Issue with DirectX 11 since Endwalker update.

The game devs will not be fixing the hardware stability in your computer.

Get lost, if you are just gonna white knight for SE you can do that in other threads, unless you have a solution you have no reason to even look in these threads.

Puss_Kat is right, sorry. This error can have four sources: driver issues, hardware instabilility, overlay software or some completely obsolete tools like CCleaner, "motherboard tools" etc. which alter the Windows installation.

Hardware instability is very hard to track down. Especially when it is the system memory or a incompatibility between system memory and the motherboard etc. I had this issue too. In my case the CPU was faulty. And the not so funny thing is, either memtest86 nor test tools like Prime95 or Intelburntest could trigger the issue. It was not an overheating problem and it was not a PSU issue.

I agree with Puss_Kat, SE looks over the server and game client. Not the computer hardware, however, at least some of us can try to help but don't expect this from SE to help.

It's their job to make sure that the client is stable and crashes don't happen, what world do you live in? There's nothing wrong with people's hardware, it's an unstable client.

End user software operating on D3D11 and earlier cannot cause a PC to lock up, shutdown or bsod a computer in the absence of hardware, driver or flaws in the operating system.

It is not Squares job to ensure that unstable PC's and faulty consoles function at the expense of end users who do not have faulty devices - as the only way to do so is to reduce graphical and computational load on the device to pull it off.

Sadly your ignorance is way too common place thanks to PC's being so accessible in this decade.

Hi, I've been playing for 5 months and just realized I can't open the game trough ffxiv_dx11.exe and always open with the ffxivboot.exe

There were several times when launchers failed to run when I turned on the DX11.

Is there anything I can do to fix that?

Here's my Display log

you're on a driver that had some issues with DXGI/D3D11 updating to 472.39 at the least is recommended as 496+ has ongoing issues and the official 511 release till friday , but your description sounds like the D3D runtime issue mentioned in one of my prior posts.



To be clear, the Launcher is always executed via ffxivboot.exe (though there is also ffxivboot64.exe now, which isn't used by default), you cannot start the game directly from ffvix_dx11.exe or ffxiv.exe.

It absolutely can. A simple memory leak or buffer overflow can mess up things quite badly.
