My game is broken

Hello, I've been playing since open beta 3 and no problem so far, but since yesterday my game is simply weird.
Once in game, all text boxes are empty, there is glitch everywhere, I basically can't play, I tried to reinstall the game but it did not change a thing, bug is still there and I honeslty don't know what to do.

I have done everything you could think of, I reinstalled the game, updated my drivers, restarted my computer but nothing works.
Also, if I desactivate the nameplate, the bug goes off completly... So this is entirely nameplate related.

Bump, please help :'(

could be your graphics card?

Your graphics card okay?
Hope you find your Screen Shoots, it'll help alot.

Well, I updated the drivers and it did not change anything and I see no reason why my graphic card would suddenly not work, I launched WoW and LoL and it works just fine, plus i have been playing for about a week, since AA, and had 0 problem and now it happens, so yeah don't know what to think, and for the screenshots can someone tell me where they usually get saved? thanks

screenshots should be under my documents>my games>Final Fantasy ARR(blah)>screenshots, hope that helps

Only thing I have for the screenshot thing, is a Square Enix > FFXIV and then two directories named BOOT and GAME in which there is no screenshot directory.

try going back to my doc and selecting "my games" i made the same error numerous times (its a bit annoying)

Indeed found it, a bit weird but w/e so here's the screenshot, also depending on how i position my camera, the game might just display everything correctly or look like this plus some glitch on screen that are not on this screenshot, this one is with the box thing only.

What's that lol ? :)

Type up Dxdiag on the your windows button search bar. It should pop up there.
[Corner with the windows icon]

Yup what he said

What information do you need from this? I mean there is so many, i suppose the graphic ones so:
I removed the Deinterlace Caps part, too much things

Try going into graphic settings and set everything to default. relaunch. see if anything is better/worse. then adjust from there.
Looks like you're missing the font. Have you fiddled with any fonts lately?

Didn't touch anything, yesterday I was playing and everything was fine, i alt tab to windows come back and surprise, bug happens and since did not go off.

bump !

Restarted PC?

The issue didn't resolve itself after restarting the game?
try moving C:\Users\[Your account name]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV.cfg
file to a different place and restarting the client. You will have to re watch that long mandatory intro again but should clear out any bad settings.

I've restarted my pc, reinstalled the game, updated my graphic drivers, did not change anything.

bump !

Did not work :/
What ever this is, I found on another personn with the same problem and it seemed like the problem was linked to nameplate, did not find the answer yet but still, I don't know what to do, but I do hope that the upcomming maj is going to clear this.

Also, If i desactivate every nameplate, the bug goes off completly... So weird

bump !
