FFXIV: A Realm Reborn has stopped working.

All day today, whenever I click my character to get into a server, I get that error. This never happened to me until the patch today. I can type and log into the launcher, but the minute I select my character it gives me that error and the game crashes. It happens ONLY when I select my character to get into the world.
Anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have a fix?

EDIT:
Adastraa has a fix for the problem, you can see it on page 2.

A fix would be to find a better game.

:( I like this game when I can actually get in and I WANT To play this. I just need some help on how to fix this.

Does not happen to me. Try to re-install the client and see if fixed. After the patch went live, I log in with little trouble.

I have had your same problem since Aug 30th, the game hard crashes when you try to log into your character, even stranger, I bet you can log in just fine with characters other then the one you are experiencing this problem with.

I have tried to re-install and that doesn't fix it, it seems to be character based. I have had a ticket to have SE look into this problem but still not a word. At least we have each other.

;( I tried uninstalling and re-installing as well. I can't even check to see if its a character specific thing or not since I can't make a new character. It's so stressful. ;_; But at least we can hang out together.

I've had the same exact problem today. It really stinks. Have yet to find a solution, though.

I have a strange feeling the patch is to blame, but no way to prove it. I never had this problem before today.

EXACTLY! Me either. Its really, really frustrating.

Having same issue here, been reading through threads and tried a lot of different things from cleaning drivers out and reinstalling them to memory tests. Everything is working fine, came hear and saw a post about trying a different character so I did and it works just fine...

This thread is full of lies



It insinuates the game had been working.

I just tried creating a character on another server (Lamia). It's working just fine now.
It's possible that something corrupted your character data somehow.

Have you tried running it as admin? Not sure if that would help, just tossing it out there trying to help....

Oh god. ._. I really hope that's not the case. I wonder how long it will be before they start to notice this is even going on.

:( NOOOOO. None of the other things worked at all? ._. Does this mean we have to start all over?

So you logged out in your Inn room as well? So it probably has something to do with that, as I did the same thing.

So, I think I might have fixed the problem (me and op are friends). It seemed to have allowed her to log in again, so I figured I'd share it on here for whoever is having problems.

Problem:
After selecting a character on the Character Select screen, the game will crash.

Solution: (note: I'm not sure which one of these was the fix, since we did both steps at once)
- Go into My Documents/My Games/.
- Delete any Final Fantasy XIV Beta folders.
- Go into My Documents/My Games/Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn.
- Delete all saved character data (this includes all FFXIV_CHARA_XX.dat files as well as the character folders FFXIV_CHR0040017A4D885C).

After that, try launching the game and hopefully it works.


Good luck.

You have saved me from Support Ticket hell after 5 days.

You are my hero, thank you so much!

You're welcome. I'm glad the solution helped out. Mind sharing which of the solutions helped you? Did you have old Beta character data or did you just wipe the release's character data?

Adastraa, I tried looking for the said files, but I can't find them. Although it seems to happen to me for every character even with the new ones. I'll try to re0-install the game if there is no other solution/ (Note: all my phase 4 characters were available the since launch day)

Are people getting the same error as this one?

Yep! That's the one I was getting. :( Can you search your computer for the files?

I don't think re-installing is the solution here since the uninstaller does not seem to remove the "My Documents/My Games/Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn" folder. As above person said, try searching for the folder, it simply must be there somewhere.

After P4 I actually removed it myself just to start with a clean slate.

Adastraa, I can't really say which one did the trick, because I deleted the beta folder and the character data files at the same time, But I didn't play the beta with the character I had the problem with so I don't think the beta file had anything to do with it.

Ok, So I finally found the folder that has the saved characters. I could not find the beta folder, but I deleted the characters regardless. Would deleting my characters server side help?

I tried this and it I'm still having the same issue and it is still only on my Archer, it let lets me log in and play my other character just fine

In my case, its telling me its stopped working when I try to log in, before even getting to the selection screen xD Just...put in password, press log on, crashes. It started doing this after the last launcher update the other day, and I've tried reinstalling and the like to no avail. It quite a headache

MAybe when you uninstall you have to delete the entire folders.
