Random Crashes

While his specs are low, I'd wager it's not his system. There is clearly something wrong with the game that is causing a lot of random crashes for a lot of people, including those well above the minimum or even recommended system specs.

It IS a FFXIV problem. There's no mistaking that. But it seems like almost everyone who's running the game with minimum specifications has a high crash rate, so it's difficult to attribute the problem to any one thing.

I'm running a 3.2ghz 6-core, 8 gigs of ddr3, and a 460GTX, and I can't stay in game for more than 5-10 minutes without crashing. I run WoW and Rift flawlessly. I produce professional audio on the same system, which is just as taxing on the hardware as gaming, if not more. It's not system specs or stability, it's something in-game.

Strangely enough, it may be character-related. I had the same problem with my previous system that my little brother now uses. He doesn't have the problem. My new system still crashes as well. The only thing that remains the same is the account I log into.

The biggest problem is that there appears to be no error log. There's no way for us to know what's going on, and worse yet, no way for us to relay that information back to Square. They really need to add some kind of error log so we can get this problem worked out.
