Recently Crashing a lot

[Teuciont]

Has anyone else had this problem? I know of at least 3 other people who have been having this problem a lot more since 1.20a, with it having toten worse in 1.20b.

error 30002?

No, just a straight up "FFXIV has stopped working."

Maybe your installation is broken :/
Seems to happen too often.

I'm having constant crashes every hour or less, I'm new to game so I'm guessing something in the last patch.

My setup is:

Intel i7 2600k
8GB Ram
GeForce GTX 560 TI

I don't get whats wrong, today I even reinstalled Windows and the game, yet I'm still getting the same crashes, both fullscreen or windows mode.

Any Ideas?

I keep crashing a lot too. First time I uninstalled which took well over an hour because the official uninstaller wouldnt work and I had to download a third party program to get the game off of my system. I just reinstalled last night and was fine, but now when I try to log in on the same spot I logged off last night I crash. I can load fine on another computer.

Usual causes for ffxiv crashing ordered by chance:
1. bad luck (bad code/broken server took your client down)
2. overheated GPU (should always be less than 100°C)
3. broken configuration (delete the Final Fantasy XIV folder in your "documents/my games/" and run ffxivconfig)
4. broken installation (reinstall)
5. broken HDD (try a checkdisk)
6. bad GPU driver (try a different version)

Ok since I'm a bit of computer expert I've been doing some debugging on this issue, as for me I think I found what is causing this problem, if possible can any of the people having the issue post they're computer specs and go to the event viewer on Control Panel>Administrative Tools and look for the application error of the game when it crashed and paste it here please.

Pretty much this every single time it crashes.
I thought it was the drivers at first because I have been trying to get my graphics cards to do Max 3D (590 & 295) and have been crashing a few times because of it. But when I logged off two days ago and then tried to log back in the same spot I had done nothing but browse the internet during that time.

Ok first thing, I've noticed crashes being triggered by the 3D Vision module of nvidia cards, so if you have an nvidia card try to reinstall the driver without 3D Vision, also I'm still getting crashes with an error exactly like the one you just post it same Fault offset, so I'm working on it to figure out what could be causing this and if it's fixable
