My "FF XIV has crashed again" jpurnal.

I feel your pain man. How many people have told you its your drivers or your computer is overheating? XD
I'm tempting to run my computer inside my god damn fridge to prove a point.

Yeah dude, biggest one people tell me is either drivers or that it's just AMD cards. I've tried to also reinstall my entire OS, tried multiple drivers, I have liquid cooling so no overheating for sure. It's just this game, it needs major optimizing.

My current setup:

980x Extreme CPU (Overclocked to 4.0 GHZ)
24 gb DDR 3 ram
Radeon 7990 AND 7970 in tri crossfire with liquid cooling
Window 7 Ultimate 64bit

The most annoying thing about all of this, is during phase 3 I had absolutely no problems, during phase 4 just a few, and on release it's constant. And I don't know how your FPS is in game vs benchmark, but the benchmark told me I'd be getting 70+ FPS easy. I get about 25-35 average. :/ So yeah... they REALLY need to optimize and fix this stuff, and then I'll be super happy. Well me, and thousands of other people.

While my machine isn't what yours its it is still well beyond the minimum requirements to run the game. Like you I ran (with graphics on full) the game brilliant during beta 4 but then as soon as it went live had these issues. I can't help you with your frame rates however, mine are actually fine lol but if you look on the forums there are a lot of people experiencing those concerns as well so you're far from the only one with that issue.

Yeah, the fact that I'm not the only one with these issues is kind of a relieve, but it's still not good. lol I think it has something to do with congestion, since earlier in phase 3/4 there were much less people, though with worse specs people run the game fine. So who knows.

You're definitely not alone... I'm in the exact same boat as you. I've tried countless "remedies" but nothing has worked. Overclocking, stress testing, cooling, drivers, blah blah blah. I'm still getting these damn crashes.

Sorry to hear that mate. Hopefully the issue will be resolved for both of us sooner rather than later.

Today when I logged on I was able to play for just over 2 hours so far without a crash. So I thought this would be a good chance to show you the temps running that the game has when running on my system.

Things haven't been too bad at all for some reason today. Yes I've only been fishing but in about 4 hours of play there has only been one crash.

I don't know what's different about today but it was nice.

I'm still getting crashes every 20 minutes without fail. I played a couple of hours this way, just re logging after being disconnected. Got too aggravating though. Especially when I was trying to queue for a dungeon as a DPS. Due to amount of players that have this problem, and the difference in routers, I doubt this problem is on our end. Like everyone else, this problem appeared after the maintenance.

Oh no I've had this problem since the live release. A lot of people have experienced this at different points, some in beta, some in live and some like you after maintenance, but still nothing has been done as far as I can tell apart from a lot of "technical home-made geniuses" saying "have you updated your drivers?"

[wildgamequesadilla]

I can't get in now either, it keeps crashing at loading character. I've never had these issues before. So ONCE AGAIN the game is crippled...I want my damn money back!
