Hello my friend who has recently resubscribed and reinstalled the game after deleting it has been running into an unexpected error every time he boots the game and presses play.

I'm making this thread in his place since there is the rule of being unable to make a thread if you haven't logged in for 14 days because of this error he can't log in at all.

After entering his details and pressing the button to launch the game, the launcher goes black and this "An unexpected error has occurred" message pops up.

We have tried a couple solutions found online like reinstalling FFXIV and making sure his drivers are up to date.

Thank you for your time and I hope we can sort this out quickly. He is unfortunatly losing sub time as a result of this issue.

(As a side note, why is the error text in Japanese when english was chosen when installing the game? This isn't the main issue of course but just a question.)
