"FFXIV Has Stopped Working"

[Laraul]

Do you use MotionJoy? I was having this issue. Then I discovered that if launched the "DS3tool" application at anytime before the I launched the game, it wouldn't launch, either simply closing the Window upon start-up, or giving me a "FFXIV Stopped Working" message. After the game has launched, I was able to launch MotionJoy and enable my Dualshock 3 to work as a Playstation 2 controller. This means that I must restart the computer every time I want to launch the game a second time though.

I'm not really 100% sure if it's MotionJoy, but it's definitely an application or service that must be started before the game is launched that's causing the problem. And the problem did not exist before the 2.3 patch. I did *nothing* with the computer (no restarting, no logging out, not even putting the computer to sleep) between the time I used the game before the patch, and after I installed the patch.
