Game Freezes when logging/teleporting using DX11

Thanks for the response! I searched the FFXIV folder and found the .exe's you were talking about and both were not running as administrator so I turned it on, no changes. Energy is set to "High Performance" and I checked that the network driver doesn't turn off too but still nothing.

I have the game installed through steam, could it be the reason for this to happen? Now I mostly avoid logging through steam since I read overlay programs could cause problems with the game so I use ffxivboot.exe (running as admin too) but that didn't change anything either in the last few months. I'm at a total loss since it's the only game I've had problems with.

Khuja, I know my post isn't massively helpful but just wanted to say thank you.

I've been going crazy due to this recently. I've been playing for 6 months perfectly fine and then suddenly 3 weeks ago the same stuff started happening with me with exactly the same experiences.

I have reinstalled the game 3 times, checked for ram problems and checked for memory leaks and nothing helped.

I've been really worried it's my computer but switched off direct x 11 and it's working fine now.

Honestly not sure why this is happening suddenly but it's exactly the same problem.

It gets stuck in loading or zoning. It loads to a point and then suddenly stops and if I just leave it alone occasionally it will load or occasionally it will time out. Any guidance anyone could give on fixing this would be so appreciated.

Hey Atieno! Good thing I'm not alone in this but yeah that's exactly the same issue I've been having and is really annoying. BTW since Dracian post I've tried some settings and the last one was balance energy plan and it got a little better, I have to test it a little further since it usually gets worse when the place I'm porting to is crowded (usually Idyllshire or Foundation and even Limsa) and I tried this in the early morning, will let you know if that fixed it!
