[POSSIBLE FIX] for Fatal DirectX Error 11000002 on Nvidia cards

[Galborion]

My girlfriend cannot enter Chrysalis, she gets instant crash and cannot log back (I always have to log her character on my PC to get her out of there). I guess she is lucky because its the only place in game where it happens (100% of the time though). It was not that bad before, but now when Chrysalis is part of Trial roulette its bad. This issue started to appear after 3.5 patch. Its so long and there is still no fix from SE side. Its absolutely clear that is problem on client side and not on nVidia drivers because it did not happen before 3.5. I have no idea what they changed, but they changed something and they should fix it!

I've had some success with resetting the settings in launcher config, setting the correct resolution and running in Borderless Window mode. I get some weird frame slow downs (mostly old ARR zones) but no crashes tonight. I really prefer to play Fullscreen but if I need to run it like this for now then I'm gonna have to deal with it :P. Anywho, hope that helps someone out there with the DirectX woes.

Well...after days with no crash, I crashed twice this evening over a 4 hour play session. Borderless Windowed mode, no setting changed, no different programs running, etc...

I get the 1100002 error all the time. I had thought it was because I am playing on an old laptop (and maybe that is the reason for me), but now I'm not so sure. I play on the absolute bare minimum graphics settings (15fps, windowed 1024, etc.) on a nvidia 540m. The 540m appears weaker than the 8800, which SE says is the minimum needed for FFXIV. DirectX 11 actually appears to catch the error and quit the program, whereas with DirectX 9 I have to hard reset my computer. Not really sure if I really belong in this thread since my computer is so old, but I thought I'd give my two cents...

This post absolutely belongs here, sorry you've joined our ranks . I really don't think it's hardware specific as my machine specs are complete overkill and I'm suffering the same crashes. I'm convinced that this is a code problem in the client; as many have tested various Nvidia drivers with little-to-no success.
