Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Please try the following:
- Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card and sound drivers (if applicable). It appears that your GPU [AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX] driver was last updated on [5/7/2024]. At this time there should be a newer version available, please try updating the driver to see if it helps resolve the issue.

If you notice the issue began after a recent update, please try reverting the changes instead.

Please note, if you would like to switch between DirectX11 and DirectX9, simply check the 'Settings' section in the FINAL FANTASY XIV launcher and select/unselect the associated toggle.

- Please try lowering the resolution.
- Please try running the game as an administrator.
- Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything.
- Please be sure that Final Fantasy XIV is installed to the C: Drive. (If Steam version, make sure both the game and Steam are installed on same drive)
- Please be sure to disable or remove any overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA etc.) as they may interfere with startup.
- Make sure that the Windows OS is fully updated.
- Verify installation files (Steam)
- Reinstall game (If steam version, try uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and Steam)

Thank you once again for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!
