Game constantly crashing after patch 2.1

[Bucy]

I'm getting disconnected (90000 error) whenever I do any dungeon, and it is constant & consistent. It is game breaking to have the tank disappear ever 20 seconds.

If this is not fixed within the next 10 days, I will cancel my subscription renewal. I will have to, I can't layout money for something I know is broken.

I have gone from never crashing before the patch, to crashing all the time. I can get in to the game and play, but at random intervals it will crash for no apparent reason.
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

I'm having the issue as well, random freezing of the game and windows which needs a hard reset. Tried searching a bit on this issue with DirectX but no luck...

I have the same problem. My computer completly close after 10-15 minutes of play every time. It only does that since the 2.1 patch and all other games are working properly...

I'm having the same issue with the PC version. I just patched to 2.1 today, started the quest chain for crystal tower, teleported to Alesport, was exiting the save area, then boom. Game crashed. I tried to log in afterwards, and the game kept crashing during the loading screen. I could hear the sound fx as if I was in game, but still at the loading the screen. The sound would then cut off, and come back on periodically like it was still trying, but still stuck at the loading screen. I had to completely close out of the program multiple times before finally it seems to let me in.


Update, it let me in, but as soon as I moved the camera around, it crashed. It's a bit infuriating to be honest. The game has never crashed before this patch. At this point, the game is unplayable for me.
