FFXIV: A Realm Reborn has stopped working.

EXACTLY! Me either. Its really, really frustrating.

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.

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?

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

;( I tried that as well.

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.

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...

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

None of the other things that you tried helped it at all? You're pretty much locked out of that character? Also, question. :O Did you happen to log out in your inn room?

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.
