Unable to detect directX and FFXIV close itself.

[Alise]

I checked on by one, and now I know that the problem is from Nvidia-GPU.

either :
1. the battery charger that come with the laptop doesn't provide enough power to it? (or not stable and cause directx stop)
2. The graphic card is too heat? (but unlikely, because even in standard setting that I can run by intel chip alone, it still has directX problem)
3. 540M not support this game yet! And may need more driver update later. But if this is the case, other laptop with 540M should have the same problem with me. (Please help me if anybody also use laptop with 540M)
4. My graphic card has some problem physically. may be it is bad product from factory and I should claim it. (I will try to claim it by this reason if I m sure that it is not 3 reasons above.)


because my laptop spec is so high that I could run FF14 in normal resolution with core-i7 alone. (Turn off nvidia to save energy mode) Now I notice no directX problem at all after I change to use CPU only. Now, if anybody would be so kind to help me think which of the choices above was the cause of problem from the Nividia card ? because I prefer use the 540M and have little higher setting in FF14.

I have the same problem with 2 ASUS laptop with optimus technology and using the Nvidia 540M

Setting the game to use the Nvidia Card only helps out a little bit but still the game crashes rather frequently. I notice that updating to the latest nvidia drivers has helped a lot, however the crashes continue.

As many of you I initially thought this issue was related to the optimus technology, however installing the game on my desktop with 8gigs of RAM and a Nvidia GTX 480 1.5gb Ram Overclocked, the problem occurs, although less frequently the game still crashes in window mode even without switching to other windows. In fullscreen all you have to do is alt+tab and is instacrash.

Another machine with lower specs running an ATI 4870 card with 512mb of memory, does not crash at all.

Which makes me believe this is only occuring with Nvidia Cards, anyone having the DirectX problem or similar with ATI cards?

I just purchased and installed a new ATI 6970 graphics card and getting the same error. I have loaded the latest drivers.
Catalyst Version is 11.3

I am using ASUS ATI 4870 1G ram on my desktop. It can run with standard mode with no problem. Only occasionally when it is too hot, I need to open up some fan...

I'm also having problem with this new Nvidia 550M on this game. Previously, I'm using a crappy HP dv6 i3-2310m laptop to play ff14 with no crash (detail = 3 background =1). But now with this i5-2410m Gt-550M laptop, I occasionally can play hours with no error. I already turn everything to Nvidia card only, but still...
I'm thinking since my crappy old i3-2410m can run my i5 should run better...
