"FFXIV Has Stopped Working"

[Mousezilla]

Got a response to my ticket that was a list of "fixes" that basically amounted to "blow into the cartridge and hope that fixes it."

I think that means they don't know what's broken, either.

I finally got around to removing and re-installing the game and made it a full 15-20 minutes standing around in crowded Limsa Nominsa before it crashed... Got my hopes up for a bit and then - crash.
I hope Square Enix figures out what the problem is, but based on our help desk experiences it seems unlikely that they will even admit something is wrong with their code.
Windows tells me that there is an unhandled exception and memory is being written to invalid locations (when I click on debug after the error). As a programmer, I know that exceptions are not usually that hard to catch.

the exception is an OOM event, caused by the display driver failing to release allocated texture memory during scene traversal.

Reinstalled windows 8.1 after the new Nividia drivers came out and still crashing in FFXIV...

Such a shame. I'm pretty much ready to just put FF on the shelf. As of now the game is unplayable.

having the same issue and like most, i am having a hard time coming up with a reason to play until it's fixed. i think SE doesnt even know what's going on and like usual, they say it's your computers fault. i dont have this issue with any other game on max, and this game i have dialed back. getting real sick of your bugs SE

Apparently playing the game in Standard Desktop settings now fixes the problem after the reinstall. However, switching to Max settings or high still crashes me. I am on the GTX 770 with the most updated drivers. Anyone know why this is?

EDIT: Actually it still crashes, just less frequently this way..

back again, after a month of smooth play since my last post on here. It has gone back to crashing on play start up. what a joke. I played FF14 fine the night before yet nothing has changed settings wise. crashes on startup yet i did get this error after a couple of tries. any ideas?

[Vhex]

Oh, I know this one! That error generally means your HDD has corrupt files, could be from malware or something else. Maybe try wiping some stuff, or a system repair??

Hopefully someone can answer mine too :L

Im having the same problem. Seems to be working better if i set the graphics to laptop and the lowest... But still crashes sometimes just less frequently .

I have 2x SLI GTX 670 so i should be able to run max setting without any problems. But every time i run the game. It crashes to desktop within 3min of logging in.

Its been like this for a week now and i fear i wont resubb since i cant really play the game .

I deleted all my game data and turned my graphics down as far as they'd go, and that let me log into my last toon long enough to get him out of the zone that's been giving me all that trouble. It still crashed on me a couple times in the process, but I got him out. Now all I have to do is stay out of Ul'dah/Central Thanalan and I'm good.

Of course, now I'm kind of screwed when it comes to gathering certain crafting mats and leveling certain jobs, getting around without huge detours, or advancing in the main story quests, but baby steps, I guess.
