Directx 11 errors causing crash

[Loxagn]

Upon reaching the title screen, an error window pops up displaying the following:

An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV. 2021-12-23_15:20
ffxiv_dx11.exe+140F5C7
ffxiv_dx11.exe+14D1168

ffxiv_dx11.exe+14B7F41
ffxiv_dx11.exe+1455C99
KERNEL32.DLL+17034
ntdll+52651

None of the fixes provided by browsing forum threads or suggested by support chat have actually fixed the problem and I am becoming incredibly frustrated. This error only popped up after I installed 6.01 and has become progressively more unmanageable since. As of today the errors have started up again and I am at my wit's end.
Please send help.

[RdoKodr]

It won't help getting rid of the problem, but as someone that gets the same error I'm usually able to play so long as I ignore the error and just deal with the lack of any audio whatsoever. It sucks, but at least you can "play."

[Loxagn]

If I could get something, anything, resembling a concrete cause of this issue and either a 'here is how you fix it' or a 'this is on our end and we're working on it', it'd be different, but I'm flailing around in the dark here!
I want to play this game.
I love this game.
I feel like if any other game were doing this to me I'd have demanded a refund and uninstalled a month ago when this error first started happening, but all I want to do is keep playing.
It'd be really nice if Square could help me continue to give them money.
