Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

What exactly do you mean by the "DX mode toggle is only available when there is no driver at all?" Are you not able to select directx 9 mode on the launcher?

Make sure no other programs are running when you play the game and also check that your anti-virus/firewall have the appropriate exceptions for Final Fantasy XIV.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

This means that whenever a graphic driver isn`t installed (like after running DDU), the toggle between dx9 and dx11 is available.
When toggle is greyed out - I`m stuck at dx9, which gives me a corresponding error.

UPD: FOUND A SOLUTION
At the time when I updated my driver, I also loaded newest version of Duet Display, which I use to add a second monitor. Version was 1.5.1.4b. This morning I decided what if I delete it and give it a try. Tried that and OOPS: everyithing works. So I guess I will downgrade this program a little (cause I can`t stop using it, huh) and write to their support too. Also a useful information for anyone who use it too.

Thank you for the update LolZ544. I'm glad you were able to find a solution.

This thread will be moved to the 'Closed Concerns' subforum as the thread creator has found a resolution to their issue.
