ffxiv directx error 1100002

[Trollerb]

By no means am I an expert. It seems to be a memory leak of some kind on the client side. After playing around with game settings. The higher the FPS and graphics settings the more often the error will occur. My computer is not a potato either. I have been playing max settings @144 FPS since 2018 when I built the machine. I got the crash to happen less often by setting game graphics to standard desktop and locking FPS to 72 in game

So, I actually managed to "fix" it (Touch wood, hasn't happened yet since I've done this.) by disabling my steam-overlay and the "fullscreen optimizations" on both .exe files in the FFXIV game folder. Yesterday it'd crash once randomly during a dungeon or raid, now that I've made those changes it hasn't happened once out of 5 dungeon runs. Really odd. I've never had them off before, so maybe an update to FFXIV botched something?

Hey! Has this fixed it for you? I've been running the game using the 'normal' launcher and via steam so I'm wondering if disabling fullscreen optimizations is also a non-steam thing?

Ever since I've made these changes, not one crash in the dungeon I would always crash in, even after non-stop 10 runs. I'm still trying not to jinx it, but for some reason doing both of those where I disabled the steam-overlay and fullscreen optimizations for BOTH .exe files in the game folder has seemed to make a difference. They were never off to begin with, so it's quite odd as to why they're causing issues only after a patch.

The disabled full screen opt did not help me and I do not use steam. So far day 3 no crash after locking my overlock with EVGA precision 1, locking FPS to 72 in game settings, and setting graphics to standard. This is a shit bandaid since I have been playing on max for years, but it works. 10 pvp games, 5 alliance raids, and a hades farm party (got the mount btw) and no crashing. For my system this is the fix i7700k/270z/1080/32gb3200ram all OC

To the SE mod who is going to copy paste an answer here. Please tell people to attempt the fix I have when this problem comes up in the future <3
