in you walk away for some time, the trojan turns on, other programs lock up, bug-out, or crash, you walk back and the first thing you do it move the mouse to the error message, which causes the trojan to turn off.

It might be that you have one such trojan and it kicking on causes the game to crash.


Just a thought...

its not a trojan(highley doubt it) as almost 100 + people in tech support forum having same issue. it seems related to dx11 so swap to dx9 and you should be fine (when you start the launcher go into the setting and swap to dx9 ) game looks worse but it stop crashing

Thank you for the update Reih.

We apologize for the delay in our response. We'd recommend running the game in a simple environment to prevent anything interfering with the game. This will include closing any programs and removing any unnecessary devices (headphones, USB devices, etc.). If the previously stated troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, you may be experiencing a hardware-related issue. If this is the case, unfortunately, we would not be able to assist further.

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

I will try that, if this keeps happening guess, as a consequence, I have to stop playing FFXIV. It's the only application having trouble on my pc. Everything else runs as intended. Including the 41 other games installed in this game, including 14 Square Enix games, all work perfectly.

There's no support, there's no solution. Limit of support has been set. The only possible outcome is closing the thread.I work on the medical field where support limits are unacceptable or at least to a 95% manageable. Guess the standards for SE are set lower. Thank you, please close the thread.

Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Per the original poster's request, this thread will be moved to 'Closed Concerns.' If anyone is still having this particular problem, please create a new thread and we will assist you in any way we can.
