Good afternoon and thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

How log have you been experiencing this issue? Additionally, what have you tried so far to alleviate the issue?

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

[WindyGamer]

I've only seen this in the last few days before I reported it.
I have no clue what I might do to fix this. It happens infrequently when I start FFXIV and when I restart the game, it does not fail, but works fine.
I hope the screenshot can help to track it down since it contains info about where the crash occurred.

Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Have any changes happened to the device before the issue began? We would also like to recommend several other troubleshooting steps:

1) Make sure that your hardware is not overheating and remove any overclocks you may have on your graphics card or processor. Please check that any fans or vents are clear of blocks.
2) Disable any additional programs that could cause interference with the game itself including chat programs. Also, remove any custom configurations made using graphics driver-level programs
3) Remove any mods or injectors from the game or system
4) Turn off Fullscreen Optimizations. Find the executable file for the game (normally found in the install folder), right-click it and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box labeled 'Disable Fullscreen Optimizations', then click 'Apply'.
5) Remove any unnecessary USB or audio devices (controllers, headphones, flash drives etc.)
6) Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card
7) Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything
8) Install FINAL FANTASY XIV and Windows onto the same drive (preferably the C:\ drive)

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

I know this sounds odd as a thing, but by chance are you also running and AMD CPU and and NVIDIA set up?

I don't think it's a coincidence
