    Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

    Have any changes happened to the device before the issue began? We would also like to recommend several other troubleshooting steps:

    1) Make sure that your hardware is not overheating and remove any overclocks you may have on your graphics card or processor. Please check that any fans or vents are clear of blocks.
    2) Disable any additional programs that could cause interference with the game itself including chat programs. Also, remove any custom configurations made using graphics driver-level programs
    3) Remove any mods or injectors from the game or system
    4) Turn off Fullscreen Optimizations. Find the executable file for the game (normally found in the install folder), right-click it and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box labeled 'Disable Fullscreen Optimizations', then click 'Apply'.
    5) Remove any unnecessary USB or audio devices (controllers, headphones, flash drives etc.)
    6) Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card
    7) Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything

    Disabling fullscreen optimization did not prevent the same error.

    Please, I know that you have a manual with company approved cookie cutter copy pasta, but could you mods at least have the courtesy to let us paying customers know that by this point with the hundreds of reports the devs are aware that no, this is not a user side issue and that yes, it's being looked into?

    The fact that threads on the DX issue are deliberately ignored after the first reply only helps in making us paying customers to take the decision to take our money elsewhere easier.
