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

[Clor]

Had crashes every 1-5mins for all of patch 5.2, most of the time errorless. I had played on DirectX9 to resolve this.

5.3 released, so I decided to swap back to DirectX11 because Dx9 looks like garbage and also doesn't handle lots of player models in an area well. (Feels like I'm playing on console when I'm on a high end pc...) Well, to my pleasant surprise, in patch 5.3 DirectX11 worked! No crashes at all! Zero! It was paradise! My game looked good again, and ran smoothly.

Then patch 5.3 Hotfixes happened.

Logged in tonight for the first time since the hotfixes were patched in; I've crashed 5 times already, some errorless, some not. Going to try some various troubleshooting again like I did last time before eventually giving up. (2-3 hours troubleshooting on several nights, full reinstall, all the nvidia control panel settings, ffxiv settings, frame caps, different resolutions at different framerate caps, different monitors, removed overclocks, moved ffxiv to a different drive including SSD... everything.)

Looks like it's back to DirectX9 for me. Something's gotta get fixed SE and I don't think that it's something that I'm in control of.

What Nvidia control panel settings are recommended for laptop users with a DirectX Error 11000002 problem?

Guys remember one thing..

Direct 11 will force game launcher to run in 64bit mode as well...

Ff14 dev should be trying to reproduce this internally and work with AMD to fix in their drivers. I definitely think it's some compatibility issue.

Also if someone haven't tried please try older video card drivers, a few different ones and see if any difference. Updating to latest doesn't always mean it is the most stable. I had so many issues with latest Nvidia August drivers for example. And in their Nvidia forums everyone has compliants across various games.

Yep, I'm having it too!! This problem has been here for years, why has it not been looked into and fixed yet? it's been years since this problem first cropped up.

Having this issue too now
I've gone a whole month since getting back into FF14 on PC without even one crash, now I can't even login in without it crashing directx 11

Tried deleting my drivers for nvidia and reinstalling them which worked...for about and hour...

Update: combo of reinstalling drivers and toggling LOD options in the graphics menu seem to have fixed my crashing dilemma. I had disable the low quality LOD settings because I was getting stretched polygons. Unsure if both are what have fixed my issue or if it was solely my LOD. Hope this helps anyone, haven't crashed all day.

had to stop raiding cause of it, felt too bad ruining every other run cause of crashes.

Hi yes also having this error now.

I think I'm having this issue now as well. I never had a problem until yesterday, when I started to get the DirectX 11 error. I fiddled with my graphics settings to no avail and finally reinstalled. Worked fine for all of one cutscene, got the same error again, and now I crash to desktop with no error simply on getting into the game after character selection.
