The huge DX11 crashing thread got moved to resolved issues?

[aionaddict]

I have 2 970s in SLI and haven't had as single crash on the Dx 11 client. I only installed the game a few weeks ago so I wonder if there is a problem with the game files on older installs that have been patched many times.

Can you check what driver version you are using, aionaddict?


Because that's potentailly helpful information.

I am using 353.38.

So why you even writed here? Should we be proud of you or what? DX11 is broken for around 20-30% of players in ff14.

Excuse me for not reading through every single post in this thread to see if anyone mentioned installing the game from scratch. Considering it is a pretty large download I would think most people would like to try avoiding that.

I did an entire fresh install if Win7 Ult 64bit with a fresh download of ffxiv14 arr and still get the same issue of the game completely hard crashing my comp. Funny thing is I can go for days or even a week without it happening playing most the day and then it starts and can happen 5 times in one day. Temps all check out, all hardware checked out, was using old drivers that came wiith my Gefore 970OC and at first thought that fixed it but then wham it started happening so older drivers or newer still no real fix. Can happen on DX9 or DX11 but seems more common on DX11 but is hard to say.

Okay so it seems it's fixed on my end. I updated to win 10 and the crashes have completely disappeared for me. I did notice one thing though, when I installed chrome every time I warped the game locked up for a min like it did before. it would freeze for a second in the loading screen then continue to load, but never actually freeze.
I tested it multiple times with that same result. I uninstalled chrome and everything is smooth again. so maybe it might have something to do with chrome?. just thought I would share that with you all.

P.S. sorry for long post.

Yeah I'm sure it has been discussed somewhere here before but Chrome has been causing random crashes on Nvidia cards for a few months now. The last couple sets of drivers were meant to have fixed it but in the geforce forums it seems to depend on your exact combination of hardware. This applies to all games not just FF.
