This has been an off and on again issue for me as well. Started in October, cleared up for a couple of months, and has begun again as of 3.5x for me.

System:
Windows 7 64bit Full updates
AMD FX-8370 4.0 GHz 8 Core
Radeon R9-380 4gb Asus Strix Version
16gb Ram
1.8TB free on game hard drive
24GB free on Windows drive

Have tried:
Reinstalling the game
Reinstalling drivers - clean and otherwise
Rolling the drivers back
Lowering settings to Laptop - low
Running settings at Maximum

Have managed to recreate the issue in the Stormblood Benchmark as well 3 out of 4 runs this evening.

Excuse me for saying it this way, but this is getting tiresome.

I am running the following games using the same system and configurations
Elite Dangerous - Directx 11 - 0 crashes / issues
Conan Exiles - Directx 11 - 0 Crashes / Issues
Space Engineers - DirectX 11 - 0 Crashes / Issues

Kindly advise whether this is being considered for repairs or if the emphasis is to continue providing Directx 9 support.
