Tried lowering my monitor's refresh rate, and that unsurprisingly did nothing
Guess I'm in for the long haul.
See you all in a couple days, and hopefully this'll all just be a bad memory soon enough.

I'm done. It's been a week that I couldn't play the game in properly because of mistakes from the developers.
And now, even after the hotfix, I still can't play because of a whole new set of errors you can see below.
The way SE is treating paying customers, I'm done. I'm just done. Even F2P games are more stable and reliable than this. SHB is by FAR the worst expansion I have seen in my life in any game ever made.
Since people are reporting that a fresh install seems to be working post update i've decided to give that a shot. It's the only thing i can think of at this juncture.
I, too, decided to reinstall all the game from fresh. More or less 10 hours downloading the files. Quite long but well i can't play anyway, so i want to give it a try.
Yeah the reinstall didn't work for a friend at all. Really bizarre that after 2 patches, this issue still isn't entirely fixed. It just kneecapped a new group.
I'm seriously questioning how they managed to break it for more people by reverting it back to where it was. What exactly did they do since the benchmark that broke the game this badly.
EDIT: THE REINSTALL WORKED

I have no issues... running 1080 Max-Q with latest hotfix driver from Nvidia.
Can you all list:
Windows version?
Nvidia driver version?
Is DirectX up to date?
Have you try turning off third party Anti-Virus?
Steam or Standalone FFXIV?

I wonder if, in the cases where the patch didn't fix it, the people didn't break their installs trying to force the game to work before the patch rolled out.
I wonder because it seems like reinstalls are doing the trick for some, and for myself, the patch worked immediately - and I didn't try to fix it at all on my laptop. Just waited for the patch.
Here's the thing.
People with high refresh rate monitors were getting japanese errors on the start of the client yet after hot-fix they seem to be fine.
But people like me with ordinary 60Hz/75Hz monitors were getting even MORE errors after ShB release, so I doubt it was about refresh rate.
I think configs or something else messed up after the update, this is why complete reinstall worked.

But as I said this is very disrespectful to people with low internet speed.
Such a big company could easily make 'Repair' buttons that will check files on server and fix them on your PC.
Even F2P projects have that.
SE is great when it comes to banning for misbehavior, all these jails and GM tet-a-tet. Cool system, I enjoy it.
But technically SE is super low, this is a shame for such giant in this industry.
