Loading into Limsa Lominsa causing game to crash to desktop

[Neenernina]

What does the event log say after a crash to desktop? There might be a pointer on which system module/driver DLL caused the issue. Do other games you play have crashing issues?

Also, try uninstalling your graphics driver with a tool like DDU. GPU drivers tend to not clean themselves out completely when you use their included uninstall program.

I know it's pretty much a shot in the dark, but it's worth trying.

One last thing you could try to rule out any software issue, is to try to install another copy of Windows 10/11 on an USB drive using a tool like Rufus, and trying to run the game from there, but it's a rather involved process.

Thanks for your attempt to help, the fault log didnt really give me much to go on when I looked at it back when i was troubleshooting;

In the end I ended up upgrading my computer, cause while i bought the old one in 2019, it was a laptop and was kinda intended to be a stopgap while I moved countries.
