Patch 1.22c Notes

[Jinko]

It's always been hardware related, if you actually paid attention to a lot of people's problems and the setups they had when you mention "I haven't had x problem before" it's always because while some people think they have a good setup, there's always 1 thing that XIV doesn't like which hinders performance for some.

This is why if you even watch some people's non sped up videos you can notice a vast difference in load times for people, which is why some people actually time out even if nothing with XIV specifically is crashing them. The most common problem, the patcher, works for people but it also "never works, have to utorrent it" for others. As long as XIV remains unoptimized, PC setups are a common cause for a lot of issues in XIV since there's no "standard" for this game beyond leaving AO off.

If a lot of people has the issue, it must be server specific since the 2 crowded servers I play on I haven't heard anyone having zone crashes constantly or the shouts would be flooded with "why am I always dcing? ashakhwsuihdhajsh"..I actually haven't seen a lot of topics regarding non-DX related crashes in awhile either.

So I think you mean its not hardware related but SE's inability to program correctly and/or provide decent client to server data transfer.

Stop being a white knight for a second and let us be realistic about this.

I suppose next you will blame peoples hardware set up for crashing when you tab in fullscreen or when you skip a cutscene ?

Maybe its Microsoft's fault that they didn't design DirectX properly or maybe we can blame the moon or the sun instead.
