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

[Lucas_Angelini]

After weeks of trial error, and occasional crashes here is my findings:

First I should mention that my setup basically has the game running at 144 FPS, and I doubt that this information is reflected when system summary is generated from ffxiv's tool.
My crashes turned out to be essentially GPU hitting 100% Utilization.
While this should not be an issue, there is a relation that can be observed. Open "Task Manager" and go to Performance > GPU and look at the graph with 3D on it's top left corner.
Aside from the occasional screen activation spikes, if you reach 100% while playing, you are most likely to get Fatal Error 11000002

- Solution 1:
Opt out of Dx11 and use Dx9
This ensured that my game does indeed function however with occasional freezes where Dx11 would just straight crash.
For a fast solution, this works.

- Solution 2:
If you have multiple programs consuming your GPU's 3D processing, stop/close them.
However this is not a guaranteed solution, as your GPU can hit 100% Utilization.

- Solution 3:
Drop frame rate.
Playing the game at half the frame rate (72 FPS in my case) helped a lot.
My GPU Utilization is around 40% and no crashes for the past 3 weeks or so.

Hope this can help a fellow WoL/D

I wonder if Admins/GMs actively track this thread

As a Alienware laptop user with a NVIDIA Control Panel, do I change the max frame rate to 72?

Hey everyone! Started playing 5 days ago and ran into these DirectX11 crashes. But!!! I did a few things and they stopped (already two days with out crashes with ~6 hour sessions). Maybe to someone it will be useful:
-installed Microsoft Visual C++;
-updated the BIOS to the latest version for my Asus motherboard (2020/09/21 Release);
-set full-prefomance mode in NVidia Control Pannel->3D Settings->Global parameters ->Power managment;
-also in 3D Settings for ffxiv14_dx11.exe I have set V-Sinc in Fast-mode and fps to 120 (but in game I still have 140~144 lol);
Sorry for my bad English. Wish you, folks, to find your own effective solution of this trouble.

Brand new ASUS TUF 506 laptop with this issue. Reinstalled drivers and it worked for about a day. Miffed I bought the game for PC after playing PS4 for months and treating myself to a gaming laptop and this keeps happening. It's currently intermittent but since I dont play any other games, I have no reason to keep the laptop. It may get returned.
