Game Crashing Upon Start

[Quadal]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j4G...ew?usp=sharing

I'm getting this error upon starting the game and I'm not sure why. Just started back up FFXIV about a week ago and things were fine and went to log back in today and this happens. Is there any fix for this? The only thing that has changed on my system lately is a Windows 10 update so I'm not sure what is causing it.

Not really happy I'm unable to play the game for some unknown reason all of a sudden.

Edit: Seems the image I'm trying to post isn't working but it seems to be a directx 11 error. And here is the system report below.

Reinstalling the game may have fixed things for now. Hoping it doesn't happen again though.

If you glance at the support forums nearly every one of them is about this issue. Its super common and seems to be on the games side. I have had this issue on 3 different PCs, (one desktop two laptops). I did a clean install of windows and wipped my PC clean. updated drivers and windows then only installed the game and nothing else. still get this issue but not as often. I can now play the game for a few hours sometimes but cant load any cutscenes without a crash and sometimes crashes when loading into trials or areas.
