"Exiting Final Fantasy XIX (17)"

[PunkyPewster]

After "Connecting to Data Center," choosing my character at the log in area, I receive the message "The world is currently full." THEN the "Now Loading" screen appears, it freezes, and I get the message:

"an unexpected error has occurred. Exiting Final Fantasy XIX (17)."

This has happened 4 times in a row. I restart the computer. I shut down the computer. Over and over. I just installed a new video card with fresh drivers.

I used a second computer to log into the game, and my character was frozen in the cut screen for the dungeon "A Grand Cosmos". Once able to fully complete that cut screen with my second computer, I logged into my first computer and now I can successfully log in with my preferred character.

It appears the problem is resolved.

are you running a different resolution with the new card? it could be that you need to change the resolution setting in the text file in documents, I would recommend a fresh install tho just because drivers like to be finicky

Thank you for responding!

The settings for my new card, AMD Radeon RX 6600, were set to "Default" but my settings for the game are the highest I can get them. So, yes, there is indeed a discrepancy if that is what you mean.

I just added another driver (I assumed I had installed all of the most recent ones -- perhaps not?)

It might work now. Let's see!
