So, looking at the technical support threads I can tell that this is an issue that several people have been getting. Within minutes of playing XIV, DirectX will crash and possibly freeze my entire computer at the same time. This happens with both 9.0 version and 11, and the error message I managed to get (only a few times an actual error message would show) was 11000002

I've tried the solution posted here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...11-Issue/page3 but that didn't work, and I ended up playing only a few seconds of the game with the colors in bright yellows and purples...

So... any idea what I can do?
