Constantly crashing

[bebop_bo]

I recommend you to wait until SE do something... they'll surely do.

se fix something!? lol :-/ this issue has been going on since beta along with the disconnects, do ya self a favour, pay to play another game cuz this prob aint guna be fixed it jus gets worse!

[Kennitus]

lol I know SE will not fix that (I mean give them some time, it's been only 2 months since the release, seriously)... just trying to cheer up others. For my part I'm fine, no disconnection issue just like 5% of Fate crashes.

It just occurred to me that could it be the problem with RAMS? Anyone tried to re-fix their RAMs.

This is happening to me as well. It used to be a run time error now it is just simply a FFXIV has encountered an error and needs to close....

I recently switched to full screen which I enjoy a hell of a lot more and the crashing has increased tenfold.... So ill try switching back to windowed...Sigh....

I HOPE SE is even reading this thread... or the previous Runtime error thread that is essentially the same problem....

This is from a thread i just started;

For those experiencing frequent Windows "This program has stopped working"

I was battling many force close and "This Program Has Stopped Wrking" messages after the last big update. I had changed video card drivers and in-game settings and tried everything i could think of. As a last ditch effort, I disabled my CPU Overclock (seen in my sig below) and just let the chip do its thing at stock.

Since then, no crashes at all. No crowded fate crashes, no town crashes nothing, no hard freezes, no nothing.

I do not experience these issues with other programs on my system when it is overclocked (auto-adjusted with the MB, i don't touch anything else, sits at 4.2, not a crazy OC for an i5-3570k.)

So, if you haven't tried it, give it a shot and report back. Perhaps if we can identify that the game doesn't like overclocked CPUs, it may help the devs with a cause of the issue

I run on a lower end pc, but after changing to low settings, I rarely if ever have lag. I have never had issues with any game. I was sitting at Revenant's Toll for 15mins in queue and bam program stops working. At least it never happened in an instance.. yet. It doesn't happen all the time at least.

This is insane really. It makes you not even want to play the game. I have a nvidia 660 and it happens everything I try to do fates.

Never experienced crashes like this before, but I moved my dinosaur of a PC up one generation in video card this weekend, and had to notch the FSB back a bit to make it stable again. May be something with more abuse to the RAM or maybe it's more power draw off the motherboard (went from 4870 512MB to 5870 1GB, should be the same power profile, but who knows).

If you are overclocking anything, may be worth notching it back just to see if it behaves better.

This started happening to me just yesterday. It usually happens when I'm leaving a zone / loading a new zone. It's not very often, but still annoying. The only thing I can think of is that I recently updated my graphics drivers. It'd be amazing if UPDATING your graphics drivers messed it up. I doubt we'll get a response here though. =/

Try updating your computer graphic card and the necessary, works perfectly now. It's not about SE its about your computer performance, so, it'll be sad to quit such a nice game when your computer have the good capacity.
