I use a Macbook Pro retina with bootcamp, Windows 8 64bit and I've been having the "FFXIV has stopped working" error for some time now. The game would crash every time I pressed the green Play button on the launcher.

After a lot of fiddling around, I realized that FFXIV was not working whenever I had my laptop connected to my Thunderbolt Display. The game works fine on the Macbook Pro by itself, but for some reason just stops working all together anytime the display is connected. I'm really scratching my head on this one. Has anyone had this issue before? Any solutions?
