    Consistent crash / PC hard-lock during specific cutscenes

    I'm experiencing game crashes during specific cutscenes that completely lock up my PC. The screen goes black, and the system is non-responsive to input devices. I have to hard reset the PC with the power button.

    This occurs at the same spot in the three cutscenes where I've encountered it (all Main Story Quest, in 4.0 content -- I haven't tried going back and finding earlier content that does this). It even happens when viewing the cutscenes again in the Inn room.

    I can reproduce the crash every time. As an example, if I view cutscene #5 from "The Die Is Cast", it will crash during the second line of dialog. It doesn't matter how long I wait before progressing past the first line of dialog, it's always the same exact spot about two seconds after the second person starts speaking.

    Please help. This is extremely frustrating. I've just come back after a two-year break on a new PC and new FFXIV installation.

    System specs:
    AMD Ryzen 3600
    Zotac GeForce 1070 Super (newest drivers, 11/5/19)
    16 GB RAM
    Windows 10 Home 64-bit (fully updated)
    Game running under DirectX 11 (I've tried Full-Screen and Borderless Windowed)

    Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

    Have any updates or changes been made to the PC ? How long have you been experiencing this issue?

    This is a new PC. I started playing again a couple of weeks ago after a very long break, and just started on the Main Story Quest again yesterday, when the cutscene crashes started. There isn't much at all installed on this PC yet.

    I never had any issues on my previous PC (but I hadn't played in about two years).

    Other things I've tried with no success:
    - Disabling overlays in all programs (Discord, GeForce Experience, and Steam)
    - Disabling other programs that start at launch (other than the Realtek audio drivers)
    - Checking the Windows Event Viewer for errors (there's nothing, just a "the system stopped unexpectedly" error on the next boot-up)

    Good afternoon and thank you for the reply.

    Outside of restarting the PC, what have you tried to alleviate the issue?

    As said above:
    - Disabled overlays in all programs (Discord, GeForce Experience, and Steam)
    - Disabled other programs that start at launch (other than the Realtek audio drivers)
    - Checked the Windows Event Viewer for errors (there's nothing, just a "the system stopped unexpectedly" error on the next boot-up)

    In addition:
    - Checked that Windows 10 is up to date
    - Checked that my video and audio drivers are up to date
    - Monitored CPU and GPU temperature (both are fine, even when the issue occurs)
    - Ran Memtest86 to check for memory errors

    Other graphics-intensive games have run fine on this PC. Control, Forza Horizon 4, and The Outer Worlds all ran flawlessly. As does FFXIV, except when encountering spots in these specific cutscenes.

    Aha. The crashes do NOT happen when running FFXIV in DirectX 9.0c mode.

    I tried viewing all three cutscenes that had been causing issues, and they all played normally under DX9. So it's almost definitely a DX11 issue specific to FFXIV.

    Any ideas? I'd much rather run in DX11 (and it sounds like DX9 support is going away at some point).

    Good afternoon and thank you for the reply.

    Could you try doing a clean reinstall of Final Fantasy XIV? Additionally, you may want to try deleting the locally-saved data folder (My Documents > My Games > Final Fantasy XIV).

    Tried fully reinstalling the game after clearing my user folders, and I still get the cutscene crashes.

    The only troubleshooting step I've tried that has worked is running the game in DirectX 9.0c mode.

    Good afternoon and thank you for the reply.

    If you have not done so already, could you try doing a cleanboot? Open the task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.
