DX11 crashes

[Brennus]

I've been getting a similar error ever since upgrading my video card.




I even upgraded the rest of my system (new mobo, cpu, memory, SSDs) and still get it too.

Limiting my fps to 60 seems to help.

How do you limit your FPS?

Under "Frame Rate"

Ah, cool, thanks. I'll give this a try.

Tried limiting FPS as suggested. No change. DX11 crashes continue.

Tried (again) to toggle between full screen, windowed, windowed without border. No difference.

Ran MemTest86 on my RAM, everything passes.

Still awaiting a working solution. Crashed 5-6 times tonight, gave up after a while.

I have re-installed my FFXIV game onto my Windows 10 OS drive (C: drive) as suggested. The game ran for a while, but then crashed again. Since then it's crashed another several times, pretty much randomly: while I'm reviewing my retainers' completed ventures, when I'm having my equipment mended, just standing out in the middle of nowhere with no other player around me, while watching a cutscene, etc., etc.

In view of several other threads I find on this forum:

..and more than I won't link to here, this is a far from isolated problem, and which has gone on for a long while. Please, Square Enix, give us a solution for this. It's not our rigs or what we do, its the game itself. Make it so it works. The story is great and the gameplay is fantastic, we love your game, just fix this DirectX11 issue. Switching to DX9 doesn't solve the problem either, I've tried it multiple times with the same results.

I totally agree with this post !!! I've spent many hours trying to fix this. This issue started for me after Endwalker installation. I love this game and really would like to play again.

Not working. Crashes even worst now. With in a few minutes of logging in.

None of this works, it has never worked and will never work.

This is not a new issue, apparently, considering the many threads I see on this subject.

Why is it I can't find an acknowledgement from SE anywhere, let alone any proposed fix/solution? I still try to play the game every day, but the crashes make it so so annoying, especially because I still run into long queues to log back in each time.

Another DirectX11 crash just occurred. I waited through a queue of 2k+ to login and play today, Sunday afternoon. I finally made it in, stayed in Ul'dah, looked through my retainers, sent them on new ventures, and was about to do some materia melding onto a new set of crafter gear I'd just obtained for my character.

Boum! The DX11 Primal strikes again. The game crashes with its customary DX11 error dialog. I hurriedly re-started the launcher, logged back into the server, and now I get this dreaded response:

<Sigh> Another wasted afternoon trying to play FFXIV.

Since the patch dropped, I'm getting a lot more crashes than I used to. It's particularly infuriating when it happens the MOMENT that I accept a duty and it begins to load me in. Not only did I wait through the queue to get in the game and the duty finder queue... but now I have to wait through a 1k+ queue to get back into the game, only to find I've been kicked from the dungeon for being offline. Awesome. So, on top of being plagued with the sound distortion since EW launched, now I have to clench up every time I queue in duty finder for fear of DX taking a running leap off a short pier. This has been the absolute worst expansion for me, bug-wise. I can't catch a break.
