I've had this issue since 2.0 launch running on a 660 TI. I've updated to every new GeForce driver as they release, but it has never resolved.

It goes something like this: at some point during play, the game screen will seize up--everything will freeze--and the BGM will warp and garble as the screen goes completely black. After 5 seconds, the BGM returns to normal and the screen displays normally if nothing happened. A system tray notification pops up to inform me about recovery from driver failure.

Worst of all, the issue is impossible to reproduce. Sometimes it happens multiple times a day, sometimes it doesn't happen once for days. There are no criteria I have found to incite this driver crash. Doesn't matter how many characters are on the screen, doesn't matter which zone I'm in or what time I'm in it. I could have 10 applications open in the background, or XIV only after a fresh restart. I can never pin it down.

The game is definitely to blame, though. I have hundreds of hours in dozens of other games and I've never, ever had a driver crash - usually, if anything crashes, it's the application.
