game does not launch

[Gerel]

Same here. Played fine on max settings before the maintenance, got a "very high" with such for the Benchmark, and all of my other games run fine. It's just FFXIV that's giving me issues with the constant black screen into auto-closure. Playing on PC, Windows 10 64-bit, Nvidia, Standalone version of the game.

A solution I found was while scrounging Reddit and the Forums yesterday
if the issue seems it freezes before the square enix logo pops up atleast
If on STEAM:

Step 1:
Open the Launcher. Login
Do not click the "Play" Button yet

Step 2:
Open task Manager
find in the program list "Steam (32-bit)"
Close that specific program. None of the other steam programs

Step 3:
Then click Play


Seems to work everytime on my end.
No idear why specifically I have to do this solution but it's a workaround I found working I have to do everytime i want to Launch the game

(First time replying on the forums so hope this still helps you people)

This is strange, but it worked for me, before I had to open the launcher at least 10 times before the game started, with your information, it opened the first time.
I hope this is resolved as soon as possible

Hi friends,

I've been through hell figuring this out. I tried reinstalling, updating drivers, BIOS, etc. I even wiped my hard drive to zero and reinstalled EVERYTHING. About to give up, I went to NVIDIA website and of course, that said my GTX1060 driver was up to date. I did however, chance on a download called:

GeForce Game Ready Driver - WHQL
Driver Version: 556.12 - Release Date: Thu Jun 27, 2024.

It replaced my driver and the game began working! Now just waiting in the 2100 person que. Yay!

Link to the GTX1060 series download below.

Hope it helps some of you!
