Constantly crashing

[TanisHalfelven]

..throwing my hat into the 90k then 2002 error fun.. would be nice if SE actually fixed something instead of throwing a god damn band-aid on stuff and actually use some money and fix this issue. Stop being so damn cheap with the one component that you cant afford to be cheap on.

90k/2002 isn't an issue with your hardware or the end point server hardware, but with the networking side. You're dropping packets somewhere. Enough to force a disconnect (90k is in game and 2002 is the lobby). It's not Square that is the catalyst for the issue, but either your ISP, or the backbone you're traveling down to reach the Montreal data center.

To narrow down the problem, you will need to trace route your path to the server (links below) and post them here to be looked at. You won't be able to do much about it, but at least it will show that the issue isn't with you or Square:

this is really starting to suck i pay for a game i wanna play that was working fine and i still get the 2002 error even after trying to find everything that s wrong with my computer. why is this not working.

[MaikoRain]

This is what im getting constantly.
Especially when i receive my fates reward.
One thing i have noticed is, if you tab out for a couple of minutes the game starts lagging bad.
Your skill animations wont show but your damage will. If you click on your character profile it takes ages to come up. Then when playing for a few more minutes it will crash and give you the bottom error.

I run
Intel Core2Duo 3.0Ghz
4G Ram
ATI Radeon HD5770

Game runs smooth on medium settings but still crashes.
I really hope SE takes a look into this issue

[Ubermann]

Yeah, this is really inexcusable.

The issue still hasn't even been acknowledged. wtf

[Tarethen]

So... Yeah. I had four crashes today within the span of a couple of hours...

I've been getting game stopped working errors for four months now on a daily basis. And all these months all people do is say they have the same problem, and cry about how many crashes they have had. I've tried about 120 solutions that me and others have tested to troubleshoot with no answers. Obviously a driver module, nvd3dum.dll, is faulting, but no one knows how to fix it....

[Velev]

Yep, same here, game crashed in the middle/end of a fate.
Screen freezes and i get,
FFXIV has encountered an error and must close...

Had to reboot to get it working again but now has some lag, where as before this problem the connection was smooth.

[Gerael]

I have this error too, it mostly happens when a fate starts or when it finishes. 1 of 6 fates usually crashes my game.

This isn't a FFXIV error. It's a Windows dll error. Windows is having a hard time loading and rendering everything that's going on due to a corrupted .dll or core file and instead of locking up your system, it crashes.

There is/are corrupted files(s) on your machine. You may need to scan your system and replace the files as needed. The file(s) may be directly associated with FFXIV.exe, but your specific issue isn't with Square, it's with your OS. Try some of these KB's below:
