    Same problem here too :/
    Every time I login I'm *instantly* hit with a DX11 error (or just a DX error if i switch 11 off)

    I resub, then hours later an ice storm knocks off my power for a few days.
    Then I come back to an update which totally screws me over.

    My luck is fantastic.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
    AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
    32 GB RAM

    Everything was working fine before the update, after the update I did a few pixie dailies and then went to do the dwarf ones and crashed.
    And now it's just instantly crashing every time I login.

    ---edit

    Finally gave up trying to do thing after thing and just fully reinstalled and now it's fine. We'll see for how long I guess.

    Lol. Well that didn't last long. Got 2 days of playing, then i got the error, and now FF14 won't even load.
    It just hangs on launch after the login window.
    Look I have a fairly large data cap but if I have to redownload the game every 2 days I'm gonna hit it. :/

    I'm envious of everyone that says they get this error and they can still play
    Every time I've got this error, it's been as I cast teleport.
    Any subsequent attempts to launch the game give this error immediately after getting in world.
    The only solution for me is a full reinstall.

    I've zipped up the entire game so I can uninstall/unzip it when this happens but christ this is such a pain.

    --edit 4

    They're coming more frequently. Zipping the files failed me for one reason or another, so I had to do a 3rd download.
    Making a straight copy, while taking more space, does at least help to recover ff14 back to a playable state by coping over the backup file.
    This is nuts but whatever. Hopefully SE fixes this shit sooner rather than later.

    --edit 5

    The only place I'm still getting the DX11 errors is in Bozjan. Constantly.
    If I can go 5 minutes without getting one while trying to attack I'm lucky.
    Unlike the other times I got the error though, I can relaunch fine, but yeah it's just, constant.

    --edit 6

    I appear to FINALLY be in the clear. I did the following:
    - Removal of GEFORCE Experience.
    - Clean install of current NVIDIA drivers (it's an option you can pick when installing drivers)
    - Full uninstall of FF14
    - CC cleaner run
    - Full reinstall/download on C drive with NOTHING ELSE running.

    I also did not use my backup download folder, so that brings my downloads of this game in the past week up to 4, JFC.

    anyway, I hope this helps SOMEONE, that's why i've been going over the dumb shit i've been doing, lol.

    Alright so I reduced my graphic quality to Standard (desktop) a day ago and the dx11 error frequency seems to have gone down. It still happens just not as frequent. However that is a non solution since I've tested my PC's specs with the Shb benchmark and got a score of above 12k which means I should be able to play the game at least in High (Desktop) since I was getting 60fps in that setting even in heavily crowded areas (Behemoth was having a Carnaval celebration earlier this week and Gridania was super crowded and the game still run smoothly).

    Here is the latest error I got 20 minutes ago if any dev still bothers to check this thread at all (doesn't seem like it since the last reply was on page 1)
