Final Fantasy XIV stopped working

[Arthane]

This keeps happening to me randomly. Anyone know what's going on? Do I need to reinstall the game?

When did this last happen? They have been working on the game off and on during March 29th so it could be due to that. Also what is the error you are getting? The maintenance is due to increased lag/server overload. If you are getting an error that says "trouble communicating with the server" then it could be that the server overload is causing you to have trouble receiving data and crashing your connection kicking you back to the log in screen. If you are getting a total game crash it could be something else. If you list you computer specs and who your service provider is, what times of day you are having issues the Devs will be more likely to respond to your post.

Usually if you press CTRL + F4 while in game it fixes it.
