Been getting Random BSOD crashes

Just reinstalled windows and FF14, still happening

Its just in the last week its been happening been playing ff14 for years never had this.

My temps are fine, custom water-cooling (never gets above 50c).

Seems to be since the last update?

Sounds like it’s probably hardware failure, maybe your RAM or HHD or SSD is starting to fail.

A little update to anyone experiencing crashes, 3rd windows reinstall, 3rd FF14 re-download and install, don't install Windows Pro N (i thought maybe this would work), as ff14 wont work, its missing files.

Edit, seemed to crash most often when fast travelling.

Specs Ryzen 7 5800x, X570 Asus Dark latest bios beta
32gb Mem 3200mhz
Nvidia Founders 3080 all on custom water (no temp issues) no overclock.

Seems to be working so far, i havent installed the latest Nvidia drivers, or MSI Afterburner, i like the overlay for potential issues, but maybe this was the issue, who knows.

Ill keep you posted, it seems to be from the last ff14 update that my issues started happening.

Basically still happening, totally had enough of this, game is unplayable, so will be cancelling my sub until they update the crappy game engine, so prob never.

On a note all other games work fine

PLEASE READ THESE! I've seen this for the past few weeks, a Windows update causing BSODS and poor frame rate for gaming.

You can also manually uninstall KB5001330 as well as the optional KB5000842 .

We understand your frustration, but can't really fault the game while the rest of us are working flawless. There are updates push by Microsoft as stated above causes issue - 99% is system malconfig. 1% hardware goes on fire.

Thanks for your responses, 4th time lucky, reinstall of windows, but halted all windows updates, seems to be working.

Dare I run any overlay software though, or change it from full window?

I may try tmr.

Fingers crossed

i had that same error and it was my main M2 SSD that was failing, tried multpile windows reinstalls, replaced my ram as well, finally replaced my M2 SSD and everything worked fine no isses since.

Exactly the same problem. It is impossible to play. I noticed that crashes occur only when playing under DX11. With dx9, everything is fine. I will try to remove the win 10 updates.

Had same problem and at the end it was the M2 SSD who died. The BSOD were just the first sign, they became more and more frequent and one day it just didn't start at all. Bought a new one and everything was good again.
