Seemingly random crash to desktop, no error code

[Trunks7287]

Same thing just happened to me. No error code or anything. Just straight to desktop. Apparently people have been experiencing issues like this since 5.1. Hopefully it will be addressed in the hotfixes tonight

Had no problems before 5.1 either. Got a a few crashes after the update, but has never been as bad as today.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Do you notice any pattern to the crashes? Are you in a certain location or doing a certain action when it happens?

You may want to try some of the following if you haven't already:

1) Reinstall your graphics card drivers. Use the most-up-to-date versions if they are available.

2) Remove any overlays that may be present (Geforce Experience, Steam overlay, etc.) and close any unnecessary programs while playing the game.

3) Try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game.

4) Reinstall Final Fantasy XIV.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
