I entered the purple gate in grid and fought but on the last wave of enemies just before the priest spawned I heard fan making some weird noises from my computer. Like anyone would I opened up some software (MSI afterburner) to check my cards temp and fan speed to make sure it wasn't being over worked. The card was fine and the noise was coming from a different fan that I will replace soon. However opening MSI afterburner cause the game to crash. I play in windowed mode so opening other programs shouldn't be a problem. After it cashed I tried to log on as fast as I could so I could keep killing and get the chest. When I logged on I couldn't fight anything due to invalid target and no chest spawned. Well yea that sucks but I can live. What drives me nuts is how often opening a program crashes FFXIV not to mention the crashes from CS's.

I ask that you please fix it so we can open a programs while ffixv is running without fear of crashing. I cannot open a program while FFXIV is running without fear I will get the directX error crash. As of right now I am stuck opening the programs I need before I launch the game. Please fix the crashing and get me my chest cause I earned it. >.>
