You'll first want to head over to the Archive link pasted in the post description. From there, click on "GZIP" and then "dxvk-1.7.1-bin.tar.gz".


Download and open this using a program like WinRAR. You'll find the two files you need in the folder that corresponds to your system type.


Drag these two files into your game folder. For me, I have the game via Steam, so mine can be found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\game

From there, try to boot the game and see if you're able to get in! It worked wonders for me!!
Tried this on my laptop.
It fixed the error, but in exchange I can't make it any further than the Square Enix logo before the game starts flashing and strobing, and I can't click out of it.
