Game will not launch: A fatal DirectX error has occurred.(30000000)

[Saitress]

Hi there. Same error since update. If u have an old PC i have a bad news for u guys.
I'm also running an old laptop and hadn't had any issues till this new update. But now i can't even log into game bc of DirectX error. I've managed to launch game at 1fps but that's all.
I guess this is the end for those of us (like me)who can't afford to upgrade to new system requirements.
Gg guys.

This method can get your account banned because these files alter software download files. It's against the ToS to alter FFXIV software in any way other than intended, as downloaded. All files must be kept as is unless done within the game itself, example: changing system or character configurations. Inadvertantly, the files change the way the game loads. SE has commented on errors similar to this with "check the minimum system requirements" and "update your drivers" when getting these errors. Many of us know that no amount of updating will fix the fatal DirectX error (30000000). 9 out 10 who receive this error have systems less than minimum requirement. The requiremenets required changed with the release of Dawntrail. I could run Endwalker on this old brick of a computer, but when Dawntrail was released, the errors began right away. There is no getting beyond the pre-SE logo screen. I sucked it in as a lower end system. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
