Thank you for the reply BearC4t.

Does this crash happen on DirectX 9 at all? If you have not done so already, please try switching to DirectX 9 by clicking the 'Config' button on the launcher. Another thing you can try is changing the compatibility mode. This can be done by right clicking on the exe file (Default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot\ffxivboot.exe), right click it and select ‘Properties.’ Select the ‘Compatibility’ tab and select Windows 7.

Hope to see you online!
