Game crashes right at start

[Ytera]

Good evening!

Since my hijack in the other thread (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...36#post5400336) got no reply up to now, i rather start a new thread for my problem.

Since the patch today i can't start the game anymore. I get into the launcher, type in my data and hit "Play". Then the screen goes black like it always did and the game just closes. Sometimes i see the FF14 Shadowbringers logo and sometimes i don't.

And before the obligatory question is coming up: the only change made since Sunday (when i last was ingame) was the patching of the game today.

PS: I even have a backup copy of the game in a different location on my HDD for the reason if something happens to my main one i still have a backup..but even the backup has the same issues.
