Issue with DirectX 11 since Endwalker update.

[Puss_Kat]

Get rid of the killer software and use the launchers restore feature to correct the corrupt files you're probably suffering from
Update your Realtek audio driver, you're on an ancient 2017 release and update to Game Ready driver 511.23

Thank you so much for your time and your kindness
I think everything is fine now ^^
take care

My game crashes when I try to launch with DirectX 11 enabled. I get this message:https://ibb.co/yd32jVW

I have tried all of the steps in this article https://gamertweak.com/ff14-directx-11-crash-fix/, and also tried CC Cleaner. After using CC cleaner the first time, I was able to play with DirectX 11 enabled for a couple of days, and then the error started again. Please help!

I can switch to DirectX 9 and the game will start up, but the screen freezes frequently, and then shortly I crash again. Here is the system info from the launcher.

My game crashes when I try to launch with DirectX 11 enabled. I get this message:https://ibb.co/yd32jVW

I have tried all of the steps in this article https://gamertweak.com/ff14-directx-11-crash-fix/, and also tried CC Cleaner. After using CC cleaner the first time, I was able to play with DirectX 11 enabled for a couple of days, and then the error started again. Please help!

I can switch to DirectX 9 and the game will start up, but the screen freezes frequently, and then shortly I crash again. Here is the system info from the launcher.

The crash with japanese text is caused by missing DirectX runtime.

Download > run(unpack to folder) > Run dxsetup.exe from that folder

This issue can occur with a Windows 7 / 8 > 10 update, as well as after having run the Reset my Pc feature of windows 10.

your gpu is underspec for playing FFXIV with in any case, the minimum requirement calls for a gpu with 2GB vram - Shared memory does not count.
