DX 11 Client crashes my PC

[Tsunenori]

I've had my display driver crash twice since Early Access started, having never once had a single issue before the DX11 client came into the equation. The first time I was finishing my first Astrologian quest and the driver crashed when the cutscene ended, causing the client to error out and I had to relog.

The second time was about an hour ago as of the time of this post. I was standing at the Maelstrom HQ looking at expert delivery items and the screen went black, and my computer hard locked and shut down. It's a well ventilated and cooled PC, and I've had my card (gtx 970, same as OP and Samias) for a while with absolutely 0 problems. These issues only began yesterday with the Early Access client.

Hopefully either Square-Enix or Nvidia can sort it out.

I have a 970 and I am having this issue. My Significant other has a lower end card and does NOT have this issue.

I've experienced the same exact style of crashing with my 980ti, no other games or benchmarks or stress tests cause the issues this game, there is clearly something wrong with the DX11 Client, and in general the release.

Rikor -- Exact same card and error here. CPU and GPU temps are fine too.

AMD 6990 with Catalyst drivers 14.501 here.

DX11 random crashes before I can even get into the game. Watching the CG movie cutscenes? Crash. In a wait queue? Crash. In configuration? Crash.
No errors. No warnings. Suddenly black screen and then desktop.

Heck I'm not even getting BSODs.

This was happening before installing the expansion too. While I was having issues with connections and crashing, I bought the expansion, installed it, launched, and still had the same issues. So the expansion installation itself is not the issue. Its the newest update.

Game's been rock solid on DX9 mode for me. Tried out DX11 mode, crashed randomly twice. No black screen, game just soft crashes and boots me to the desktop. Once it went quite a while before it happened (over an hour), 2nd time it was barely 5 minutes. Radeon R9 285, omega 14.12 drivers. Definitely something wrong with DX11 stability, though it probably doesn't help that AMD hasn't had an official driver update for the R9 series in over 6 months now. Given the login headaches right now, I'll just settle for playing on DX9 mode. It's just as well, I can run on max settings on DX9 mode with constant 60FPS while I only get ~40ish on DX11 mode unless I drop down to laptop - high config.

Two 980 ti in sli and I get some really weird graphic glitches with dx11. It seems like resources just aren't loading. Characters will have solid black armor like the game isn't loading the meshes. My character was bald once. It didn't display the helmet that I had on and instead made my character bald with a deformed head. I tried taking screenshots, but it didn't save them for some reason. There were parts of the land not loading and huge black and red streaks across my screen. It is basically unplayable with dx11.

Only happens with dx11. The dx9 client works just like it did before.

Same issue on Radeon R9 285. Latest radeon drivers were released in december, so I dont know what to do. My dx11 is updated, using win 7 ultimate 64-bit.
