unexpected error has ocurred. Dx11?

Similar issue on my side as well:


Could play perfectly before this patch, now I can't even start it -_-

Are you running the game through Steam? Gameoverlayrender is specific to Steam overlay. Did you try running the game with Steam overlay disabled? XIV in DX11 doesn't like overlays like Fraps for example and simply crashes when booted.

Stuck with this issue as of new patch as well, was running game fine in DX11 before... I can't launch the game at all, unless I switch to DX9 which well..sucks.

Yeah, steam version here. I literally disabled every single piece of software that provides any form of in-game overlay. Steam overlay doesn't even work for me there anyway xD (it was still disabled though). Nothing helps and that error keeps popping up every single time.
Just to make this funnier, before this patch, I had Dxtory overlay and Razer Comms overlay always on and the game never crashed xD

Same here. Running on DX11, Windows 10, AMD RX480. Was working perfectly before. Tried with and without Steam =/ DX9 seems to work.

Fixed since update!

Had a couple of those (similar to Aneira's and LunarFate's). Actually ffxiv_dx11.exe is the name of the game program - it has nothing to do with DX11 itself. There seems to be some sloppy programming/debugging on SE's side..
Hope for a hotfix..

Getting the same/similar issue - so I'm stuck in the ending cutscene of Dun Scaith (crashes after a few moments in the scene, or if I try to skip it)

sorry for the screen of a screen!

Oh! I just switched from dx11 to dx9, then back to dx11 and it works! >.<

I'm getting the same error. Every 20 f***ing minutes. Game is almost unplayable because of this.
