DX11 crashes

[voltheiy]

And once again... we're at it.

It just randomly crashes, I have no idea why.
I've tried everything, it keeps crashing.

Is annoying to have to uninstall stuff, install stuff and whatnot just to play a game.

[DominicStone]

Same, ever since 4.01 patch. I played the first 2 weeks with no crashes, now this random crashapalooza. We need some recognition of this being worked upon. It's starting to get to unsubscribe levels of frustration.

[Lemage]

Yup. Since 4.01 for me too. Additional Info:

I'm having the same problem and it's really annoying.

I have friends who have the same setup as mine yet they don't experience this problem at all so I'm not sure what's the problem.

Have tried all the solutions posted in the forum, but still nothing.

[Salandar]

Add me to the list. Went from totally fine the last few years of playing to spontaneous crashing today. I've already tried the power saver settings, reinstalling all of my drivers, and ff14. Even changed which hard drive ff14 was stored on. But nothing works, as soon as I switch to DX11 I crash whenever the game attempts to load in. It happened initially going from the gold saucer to Limsa. I tried loading up on my laptop and changing zones, thinking maybe it was just Limsa, but that didnt work either.
Edit: I don't have any error messages to link. The computer crashes to black, and restarts.

Issue is occurring for me as well, latest was just fishing in Coerthas Western Highlands:
This issue has been happening since Heavensward at random times.
As a legacy player, this game is quickly becoming unplayable.

When I go to play the game, I log in, click play, and then get the error (fatal directx error 3000000). My system is running directx 12. I have been playing with no problems other than a bit laggy, but I just figured that was my internet. What can I do to get back on game?

[Scenic]

I had this problem and what fixed it for me was taking my gpu out and giving my system a good cleaning. Probably unrelated but it's worth a try. Also I've seen people mention running a chkdsk fixed their issues.
