If You're Having DirectX 11 Crash Issues, REPLY TO THIS!

I posted a couple days ago that my game started crashing every day when they released patch 5.3. It had never crashed before that patch. Today I believe I have figured out what was causing the crashing for me. I discovered that I could not get through the sapphire weapon instance without crashing, I tried maybe a dozen times. So, I used this to test various possible fixes. Tried turning off gsync, tried unplugging my secondary monitor, tried changing various settings in the nvidia control panel all to no avail. Finally I tried limiting the framerate to 60fps in the nvidia control panel program specific 3D settings for FFXIV and I was able to get through the entire instance. I have a 165hz monitor. Normally FFXIV was only giving me maybe 120fps max, but I did notice that with the most recent update I was getting upwards of 160fps. At first I thought this was a good thing, that they had finally optimized the game to run properly on high refresh rate monitors. Now I'm thinking that's what was causing the game to crash. I'm going to try bumping the cap up to 120 to see how far I can push it without crashing, I can live with a framerate over 100.

Also started crashing after 5.3 but only on one character on Cactuar. My Balmung main works perfectly fine. Can someone help?

This whole series of errors and the seeming lack of care from the devs is just bizarre. Reporting in to say that I've unfortunately joined in with the error-train, getting a lot of errors for no real discernible reason. Tried everything short of flashing my BIOS and taking a hammer to my rig to fix it.

Having the same dx11 crash, only started happening to me when i tried to enter the Lavender Beds and now i cant play the character as it crashes while loading the area. It was working fine before then, ive tried everything other forums post suggest except turning off hyper threading

Having the same issues... Never happened before till I got a new Gsnyc monitor with 240hz refresh about a week ago prior to patch... Get multiple DirectX11 errors mostly only when I am in the cities. I have tried everything others have said including making a custom resolution and capping it at 90hz and even capping the FPS in game to 60, limiting FPS on background and what not and still continue.

I am also having a similar issue while trying to make a Roegadyn lancer. I then decied to go with a Hyur archer, the game worked with no crashes until I got to lisma lomisa upper decks. Now it's crashing constantly.

I'm currently dealing with the same exact issue. Ever since last night my game refuses to operate properly when attempting to do any content. At times I get the laundry list of DX11 error codes and other times the game just closes with no warning or error codes. Im super frustrated and dont know what else to do

So after reading through the forum thread I think I solved my issue. Steps I took include:

1. Disabled CPU Clock boost in BIOS (Im on an Intel 8700K rig)
2. Disable XMP Profile and manually set my DRAM frequency
3. This is the one I think cause my issue mainly, Disabled Discord Overlay

Hope this helps someone. Would like to know if this helps anyone else

Yep, I’m having it too constantly and I’m so sick of scouring the Internet for a solution.
