-Platform - PC
-Error messages received - None really. Just a box that say FFXIV has encountered an error and needs to close. It does have (17.) after it as well.
-Wired or WIFI connection - WIFI
-Other programs being used when running FFXIV - Steam
-When disconnect occurs/How often - Every 10 to 15 minutes on average. Did manage around 30 minutes last night.
-Everything you have tried to resolve the issue - Stopped all apps from loading on start up, play in windowed mode, graphics dropped to minimum, tired changing to DX9 (crashes immediately on this), play from a fresh load of windows (e.g. restart my pc then play it).

One thing I did notice is that in a post somewhere on here someone said the game needs Internet Explorer to run however Windows 10 upgraded mine to Edge so I don't have IE installed. I doubt this effects it but just wanted to mention it.
What graphics hardware do you run?

To allay the fears - I am on the newest version of Windows (chromium edge) and it has caused no issues.
If it crashes while in-game; there's likely to be a driver fault; but we can ascertain that after you mention which graphics card you have.
Has this always affected you or have you only started playing recently?

Thanks!
