Using GTX 960 and I have experienced two crashes so far. The game would just suddenly freeze and only a hard reset will work.
I'm using Windows 10 and a beta driver so that might have been the cause.

I have an EVGA Nvidia 960 and when running DirectX 11 and closing the game, it never closes properly, stays in a black screen and I have to go to the task manager to force close the game. I get the "The program stopped working" notice.
Drivers are all updated, and I have no problems while I play, but I've been only able to close the game properly once. I'm on Windows 7 btw.
I wonder if it's really an Nvidia graphic cards thing, or something with the client itself.
That is strange because I have the exact same card and never had a crash to desktop when I play in DX11. I'm on Windows 8.1 but I don't think that should be a big influence.I have an EVGA Nvidia 960 and when running DirectX 11 and closing the game, it never closes properly, stays in a black screen and I have to go to the task manager to force close the game.

It's not just nvidia, amd users are having the same problem and yet when I brought it up my card was immediately trashed by ppl because it's amd, but now I see nvidia ppl having the same problem those trashing can now eat their words and suck it.I have an EVGA Nvidia 960 and when running DirectX 11 and closing the game, it never closes properly, stays in a black screen and I have to go to the task manager to force close the game.

So... I want to add a suggestion here, only because I somehow managed to make the game crash at launch while I was trying to resolve a different issue.
Try updating the Visual Studio 2010 C++ runtime.

At some point during my attempts to install a SDK that required uninstalling the C++ runtime so the SDK could install an older version, I tried running FFXIV and it would crash at launch. So I went back through the Microsoft website to find the most recent 2010 runtime, and that fixed it.
But that doesn't mean this will fix it for everyone, just those who have software on their system that was insistent on installing the old version.
Just to add, same here on both desktop ( 2x - GTX 760 FTW) and my laptop (GTX 980m). Since using DX11, I'll crash randomly and/or while in dungeons.......
I haven't had any crashes mid-game yet. That thing where the game "has stopped working" when I quit though, it's been doing that to me since well before the DX11 client hit.

I've only crashed a couple times when taking random screenshots.
It's not just Nvidia, i have an AMD 290x and just when i exit the game it goes to a black screen, but only in this time, not when i'm playing.
I just switched back to DX9 because I always get that black screen when exiting DX11 client. The updated graphics ain't worth that bs.
