GTX680 And Losing DirectX Device

[Redolentchewtoy]

If I might put my 2 cents in on this, it's SE's issue, I have an I7 3770k with a MSI GTX670 and get the crashes as well, but when i get it, it also locks up my intel chip monitoring system, I have noticed that both my gpu and cpu ramp up overload then no dx detected only in the bazaar areas, Both intercooled as well, niether ever above 35 C. Both also have self overclocking, which they both go to far at certain points, so it's not a gpu or driver issue, cause my CPU wouldn't be getting nuts, no biggy I just have to restart my monitoring back up. It's something with this engine and self clocking technology that's not meshing right. That's just my opinion I'm no tech.

They're making a new engine because they can't easily make changes (according to SE) I think this includes this bug. Hopefully 2.0 will be better, but doubt this will get addressed before that

Read here. You see the "No DX Detected" message because your display driver has encountered a fault and thus locks up forcing WDDM to perform a reset of the driver by forcing a restart of the driver.

If you are using software that constantly increases the clock speed of the GPU or your VRAM past the officially posted clock speed, it will continue to increase the clock speed until it forces the driver to hang. You then experience a display driver reset and the loss of DirectX. If what ever you are using only "increases the clock when under heavy load" you need to make sure to remove or disable it. When it's under heavy load that is the time it's most likely to be negatively effected by overclocking.

And everyone, please stop saying that because your GPU runs at a few centigrade above room temperature that it's not the problem. Your GPU runs exactly the same at 35C as it does at 95C.

DoF definitely affects it because i crashed twice in a row yesterday leaving Uldah on my chocobo from the chocobo stables npc. The cutscene has DoF on by default (i've turned it cutscene effects but havent used choco npc since.)

The other thing that still makes me crash even without DoF enabled is the mercantile house (any city). If i go in there and talk to my retainers with the bell i will crash about 50% of the time. I have to either call them from the adventurer's guild bell, or go directly into the market ward where they are to trade stuff.

I just finished my brand new computer, i73930k, asus ROG, EVGA GTX 680 SC, I tried to do United We Stand tonight and I got the "ffxiv has stopped working" error about 12 times in 2 hrs. The game was completely unplayable. Not impressed.. Eventually i d/c while dead, came back and d/c again and gave up.. The game looks amazing but can't play... Ive tried high settings, low settings, settings off, everything...

Before this it was the directx error only but now it's switched to "ffxiv has stopped working"

[Sajittarius]

yea i havent gotten directx error lately but since patch 1.23a i get the FFXIV has stopped working once or twice a day. Looks like they changed something in the last patch.

I'm just waiting for 2.0 to fix everything at this point...

Count me amongst those with an issue. This is imo the same problem that was affecting nvidia users back in 2010. A google search on both the nvidia and the square enix side reveals several false solutions, the most laughable of which is nvidia claiming they can't recreate the issue. This despite hundreds of youtube videos and complaints clearly illustrating the issue, of which the ONLY COMMON THREAD is nvidia users playing ffxiv.

Its not the overclock, its not other programs being open, its not ambient occlusion or depth of field. The best nvidia cards are still not loading up heavy textures properly even under the lightest settings and someone needs to tell us why.

I am trying to get all the achievments and content done before 2.0 that I can right now, but how can I get any help? You can't even get in a linkshell without shouting in Ul'Dah, and sitting there makes the game crash. Not to sound snarky, but its been 2 years.

I am disappointed. I got my Lancer to 24 earlier this summer/year and I tried playing again today. At first, I was able to log in and make it to the first loading screen, then it would crash. I fidgeted with the Multisampling settings and now I can play for about 10 minutes or so and it will crash again, mentioning the DirectX issue.

I'm assuming that it's something in the latest patch (as previously stated) that's messing with something connected to the multisampling setting. As it is now, I don't even feel like trying to get it to work anymore today (and I really wanted to hear the lore behind Meteor, as the Meteor wasn't in the sky when I stopped playing before. I logged on and was like "WHAT IS THAT!?!"). Ah well. Here's to version 2.0.

Played the game on a GTX580 until yesterday and no real problems with it. Now I switched to a GTX690 and like other people I get "ffxiv has stopped working" quite frequently. (306.2 driver version)

AMD 5870 GC, playing in windowed mode, since patch 1.23a I get the 'Windows has stopped working' error alot more than I ever did. Also, the 'unble to detect directx message is now very common, mostly @ sign-in. My friend with a brand new Alienware and different graphics card is having the same issues. Prior to this patch I think i only got the directx error once in almost 2 years of play ;/

Ive got a GeForce GTX 675M with the latest driver (304.79) installed and I get both the DirectX crash and the "Final Fantasy XIV has stopped working" crash. Usually a few times each day, unpredictable time periods. I'm running it on Samsung series 7 gamer system, so it should be powerful enough to run it. Cmon SE -.-
