Sick of client crashes forcing me to re-queue

[RenAshdoll]

Same issue here. I was supposed to join a group for Susano/Lakshmi training but upon opening discord, fatal directx error. The problem can be triggered randomly when using Microsoft Edge, Chrome or VLC Media Player. The problems started to occur near the end of Heavensward, and I already did a clean install of Windows 10, which only reduced the number of crashes.

I was sent to the back of the queue with a crash again today, this time triggered just by turning off my headphones and nothing else. Something every other game I've played can seamlessly handle. If I'm careful not to touch anything on my PC while the game is running, it generally runs fine - but that kind of defeats the point of borderless window mode. I shouldn't have to be worried about getting stuck in another multi-hour queue because I want to switch my sound or view a link someone sent me.

This is such a poor user experience... I can't believe they would allow server queues like this without some kind of grace period.

You may want to actually seek help on the appropriate technical support forums.

That's not a common occurrence at all, that it's been happening to you a lot either means you need to repair your game or that maybe your graphics card is giving out. Does it happen with any other games? It's really weird that something like plugging out your headphones would crash it for you.

Pretty much everybody in my raid group is saying that they need to re-boot game if they wish the change sound (e.g. speakers <-> headset), otherwise it'll crash at the moment you plug it in/out.

MMOs really need to be able to allow people to use browsers and voice chat programs while playing and this one seems to crash regularly when trying to run anything else. So frustrating, and the queues make it far worse... >.<
