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

[EliciaVenom]

Yep, I'm having it too. I have changed absolutely nothing about my computer other than allowing normal Windows updates when I am supposed to update my computer and now I am unable to load into the game anymore on my computer. I get to the log in screen go to log into the world and that's when I crash. I pretty much get the same error as Ahsardre who posted a few posts above mine. I will later edit this with my crash when I try again tomorrow, I got too frustrated trying to load in over 5 to 10 times already.

Edit: Here is the screenshot from today - still unable to log in, I do use Windows 10

Since last week, I'm now also in the "Club of Crashes".

Last week, I have replaced my existing graphic card (Nvidia GTX970 TI) with a new graphic card (Nvidia GTX2070 TI). And since the replacement, I have random DX11 crashes with FFXIV. I have already everything mentioned here and elsewhere (from changing resolution, fullscreen and borderless, fix refresh rate, complete new graphic driver installation and much more). But the random chrashes are still available. The only thing working is switching to DX9, which causes no problems or crashes.

By the way, FFXIV is the only game which is crashing with DX11. Hopefully SquareEnix solves this problem with one of the next patches.

Hello guys. Friend of mine has been crashing and I'm trying to help him solve it. He has windows 10 and is affected.

I'm on an old lenovo y-50 with windows 7 professional and don't have this issue.

Has anyone been affected by this crash that isn't running windows 10?

YEP same even made a reddit post so if more info needed on my dx crash let me know as i have it

Thought I was out of the hole after just not touching the game for awhile, but after about an hour and a half with no issues, it started happening again. Absolutely none of the fixes I've yet seen for this problem have worked.

i also am experiencing some un-playable related issue but without any error codes. just masses and masses of Crash to Desktop.

it started right off at 5.25 and while i have days im OK, i have 95% of the days its not. and frankly the last 3 weeks i stopped caring to cap myself weekly tomes for both dow/doh

i hope 5.3 patch might resolve this deep-rooted problem but i doubt it bc i see a mount upon mounting of topics on different forums etc about CTD and Errors.

i also experience CTD in DX9 so if its really a 11 problem, perhaps not and just a 14 problem.

ive tried to ask for help in varieus topics on Reddit and this is what ive wrote so far:


Specs:

• GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
• AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-core Processor
• 16GB RAM
• 60Hz Monitor of Samsung

i can sum up as good as i remember what i did up to now:

• reinstalled 14
  
• updated/checked drivers
  
• updated windows
  
• updated GPU several times (no roll back bc it started happening after a 14 update and not a GPU update)
  
• scf scannow and fixxed the stuff
  
• changed to dx9 (it ran best the longest but then it started CTDing again)
  
  
• run normally
  
• run as administer
  
• change all my max settings to the lowest of lowest (you have to do that manually)
  
• checked my GPU itself; runs nicely at around 100% and lower when 'lower fps when afk'
  
• clicked on/off lower fps when afk
  
• clicked on/off lower fps when inactive (so when alt-tabbed to other character or to the internet)
  
• cap or uncap the fps to any of the settings
  
• change the Ambient Occlusion and Glare settings
  
• windowed, borderless and full screen options
  
• check for Firewall issues
  
• checked for overlays from any program (i have 3 using it, apparently- learnt something there!)
  
• stopped any program and only had 1 FF14 on.
  
• checked my USB slots (as described on 14 trouble shooting page); are they in their correct slots? 2.0 3.0 3.1 etc .
  
• removed a usb-player and see if i would crash (so log on w/o a KB or a mouse or a gamepad)
  
• changing the sound as mentioned by ppl in comments (of reddit)
  
• chkdsk done for the one 14 is on, and just checked all of em while i was at it (found no errors)
  
• changed my Hz of my monitor as described in comments/on other forum. 60 59 and 50 is all i got and neither work. 60 is default. (i have this monitor longer than the problem)
  
• friend suggested running a benchmark (i used https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven) and see if it would crash / show any weird stuff. it didn't

today it felt to me that certain areas make me crash alot, like Limsa main aether/lower limsa and the foundation. im still in the middle of testing it and it feels music (of 14 or youtube or WMA) is also causing some instant CTD 14 problems. i am still trying to pinpiont the problem as for the past 2+ months and this is how far i got.

i will stop playing when this continues after 5.3, bc the past month i hardly even done a thing besides trial and erroring.
on that note ^ ; i played FF11 and it works fine, no errors or CTD's. i know its an 'old game' but it still uses coding and whatnot and i have no issues there.

I thought by now they would have removed that stupid anticheat thing they put in that causes these crashes. A rep said "As a part of our countermeasures against cheating, we’ve made it so that the error appears and the game will be unable to run when there are applications or processes, etc. that interfere with memory. There are a variety of applications in Windows, and it is difficult to suggest a specific method of solving the issue."
I bought ffxiv through steam and I need steam to be running for the game to work. People are still running mods and stuff, this thing only seems to cause grief to normal players. I genuinely don't know what to do anymore. I'm crashing all over the place. In raids, dungeons, out in the open world, farming, pvp. It's just too frustrating and killing my desire to play this game.

this sounds horrible. esp when i know i am not having anything on my PC that they deem as 'cheating' . i hope...so bad.. that this is not true.

[HitagiSenjougahara]

Been having this issue for awhile.

[Theodric]

I've also ran into frequent disconnects in recent days. I'll be playing the game and then just suddenly be booted for no apparent reason.

[snpbond]

Add me to the list, frequent crash to desktop, some with DirectX errors some without.

Ryzen 5 3600
Nvidia GTX1070 - Driver 446.14

Attempted DDU driver removal and re-install. Re-installed FFXIV as well, nothing helps. Only happens in this game...
