Thread: Game constantly crashing after patch 2.1

The crash happens in 3 different ways:
1. Game just freezes, and it makes windows freeze along with it, requiring a reboot
2. BSOD
3. The game just crashes into windows, and i do not need to reboot.

I have the latest drivers installed for all my computer parts
I have tried rebooting the PC
I have checked the temperatures, and this is no overheating problem
I ran the RAM(16GB) test in Windows 8.1, and it found no issues
I tried lowering the graphics settings, even though i have been running on max without issue. It did not help.

Windows 8.1 Enterprise
Asus Geforce 670
Gigabyte Sniper M5 motherboard
16GB RAM

For myself, the issue is very much alike!

I got pretty much the same specs, guess Geforce Card made by MSI though, same RAM, Windows 8.1 ...
Dunno if it is a compatibility- or stability-issue related to Windows 8.1, or if it's about the game, or about the Drivers NVidia offers at the Moment.

One Thing though is for sure: it is a Problem that for me only, and really only Encounters with Final Fantasy. I never ever got any Crash before, and not in all those different manners. So it is relatively complicated, and i really do not know how to fix it.

Please SE, help us!

This issue may be a DirectX related issue, as the faulting modules i see when the game crashes are the following:


Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game\ffxiv.exe

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\XAudio2_7.dll

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\d3d9.dll
