Hunts are causing client crashes.

I might have find a temporary solution. Check Cashe LOD data only when necessary.

Seems to be an isolated issue. The majority never crash. Now random 90ks is a different story

Not isolated, check http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...formance-Issue

Seems to be something with AMD GPUs.

I'll try this, thanks.

Here's a better idea.

Upgrade your toaster.

My computer is probably on the top high end, but my client has crashed at two S rank hunts. Not sure exactly what causes it because I have done at least twenty S ranks. Although it could be because I also browse the web, IM on Skype and watch TV shows on my computer at the same time as playing the game? The combination of things could be causing it... dunno.

This happens to me quite a bit. Framerate crawls to a halt followed by the game crashing. It's pretty annoying.

Anything that meets the (fairly middling at best) advertised recommended requirements to operate the client should operate the client with minimal flaws. Anything that causes the client to behave otherwise, especially in the vein of causing crashes, is a program design error and should be rectified.

But you're right, people should just spend money they don't have on luxuries so gamesoft companies don't have to create working products.

it is a working product, they said from the start it supports high end pc's if you run a minimal setting of a video card expect to get low results. I found out the hard way when running a GT 520 crashed a lot, then I upgraded my power supply and graphics card and have no problems now.

You have money to spend on a subscription every month, so you saying you cant shell out 50 dollars for a power supply or about 80-100 bucks for a gtx card?

MOBO is cheap as dirt and ram cost low also from newegg, so no excuse.

The only thing that would be pricey would be the i3-i5-i7 processor though I am sure i3 wouldn't cost that much.

Also it ain't just for this game, because in a few years games are taking a leap and you will need high end pc to play them, so its not just for this game.

Same problem here. I built my PC back in Feb and had my 1st client crash 4 days ago doing hunts. It has happened 3 times since and happens when I teleport.

The computer itself has extremely minimal bearing on whether or not the server kicks you. That's either connectivity or server-side issues. I've had no true connection issues with my internet and I've upgraded my Router. The next step is to upgrade internet and that currently is not possible because my current ISP's next upgrade doesn't provide for my area yet (ATT Uverse) and we all know XFinity is like stepping on a thumbtack. Plugging into the router has no major difference in these scenarios. The code for handling these things seems really, really incapable and has been that way since release.

We aren't receiving server errors like 90k, 1015, 2002, 5006 etc.. It is not a server or ISP issue. The app is crashing and it is most likely an AMD driver issue.

Hmm, I thought you were talking about server errors. I get those more than the game crash, but I do appreciate the link.

In any case, simply having a new box isn't going to typically fix it for most users. My computer runs the game very well and only has FPS issues when heated for a while (when I forget to turn on extra fan) or when everyone and their chocobos are on my screen with more particles than a fireworks parade at Disney World.
