Can confirm this happened to me on Windows 7 64bit as well. There is a fix in another thread on the forum and I can confirm it worked for me.

Very annoying, I know it's to be expected on Windows 7 that a lot of new games won't be supported but when a game you've been playing happily and running fine for ages is suddenly unplayable it's a bit of a kick in the teeth. Apparently we "should have known cuz they told you"... well I didn't and I've been playing for over a year and yes I do look into update and changes to the game, not in massive depth but I generally know upcoming content and patch dates so I'm not playing totally blind.

Should update to a new windows but the idea still makes me feel a bit sick tbh. 7 just works and isn't plagued by all the shady stuff you find in newer windows.

Oh and yes I also tried everything before coming on here, including uninstalling xD
RIP playing tonight.

They did warn us a couple of weeks ago that this would happen: https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...4283568449fad7

Also, the game can break on Win7 with any update. That W7 isn't supported any longer means they won't test new updates on W7. That way bugs on W7 can easily sneak in without anyone noticing beforehand.
