unexpected error has ocurred. Dx11?

Above is a screenshot of my GPU stats and as you can see, they're all fine. Nothing to report, really.

Yes, my GPU is @ 98%. I am currently working on several projects at the moment. However, regardless if the game is the only application running or not I still get this error. I see no more frequently with or without other apps running simultaneously.

I would like to assume my hardware is MORE than capable of running this game. As you stated in your previous post. There is no log to default to. No errors with windows and still no comments by a GM or SE. Seriously, what will it take to get a response on this issue????

Jinwa, when you reinstalled Windows, did you make sure to delete all partitions and wipe them clean? Also, did you reinstall any other programs before FFXIV?

And GMs can't do much on this problem, it's Square Enix's Support that should do something. Yet they're kind of avoiding the issue, most likely because they got no idea on how to fix this.

If you see no conflicts between FFXIV and other applications, then it's most likely a flaw in one of the patches of the game. Just to be safe though, you could uninstall some undesired programs, run your antivirus program for a complete wipe of the virus, and then try again.

I've figured out what was causing it for me: "Incorrect" timings set for my RAMs.
Even tho I used the XMP profile for them... Really strange! I even set the same numbers manually and now everything is fine.

Been getting something similar for the last few days now. Only happens when I log out of the game though.

Patched FFXIV today and get the following everytime I try to start - after logging in - the game. I also got the Windows Creators Update since I last played FFXIV. Any solutions?

.... The new patch brought the problem back for me. Friggin hell.

I'm also having this problem.

I'm not running any overlays and I've disabled pretty much everything.

I'm running Windows 10 with a GTX970, dual monitor display.

Crashes HARD with borderless window, seems to behave itself more often with fullscreen or at least tends to soft crash to desktop. However, when I interact with the inactive monitor and then re-interact with FFXIV, the screen flashes black and I see my GPU hit 0% usage before spiking back up.

Something really weird is going on with the FFXIV client, DirectX 11, NVidia and multi-monitor displays. I really wish Square-Enix would address this issue before Stormblood.

I'm also having issues. I've never had problems before and today I've crashed at least eight times.

I'm running Windows 10 with a GTX1080, dual monitor.

I've tried running both DX9 and DX11 modes and it still crashes. I had the latest video drivers installed and rolled them back and am still getting crashes.

Like the above poster, my screen will occasionally go black and then recover. A short time later it crashes.

An interesting point that someone brought on another thread. Does everyone here use a multi-monitor setup? This might be the source of the issue, I need to test on my end.

this is my problem! I posted Here


I play in borderless Window, and sometimes when I launch the game I'll get the list of errors and crash. I've also been getting the black screen flash when I interact with a window on my 2nd monitor.
