Thread: FF14 Constantly crashing after 4.4 update

On further occurrence, when the DirectX 9/DirectX 11 error pops up, more often than not it's letting me still load in and move around, although the music stops and certain NPCs stop loading in. Sometimes it allows the UI for Return to load in, but other times it doesn't. In areas where you can walk through area boundaries to load into another area, I've been able to walk to the area transition (assuming the game doesn't throw an error again on the way over and stop responding) and trigger the load, though the loading screen stalls out with the loading wheel spinning continuously. On clicking "okay" on the error messages, FFXIV closes out and shows three more of the same DirectX errors, but once I log back in and try loading into the new area, it seems to load up without the error happening immediately, which is what seems to happen for a long while if I try to load back in to the same area where it first crashed.

It seems an awful lot like something somewhere in the area isn't loading properly in places like Ul'Dah, the Doman Enclave, Rhalgr's Reach and Kugane, although that could also mean that, since those are areas that have a lot of current population for quests and unlocks and such, it might also be an issue with player models.

UPDATE: It's happening in Frontlines: Shatter now, too, but only when nearby where specific Storm players are gathering for tomeliths, which is really making me think this is being caused by something player-related when models load in.
