Constant Crash-To-Desktops

[Coldfire]

Try to rename the FINAL FANTASY XIV that is located on My Documents> My Games. If it didn't work delete the new one and put the old one back on his place.

You forgot to mention that he has to run the config tool after that before starting the game :P

I followed these directions. I did have to reset all of my config info after renaming. I got back to the same spot I have been all day, after chosing my character I crash to desktop. I am close to just giving up. How do we honestly not have an official fix for this? Is it really up to the players to find their own fixes when we are paying for someone to fix them to begin with? Sorry for the QQ but it's just so frustrating trying to give this game a fighting chance when bad stuff just keeps happening left and right.

Yes, that's pretty much how things currently look like.

Tried reinstalling the game? Did you reset the video driver settings?

This could not honestly be the solution could it!!!??? NVIDIA released its new driver today and for the time being...the game is working. BUT!! SE released a patch today as well! So who gets the credit for a fix if this is truly the fix? Well that is where you come in...SOMEONE please do not install your new NVIDIA driver but do let the game do its thing. I am curious to whom to give credit for a fix. Please post your results.

This is happening again. The game was working fine over the past few days. I teleported to Gridania and it crashed right at the aether crystal. I logged in on my other system and it worked fine. I moved the character to the inn in Gridania and tried to load the game on the main system again, and it worked. I can function in my rent a room but as soon as I try to leave that rent a room and go into Gridania, I crash. I repeated this process many times.

I have run my memory test and with 12GB of memory I get a hardware error through the test but when I have 8GB seated, no error. So just to play it safe, I am just using 8GB. This has not fixed the problem however. I reseated my graphics card with no resolve. I transffered over my graphics card from the other machine, that didn't work.

IMO this has got to be a software issue. I have run AVG PC Tune-Up, CCleaner, SpeedFan, WindowsMem Diag, reinstalled the drivers on the graphics card, reseated all of my hardware. Please someone throw me a bone on what I may be missing here. I have posted another DXDiag here so that there is an updated one.
