(AMD r9 380)

Hello guys,
I've spent almost hours on end since the release of SB trying to fix this god damn DirectX error, and i think i might have done it.

A lot of forums suggest turning off power settings etc, which im sure everyone has done to no avail.

So today, i decided to search for a FFXIV specific driver, and turns out there was a fix from AMD back during HW.

Try to uninstall your current driver using DDU, and then search for driver 16.3.2.
You can find this on GURU's website.

Once that is installed, you will notice in the Global Settings, there is a power efficiency setting thats automatically turned on.
(I mentioned the power efficiency setting because for me, the majority of the time my screen goes blank but the sounds and game is still running, but the GPU decides it needs to restart)
Turn that off, Restart your computer and there you have.
At least, this fixed it for me.
Playing on DX11 now so smoothly and so far, without any crashes.


Please let me know if this fixes anyones issues!
