GTX680 And Losing DirectX Device

[Sath]

try running the game in windowed mode, and see if that still happens.

I know sometimes windows 7 like to do something, that causes fullscreen things to lose focus. This happened on my laptop that was being used as an HTPC, and it was very annoying when movies would go back to windowed.

Nvidia was finally able to reproduce it, no fix is coming however:

I guess people just need to deal with it and wait for 2.0 engine.

Reproduce what? That topic didn't specifically said anything about the directx error

I just upgraded from two GTX580s to a GTX670 last weekend. This solved a lot of the problems I've been having, but I still get this crash randomly when running around cities.

Interesting to note that switching to 30fps mode in the general settings makes the crashes a lot less frequent.

I also want to mention that I also installed a new SSD in my computer at the same time as the graphics card, so this is not only a fresh install of FFXIV, but a fresh load of Windows 7 as well.

NVIDIA just released beta GeForce drivers (304.48).

The release notes mention an updated SLI profile for FFXIV. I'm downloading it right now. I'll let you know if it works any better.

The beta NVIDIA drivers didn't seem to fix anything.

They don't give a shit. That's what I got from cannot reproduce. 99% of the users can. They should just come. We dont know what the fck this error is. Here guys, you spent $650 dollars for a card that runs games worse than the late 580's. Take this rebate of $100 and be happy.

Yeah right....

It crashes a lot more rarely with Depth of Field and AO turned off...

....but I really like how the game looks with AO turned on. Very disappointing.

Oh well, if 2.0 really looks as good as those screenshots, I won't have to put up with it for long.

Played for only a couple hours last night after the patch, but did not crash once.

How's it working for everyone else?

i still crash randomly, its a known issue with Uldah and Uldah merc house (in other cities also).
I noticed my server is always getting emergency maintenance also (Excalibur).
They also said in the most recent patch that they fixed aa couple of places where the game crashes so im sure SE is aware of the crashes ppl are experiencing.

I'm pretty sure at this point its not nvidia's fault. My 670 runs other games flawlessly, i just hope 2.0 works fine.
