I have the steam version of FFXIV and have not even been able to see the title screen when I hit Play in the launcher.

I have tried a multitude of fixes (from both Reddit and here) including reinstalling, verifying, repairing, changing to DX9, launching with and without steam overlay, disabling optimisation of the full-screen mode, etc and nothing has worked. In fact, it used to have a black screen and only crash if I clicked on my screen, now it just crashes without me having to click at all lol. I have reverted any settings I've changed just in case and tried different combinations of these things as well.

My game worked completely alright yesterday prior to the patch, and now I cannot get it to work at all.

I know that people are probably super busy, but I've seen nothing addressing this issue and it appears that quite a few people are having this and not able to play the patch/are playing it through less than ideal means.

Any help would be appreciated!
