Game Crashing Randomly

[Einmimiria]

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

Do you notice any pattern to this error? When it crashes, is it while you're in a specific area or while doing a certain action?

If this is brand new computer, make sure that Windows is completely up to date. This includes any optional updates that may not be installed automatically.

Additionally, make sure to close any unnecessary programs and disable any overlays (Geforce Experience, Steam Overlays, etc.).

You may also want to 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.

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

Thank you for your reply Einmimiria.

When the game crashes there is no pattern, it can be at any time, anywhere. Out in the world mining or doing other things or just sitting at my Free Company waiting for a dungeon queue, makes no difference.
I am sure that all of my Windows Updates are current. First thing I do is run all updates for the system and drivers
I did additional testing over the weekend with other games such as WoW, Star Wars The Old Republic, Diablo III, The Elder Scrolls Sky Rim and a couple of other Steam Games all of which none crashed, only Final Fantasy XIV appears to be having an issue with staying connected.
Disabling my Startup Items did not help, FF XIV still shuts down, sometimes in just a few minutes sometimes closer to an hour but it never stays connected for more then an hour at a time.
