Greetings fellow Eorzean! In regards to your issue, it appears to be related to DirectX for Windows. Please try the following suggestions:

- Try switching to DirectX9 by selecting the ‘Config’ button on the launcher
- Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card.
- Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything.
- Run Windows Update and install all recommended and optional components. Multiple attempts and reboots may be required.
