    Hi everyone, instead of a factory reset, I did a fresh/clean install Windows 10 and downloaded FFXIV as the first application and it worked fine.

    I have tried about 20 methods before doing this re-installing windows, this should NEVER be the solution to solve any games having issues unless the PC itself is having issues.
    Please refer to the above posts by me to check out the methods I have tried and did not work.

    For now, I am stable in FFXIX, 2 hours in and have no crashes or errors. With everything I have done so far, I concluded that some of the "myth" or "theory" may not be true, such as dual-monitor causing the issues; 144 Hz; Overlays; etc;etc;

    From my understanding of IT as an IT student, there is a few possible theory,

    1. Hardware having issues but i doubt it since it worked on every game and I'm also able to play FFXIV again on the same CPU.
    2. Some programs or specs may not be compatible with the game, however, this does not really explains how I am able to play at all / roll back does not fix the issue.
    3. This is the most likely scenario that I believe, it would be corrupted file.

    It could be a file getting corrupted with new files being downloaded or existing files, this is a very vast area making it very complicated to say for sure.

    I do believe and think that this is in theory, SE/FFXIV devs fault, however I do not wish to point fingers, what matters the most is that this issue is fixed for me. Now I hope you guys are able to fix yours.
    If this truly is a coding, or development, or file handling issues, I hope SE/FFXIV devs can take note of it and make it more secure and reliable for everyone else as I believe this issues has been occurring since the past 2017 in 3.0.

    If you really love the game, and you are quite sure that it is not your hardware issue, you may try a fresh/clean install. I do recommend doing it if you have a little bit of knowledge in IT, otherwise it might not be a good choice as it may screw your computer and you will have no way to even use your computer. So please only try this if you know what you are doing, I would say that the steps is NOT complicated, a youtube video will teach you steps by steps on how to clean install windows. However, the dangerous part is that if something happens during the installations and you don't know what to do.

    I will continue to update my status, I do hope this will help some of you out there. If it does, please give it a thumbs up so that more people can see and use this method instead of wasting time trying many weird methods that may harm the CPU.

    Best of Luck fellow FFXIV friends
