Thread: FF14 Constantly crashing after 4.4 update

I finally reinstalled last night (both the game and my drivers) and the exact issue is persisting. I've noticed that mine almost exclusively happens in the Gold Saucer if a GATE is currently up, which makes me wonder if somehow certain NPCs are causing the issue? If I wait for the GATE to despawn I can load the GS just fine. Another notable time I crashed was on my way to Odin, loading into the Shroud to fight him. By the time I managed to relaunch the game he was already killed and I loaded in just fine. Unsure if NPCs could cause an issue like this, but it's just my experiences and I figured I would add this information.

Something definitely broke this patch. At first I thought my gpu was failing until I came to see if people were having similar problems. For the most part I crash every where. Instances, City-States, and Housing districts.

Tried many things already. Firewall permissions. Clean wipe and reinstalling graphic drivers and old stable versions. Disabling all overlays. Compatibility mode. Clean boot. Check SSD/HHD for errors. Stress testing system for gpu failure. If someone wants to try and reinstall their Windows don't do it. Already tested that out and the game still crashes.

This needs to be escalated.

The only thing that worked for me was running IE in win 7 capatability mode.

Did a full reinstall and local file wipe I'm still having problems teleporting into Ala Mhigo. While I can play on my other characters fine.

This is pretty disheartening, as this is the first week to a raid tier, with new tomestones, and now those that have this issue will be behind and off the regular amounts as well. I understand it is now the weekend, and that's life, but hopefully this is being looked into.

I do believe it is related to some NPC's of some type, friendly or not, and that causes a crash, but as to why , I do not know.

Yep. I missed out on early prog, early MB rush for the new crafts, and more than likely going to miss out on capping tomes before reset as well. Highly disappointed

I've also found out that going to character creation causes the issue as well. This is only solidifying my guess that it has something to do with loading NPCs/models/etc. Especially sucks since this means I can't fantasia. :/

Closed even though the same person said it didn't work in the end.







I feel like I might not even get any solutions to this problem after digging up old threads with my particular problem. I see a lot of these closed threads just because the OP did not respond back. Probably quit I would too. To be honest I don't know understand why something like suggesting a player to go back to Direct9x is even a solution. If you release the game in Direct11x and its broken. Fix it? This needs to be escalated to the Dev Team and not sweep under the rug already.

Happening consistently in Syrcus Tower for me as well, now. Every time the purple gate goes up, it seems. Hasn't happened in any other instance, however.

It would be really nice if mods would actually respond with something other than a canned answer with a list of fixes that haven't worked for a single person so far. It's getting really frustrating that I can't even play a game or use a fantasia that I spent real money on because of an issue outside of my control.

GM seems to be ignoring this thread now.
