DX11 crashes

[Brennus]

My previous post was at 4:53 PM. It's now 5:53 PM. After waiting through the last queue, I got logged in briefly. Started working with my retainers again. I had barely summoned the first one before the crash happened again. I immediately fired up the launcher, got back into yet another queue, this one is now 2k+. Rinse, repeat. One more crash and I'll go play my old game WoW, at least until later on this evening when the queues will have tapered out a bit. It's getting so, so frustrating.

I think that "ffxiv_dx11" errors are not the same as Fatal DirectX errors. The application file from which FFXIV executes is named ffxiv_dx11.exe. So ""ffxiv_dx11" errors are probably not caused just by graphics issues, could be anything up with the client.

It's a "catch all" error. Windows event viewer redirects it to Hardware errors even though there's nothing wrong with peoples hardware, it's their garbage code that is conflicting with all kinds of different things, some people have issues because of USB devices, others memory settings and other stuff.

Same for me these last days, i got a few every week now, while normally i had 1-2 within an year... they definitly messed smt up...

I've had 5-6 crashes in the past couple days.

Crashed again 5 times today. Each time I can play for about 15-20 minutes and then the dreaded error dialog comes up again. Twice it completely froze everything on my machine, forcing me to do a hard reboot.

It is very annoying! I have been having the fatal directx error 11000002 spontaneously, maybe once or twice a day which seems lucky. Sometimes it locks up or crashes my PC entirely. R5 3600 / RX 6600 / 750w psu / 16gb ddr4 / good mobo all stock and running cool. Does not happen with other games. I play at 4k 60 capped standard settings. Have tried literally everything and apparently this has been happening for awhile now with other people even trying entirely new windows reinstalls to no avail. It's really rough with the queues, please help support team!

Help! My game is getting worse and worse with these crashes. I can barely remain anywhere for long before FFXIV either shuts down or freezes and locks my whole PC down along with it.

There must be a way for us to get this fixed. Please respond and let me know, thank you very much.

My wife logged out and got that error, I logged a good 15 min later and got the same....


EDIT: lol imma not reinstall a 50gb game for nothing, i had 0 problems until 6.0 hit and the last patch made it worse, during 5.5 i could run two games on 4k literally the whole day and it would be fine... something got messed up.

Want to add weight to this error as I've been having the exact same issue since the update after maintenance this week. It first occurred when interacting with my retainers as well. This afternoon at 17:37 I logged into a queue of 773, and as I was about to check my retainers, I get booted from the game for the 2nd time today with this error. Now an hour later, the queue is 1,492! So after having gotten in the game in a reasonable amount of time, now my wait time just skyrocketed to get in and experience more of the same I'm sure. I've updated my video drivers, and my system is brand new, and has been through perfunctory checks as per 'support'. I love this game and can overlook the queue times, but this is RNG game booting is vexing and irritating when it only starts occurring after patch/maintenance.
