Hello, I purchased FFXIV on release and played for close to a month with no issues. I then returned in may of this year and played for another month, once again with no issues.

My fiancee and I have decided to come back to the game once again, however this time after installing and during the patching process I kept getting the windows "FFXIV has stopped working" message. I was able to just restart the patcher 10x or more and get through the process, as it was random. But now every log in once I have selected my character and begin to log in, it has the same error. Sometimes I can get onto the character and take a step or two, but for the most part it quits working on the load screen.

Does anyone have any insight or idea as to what causes this issue? I appreciate any help. Thank you.
