Greetings realfakejames,

I'm really sorry to hear that you're experiencing this crashing issue. I would like to ask if you're receiving any specific error messages or does the game just immediately close out to the desktop? Have there been any updates or changes made recently to the PC? Also, have you tried playing the game in different modes such as full screen, borderless, or windowed? If you haven't, I would recommend trying out these three modes and seeing if the error persists or occurs more frequently on one or the other.

Additionally, could you please provide us with a System Report? You can locate your System Report within the FINAL FANTASY XIV launcher. Once there, click on the 'Config' option (with a gear symbol). To the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display' and it will then provide you with a System Report for your device.

Thank you for visiting the FINAL FANTASY XIV Technical Support Forums!
