DirectX 11 crash issue

[Irruchi]

Yes, the game is a diva. But if it would be a general problem with "bad coding" then everyone would have problems.

I don't know why the game triggers some instabilities and other applications do not. There are some possibilities: the game triggers power supply issues, it triggers issues with (automatic) overclocking/CPU/GPU boosting, it triggers issues with bad memory modules, bad drivers etc.

And then there are other things that can affect the system stability. The AMD platform had for a long time issues with PCIe 4.x. Then they had issues with USB which caused problems with AR helms/glasses etc. To fix those issues you should always have the newest BIOS of your motherboard installed. Those issues are fixed with microcode updates for the CPU.

I was also affected by the PCIe 4.x issue and had crashes in FF14. I have switched to PCIe 3 in the BIOS and the crashes went away. Months later AMD published a new Agesa version and the PCIE 4.x issues were fixed.

This are issues which have nothing to do with the game.

The fact that this more got out of have with Endwalker releasing tells me it's something with what they did with the game and not so much the system
I used to run into DX11 errors more related to I think fullscreen mode but changing that had it run just fine.

I wouldn't have bothered initializing my forum account if this were still the case.
But also like I have said, some days it can run 12 hours no issues and some nights will crash 3-4 times in the span of a couple hours, even just sitting still.
Yet everything else is rock solid in performance.
I point my finger at the game and possibly the engine it runs on as it's not a very conventional engine because Enix.... is well... Enix and want to be engine makers in the most convoluted way. Their engine tools are really more catered to consoles rather than PC. Also getting a fix for broken mechanics for a SE game can sometimes take a miracle or just never happen... On PC that is. Case in point, Nier Automata PC had to be modded by the fanbase to fix the game.

Once again, all of the DX11 crash issues you are having is due to hardware faults. Several of us have explained this to you multiple times along with stating that the random nature of the crashes are also due to hardware faults. Not to mention having to reinstall your VIDEO DRIVERS is a sure sign of hardware faults and it doesn't matter AT ALL that everything else is "rock solid" for you. That is completely irrelevant and useless to keep stating because it means NOTHING. But hey, if you want to keep pointing fingers and blaming the game/engine/whatever else instead of the actual problem of faulty hardware because you don't want to admit that maybe, just maybe, your precious PC might have issues then more power to ya and keep doing it. Just don't expect any further help from people and don't expect the FF14 dev team to magically be able to fix your faulty PC either. At this point, you've only got two options....actually find and fix your faulty PC hardware or quit playing cause nothing else is gonna happen.

Well my "Faulty" PC is fine on EVERY THING ELSE
Interesting how when you look around tons of posts stating DX11 errors.... Obviously they must have broken systems too that somehow only have issues with 1 game?

So I don't expect anyone to "fix" my "faulty pc" as to if I contact ANYONE they will without a doubt point straight to the program and not the hardware. Even their own support staff suggests more software related fixes than pointing straight to the hardware first... how interesting that they even contradict you people claiming that a huge amount of people have "fault" hardware.

Once again it seems I must say this. It doesn't matter if your PC is "fine" with everything else! Stop saying that because it means absolutely NOTHING! Faulty hardware can 100% without a doubt be triggered by ONE single thing! Hell, I've known people who've had hardware issues being triggered just from YouTube videos and only them so it really doesn't matter AT ALL if everything else is fine! And yes, it is absolutely possible and almost certainly a fact that all the people with DX11 crashes have faulty/unstable hardware in their PCs. And again, it is entirely, 100% possible for only a SINGLE thing to trigger the faulty/unstable hardware!

Also, if these people you contact point at the game, they clearly don't know ANYTHING about PCs and shouldn't be trusted with any complex electronics! Also, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the forum support staff here aren't even proper support staff. They're just people that have been hired and given list of support responses to reply with in topics here. Or haven't you noticed the fact they only ever reply with the same responses and messages all the time to everyone? So you can't even use the official forum support staff here to support your false claims of it being the game at fault.

Look around. IT ISNT ONLY ME RUNNING INTO DX11 ERRORS.

Never said you were the only one. I'm not blind, I see all the other topics and people reporting DX11 errors. Thing is, DX11 errors are an issue caused by unstable/faulty hardware regardless of the game causing them. Could be ANY other DX11 game causing crashes to happen and it'd still be the same reason. Faulty/unstable hardware. So all those other people having DX11 crashes/errors/etc. also have unstable/faulty hardware.

You are aware that the game can itself run into an issue on client side that isn't hardware related.
DX11 is an coding, FFXIV is code running on an engine that requires to utilize the coding for the API on both dx9 and DX11. You know what.. I give up on you guys. Thankfully keeping stuff like discord and stuff closed seems to have made it stable. Software.
