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.

Mine crashes a lot.. especially when crafting.. It just shuts down on me.. FFXIV has stopped working and will be shut down..

It seems to get worse with every patch.. Notibly 1.18?

I put it down to Vista.. I need to install a better version.
