Hey all,

Began playing again just before Shadowbringers released. In all the time I've played, I never once had the DirectX error crash. I was playing on Dx9 after SHB released while finishing Stormblood's story, and again, no problem. However, once I began SHB, the new zones would not load and would just get stuck in a loading screen loop with music on a black screen. So, figured that as support for Dx9 was gone, I would switch to Dx11. Since then, crashes. There's no real 'moment' it will happen. Could be standing around in my house, could be in a dungeon or trial or raid. Like being on a knife's edge.

Now some days it's not to bad. It may be an hour before the first crash happens, I reboot, no more crashes for the next 4-5 hours when I go to bed. Other days, it can happen time and again with less than or just a little more than 30 minutes. I have tried fullscreen and windowed borderless, and switching between the two. No dice there. I have tried clean re-installs of drivers and the game, no good. I have searched and searched for a solution, but many people seem to have the same problem but it just occurs under different circumstances. Some can't even launch the game before it happens, and yet I can.

Basic info: Windows 10 (version 1903)
Geforce GTX 1070
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quad-core 3.2 GHz (no overclock)

No other game I've played has a DirectX crash and this only started once launching the game in Dx11. Is this problem originating on my end/Square/NVIDIA? Can something be done from any of the those 3 parties? Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
