The platform I play on is Windows.

I only have one character so im not sure if it happens on others.

It occurs as soon as i click play.

It happens everytime i click play while trying to launch on Directx11

the exact error is this; "The latest version of DirectX is required to play FFXIV. Please download and install the DirectX End-User Runtime, then restart the game.----(0)

I run only ffxiv

the pc isnt over heating

pc was not updated

It happens in both modes

e tried updating my windows ive tried updating my drivers ive updated everything i could update. Ive looked through numerous forum posts but I couldnt come up with anything conclusive. Ive tried restoring the game files.
