DiectX crashes (multiple error lines)

[Darkstride]

Try underclocking your GPU slightly, or setting it to base clock of the 4090 FE. XIV doesn't play well with overclocking (even factory) and seems to just randomly decide when it wants to throw a fit about it.

The only times I've had crashes in XIV, I fixed them by adjusting my clock speed. It's happened a few times across different PCs and that was always the culprit. I also have a 4090 and started getting random crashes around patch 6.5. I set my GPU to -100ish and I've had no more crashes since then.

Side note, it's not necessarily a Direct X error, it's just the game program itself crashing. DX11 is just in the program name (ffxiv_dx11.exe), in contrast to the DX9 version.
