DX11 Crashing?

[DarkSeifer]

Nvidia have a new driver out

353.49

been using it myself, seems pretty good, only crashed once today in about 6hrs, so maybe you nvidia users could give a shot see if it clears things up for you

Updating now. I'll try it out tomorrow when I play. Thanks for the tip!

Make sure that you turn off GeForce Experience and Raptr, MSI Afterburner, and anything based on rivatuner before running FFXIV and see if that resolves crashing.

Also update the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Runtime https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/down....aspx?id=21576

If DX11 still crashes, and you are running "overclocked" video cards, including factor-overclocked cards, then your video cards are "defective"

I use "quotes", because they might work in other games. The other possibility is that your CPU or RAM isn't stable and it's the nVidia driver that is triggering it.

There's other possibilities, but they often suggest malware.

Still having the same issue with the latest hotfix drivers.

For what it's worth, my situation is I think a little different from others here: my game doesn't crash per se, but will occasionally randomly minimize itself (it's happened a lot on the final boss of Continuum), and can't be restored. The game continues running, but it's as though the window is invisible. As I mentioned in earlier posts, I can sometimes recreate the problem by just alt+tabbing until I can't get the window back..but other times cannot.

I believe I saw other people on the /r/ffxiv thread talking about this same issue..but from what I'm seeing here most people are totally crashing, or BSODing. Wonder if these are separate issues, or what...

Installed the update. I still get some hiccups in between zones when loading but I haven't had a total lock up yet. I'll post more updates as I go along.
