Fatal DirectX Error 11000002

[Xerek]

Whelp, 359.00 crashed twice in under 24 hours. Once in Wanderer's Palace (Hard) at first boss. The next in Private Chambers after a half hour or so of RP. Time to test 358.91.

361.43: *DirectX Error*
359.06: *DirectX Error*
359.00: *DirectX Error*
358.91: ???
358.87: ???
358.50: ???
355.98: Works!

About the DirectX Error issue, I encountered it too, but it happened only when I had Occlusion Culling enabled.

I wish this were the fix for me, but unfortunately I run with Occlusion Culling disabled and just had my game crash. I had gone without any fatal errors for a few weeks, too lol.

Still no update on this? Honestly, I haven't touched the game in almost 2 weeks because the crashes are so frequent for me, even when downgrading to different drivers.. Till today.

The crazy thing? I just built a new computer. Completely brand new components. Only installed FFXIV and nothing else. Two hours in? Crash. Nvidia driver 355.98

So I'm very, very, very, very upset.

I may have a workaround. After doing a *lot* of web scouring I have found something that has worked for me so far. I am still using the 359.00 drivers, which crashed twice in 24 hours before.

I've read that overlays might cause this issue. Three specifically mentioned were Fraps, MSI Afterburner and the NVidia Experience. I don't run Fraps while I'm playing most of the time, but I did have the other two apps. I uninstalled MSI Afterburner and Nvidia Experience. I've now gone a few days (and a lot of dungeons) and have yet to crash. Note that I do have Steam installed, so it doesn't look like the Steam overlay is an issue. I'll continue to test. If this works I'll install the latest driver, remove NVidia Experience, and give that a try.

Hope this helps.

Well, just started playing FFXIV and this error really makes it hard to enjoy it at the moment. Latest drivers installed, latest Windows 10 updates installed, game still crashes randomly (sometimes it runs fine for hours, sometimes it crashes within minutes).

To be clear, I don't have Fraps, MSI Afterburner or NVidea Experience installed, it still crashes. Disabling Steam Overlay doesn't work either. I really hurts the experience for me, hopefully this will be fixed as soon as possible.

EDIT:
Some more information:

My System: OS:Windows 10 64-Bit, GPU:EVGA GeForce GTX 570 Superclocked, RAM: 12GB, CPU: i7 920

Using the DirectX 11 Client of the game.

If I run the game in Borderless Windowed mode and this error occurs, my whole system freezes and I need to reset my PC.

I don't have any problems with running other games.

Are you sure you don't have the NVidia Experience installed? It's installed by default with the driver. From what I found it's not enough to disable it, it has to be uninstalled completely through the Control Panel.

Yep, I always select "Custom" and only install the Display Driver and PhysX components. Also, it seems to be crashing more frequently after or while changing the graphics options. I'm 99% sure something is wrong with the XIV client. Other games run hours on end without any problems, I checked and updated several things on my PC and most people seem to only have this issue with the latest patch of the game. When I played the free trail a few months back I had no problems with running the game at all.

EDIT: Just had to restart Windows because the game kept crashing while loading the main menu, it's so random :S.

I also have no MSI afterburner and NVidia experience. still crashing. Literally the only thing that's installed is FFXIV, teamspeak and OBS. TeamSpeak has yet to be used and OBS is used only when streaming for Xbox/WiiU. This is on a completely brand new built computer, only a week old.

as a test, I downloaded unigine valley and it ran fine.

I still believe there is something wrong with the game itself, and I think SE not commenting on this very long thread [at least compared to others found here] is either proving that there is something wrong and they don't know how to fix it, or them not acknowledging there's something wrong.
