no issues prior to early release, now dx11 errors

Just tried to log in after downloading the patch and resetting the system settings, and I got this message before I could even exit the loading screen:
Unexpected error has occured, exiting Final Fantasy XIV

Please square, PLEASE don't make me have to reinstall, my shitty internet won't be able to take it

Unfortunately, re-install doesn't fix the issue, so don't worry, you won't have to do at least that (lol).

so, a bit of an update.
After crashing, the game basically fubared my audio drivers.
Had to reinstall them, and after a few restarts and without changing anything within the game, I don't have a crash anymore.
So, in my case at least, maybe that was something related to the game audio engine ?
I also use my computer for music production, so my environment is a bit weird, and I use a dedicated soundcard for gaming, which might complicate things a bit for the game.

That's interesting !

In my pevious message i mentionned that i heard something wrong when calling my servants, like a crakling noise. So ! I'll try to repair my sound and log into game to see.

Plus, i tried again, it was 2.30 pm and getting a DX11 error again and exactly the same one !

First one just before lunch time :



And this one at 2.30 pm :



See something different ? ... Jackpot ! (Oh Dear Dante... ), there's no differences ! Even date and hour are the same. No i'm not mistaken, those two images was taken at different times.

Well, i go try the sound fix, and i'll edit this message if anything good... or wrong.

Edit : Nope, sound is still messy when calling my servant and game crashes as well with no error and returns directly to desktop (I would like to point out that I am on a desktop computer, not a laptop)

I'm pretty sure the time and date in the error message are just the time and date of the current build release

Tried again after doubly making sure to rest the system settings, and I actually made it past the loading screen this time.
Not very far, seeing as I only got a view of my hotbar and the lominsan brick work, but I could use chat and my character was apparently moving, so that's progress I suppose.
Interestingly, while I could open up my inventory, the only items that had their pictures loaded were the ones that were already on my bar. I'm no programmer by any stretch, but this makes it sound that the game is failing to load, for whatever reason.
Gonna try it again and create a new charcter to see if Limsa is just cursed right now.

Nope, crashed immediately

I can make it to the loading screen. Just never past it. Been doing this ever since the update.
