Thread: Windows 8.1 crashing / slowdown / memory leak

Just started playing again after a 2 weeks hiatus. Now running Windows 8.1 and I am lucky to get 30 minutes of game play before the client CTDs without any error messages. Checking out event view and FF14:ARR is generating fault codes of 0xc0000005 and 0xc000001d. I have ran hours of prime95 and memtest-86 and all is stable.

I had the same error. I fixed my issue by rolling back the last five Windows 8.1 Updates. For me they updated today and yesterday and after uninstalling them my games work. Before the rollback I couldn't play any games - FF14 or steam games, etc.

Do you know the KB# of the updates by any chance? I only have issues with FF14. All other games I have work perfectly including ones that use steam.
