Simple as that. I log in, launch the game, hit start, click my character, wait through queue, wait through load screen and poof. The game is dead. The game ran fine earlier today right up until me and some friends went to queue the new raid. I had run it a few times from Tuesday to Thursday so I know it's not more than my new computer can handle.

Been trying to fix it for 4 hours now and nothing works. Restarting, repairing, reinstalling drivers, the works.

A couple of times I got an error message atypical of the issues the game sometimes has with DX11, but for the most part it just closes with no error. I got a LOT of these after Endwalker released during the early access week from pre-ordering and right after several patches. Usually they'd stop being a problem overnight and I'm hoping that's the case again, but I'm getting super irritated having to deal with it time and time again.

I suspect today's patch has something to do with it and I'm honestly getting beyond fed-up of not being able to play the game I'm paying a sub for. I love XIV to bits, but this is getting really tiresome.

I can't be the only one with this issue, right? Seen tons of Reddit posts and citation from the forums that show this isn't an isolated incident. I just want to play the game I like, but at this rate I'm going to have to end my sub because there's no point paying for something that isn't working and I REALLY don't want to do that.
