I gave your suggestion a try, I still got the directx error sadly.
I gave your suggestion a try, I still got the directx error sadly.
I've been having this problem for weeks now. I have tried just about everything, re-installed drivers, game, settings, everything. Can't play for 10 minutes without it crashing. This is the only game on my PC that crashes.
not re-subbing to this game til this is fixed.
I dont exactly get a direct X error, but my game freezes, music still plays, and if i click the game twice, it becomes white, then click again for it to quit on me.
I've been getting occasional dx11 crashes since ShB dropped, but suddenly I can barely be in the game for 10min without it crashing with some sort of DX11 issue.

In the past few days I've started getting DX11 errors each time my game starts up for the first time in a little while. Doesn't matter if I played that day or not, if it's been a few hours since the game is open it'll error on startup and then let me get in fine on the 2nd go. The weirdest part is that my game will still play the opening movie and only close out if I click OK on the error.
Here's the screenshot of it:

Moved my PC to another space and the only change is that I don't currently have the old TV I was using as a second monitor hooked up to my PC. Was playing the game perfectly fine earlier that same day but once I got everything set-up again the game would crash on launch if I had it on DX11 mode. Even though it was my secondary monitor windows considered it my primary monitor in its settings, so I'm suspicious that this change might have something to do with the cause. I tried a couple of the other fixes I saw online and here on the forums including switching to DX9 mode and messing around with my display settings, doing a full reinstall of the game and rolling back video drivers but nothing has worked so far. Game runs mostly fine in DX9 mode but I also get random crashes and glitches (like the floor not properly loading in a Shadowbringers ex trial and having to look below the arena to see AoE markers) so I want to get the whole DX11 thing figured out sooner than later. Gonna be able to get my TV setup again soon so I'll update here if that fixes it, but any ideas I can try in the meantime that don't involve reinstalling the game again would be appreciated. I'll still be browsing around and trying stuff on my too.
For those who are curious about hardware specs my CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600 and my GPU is an Nvidia GTX 1660 Super. I'm also running Windows 10. My main monitor is some generic 60hz 1080p monitor from AOC and the TV I was using was an old LG flatscreen. Don't remember the specs on the TV exactly aside from it probably being 30hz refresh rate, and the native resolution was a weird number a little lower than 1920x1080, but still way above 1600x900
Here's how the crash looks too, the fact that it looks like it's trying to start the game in a small window despite it being set to borderless windowed is another reason I'm thinking this might be related to my displays somehow (like maybe it's trying to open the game on a monitor that doesn't exist anymore and that's causing some problem with how DirectX handles things, although this might not be the case since it still happened after I tried a couple more times after setting the game to windowed and fullscreen).

Yeah im having the exact same error happen with directx11, I cant seem to narrow down what the problem is because I have tried all of the same solutions. Only thing I can say for sure is that it started after starting the msquestline for stormblood 4.2. Once the crashing started it got worse over the course of a couple days, now I cant even log into the game because it gives me an error log.

Just started having this issue out of nowhere. Repeated crashes. Here's my errors.

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.
